RadTextBox Validation when loss of focus

[gary]

Hi,

I am trying to add validation to a RadTextBox that will cause validation to occur when the text box loses focus.

The scenerio is: If a user uses the Tab key to move out of a text box that is a reuired field, I am trying to display an error message stating that the field is a required field. I tried using RequiredFieldValidator control, which works fine when user submits, and CustomValidator control setting setting ValidateEmptyText to true.

Is there a way that this can be done client-side without writing JavaScript? If JavaScript needs to be written, what are some of the key calls to make?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Gary,

Did you set the RequiredFieldValidator's Display property to Dynamic? Or when you load your page you can call Page.Validate("ValidationGroupName") to display the required fields when the page loads, so they know which fields are required.

I hope that helps.
