I doubt this is a Telerik component problem but maybe someone here has run across it and has the answer.

I have a form that has a Checkbox, 2 textareas, 2 required field validators, randscriptmanager and an radajaxmanager on it. The first required validator has it's enabled property set to false. If the user clicks the check box the code enables that validator. I have the radajazmanager set to update the validator on the checkbox click.

The problem is that it appears that the clientside validation for the first validator stops working after the ajax postback. The second validator, the one that was enabled the whole time works fine but the second one will not work until a normal post back occurs.

Hope fully that makes sense. Here is the code.

Partial Class valtest

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

End Sub

Protected Sub uiCEUsOffered_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles uiCEUsOffered.CheckedChanged

RequiredFieldValidator11.Enabled = uiCEUsOffered.Checked

RequiredFieldValidator11.EnableClientScript = uiCEUsOffered.Checked

End Sub

End Class

aspx code

<div>

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

<tr>

<td align="right" class="body-text-17" valign="top">

CEUs offered:

</td>

<td align="right" class="body-text-17">

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello Brian,

To overcome that issue, try wrapping the RequiredFieldValidator into an ASP:Panel and add it instead to the updated control collection:

<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="Panel1" style="display:inline-block">

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator11" runat="server" ControlToValidate="uiCEUsRegisterInfo"

Enabled="False" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

</asp:Panel>

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server" EnablePageHeadUpdate="False">

<AjaxSettings>

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="uiCEUsOffered">

<UpdatedControls>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="Panel1" UpdatePanelRenderMode="Inline" />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

</AjaxSettings>

</telerik:RadAjaxManager>
