[Solved] Required validator

[JK]

Hi,

I have two rad editors on a form and both need to have some text to be added.  Can you set the editors to make them required feilds?

If so how?

thanks,

JK

D'oh!

Sorry been working too many long hours!  Did not see the control in the list when I added the Validator.

Thanks,

When using your validator demo in Firefox and IE we noticed the if a user were to enter line breaks and/or spaces (except IE) without adding any additional text, the required validator would not fire.  We want to prevent our users from submitting blank messages by stripping off those types of characters off the front (&nbsp;, <p>, <br/>).

Hello Shellie,

The &nbsp; entity and <p> and <br/> tags are valid HTML content and we think that the observed validator behavior is the expected one.
Our suggestion is to implement your own logic based on Custom Validator. You can see an example with Custom Validator in the Validators example.
