Required field on step back

[Yan]

Hi,  in my radwizard,  I have multile steps with different groups.  I try to find a way to bypass the validation when I press "previous" button.  There is no way I can hit previous without my required field validator interrupting me.

I found a thread where you ask to add the following javascript :
function OnClientButtonClicking(sender, args) {
                if (sender.get_activeIndex() > args.get_nextActiveStep().get_index()) {
                     args.set_cancel(true);
                     sender.set_activeIndex(args.get_nextActiveStep().get_index());
                 }
            }
When I debug,  I can see the script is called but there is something else preventing the page from going to the previous one.  Required field validator kicks in as soon as I hit previous.
Thank you for your help

or is it possible to set CausesValidation=false for the previous button?

ok i've got more information but it stills does not work as intended.  If the wizzard is purelu client side,  required field is not trigger when I hit previous.

 

the problem is if I have a code behind trigged when I clic previous,  the required field kicks and I can't get to previous step.

if I handle OnActiveStepChanged on the code behind,  there is no way I cant prevent the required field from triggering.

Hello Yan,

The required field validation will be triggered on each postback of the page. Therefore, when you trigger a server event the required field validation will be triggered for the fields on your current step.

If you want to keep Previous click clear from validations, I would suggest you handle the navigation between steps on client, as demonstrated on the following demo.
