Custom field validators not firing in Firefox or Netscape

[John Abbler]

I'm currently testing doing some testing with other browsers and have found
that my custom field validators aren't firing with Firefox or Netscape, but
they work fine with Ie.

Here's the code I'm using:

<asp:CustomValidator id="vld1PaymentType"
ClientValidationFunction="ValidateRadiobutton" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Payment Type must be selected"
CssClass="ValidationMessage"></asp:CustomValidator>

<script language="javascript">
function ValidateRadiobutton(oSrc, args) {
if(document.all["<%=rbChoiceA.ClientID%>"].checked == false &&
document.all["<%=rbChoiceB.ClientID%>"].checked == false){
args.IsValid = false;
}
}
</script>

Am I not going about this the right way or there another way to validate a
radio button?

Thanks!

Hi John, the document.all collection is IE only so use
document.getElementById('<%= rbChoiceA.ClientId%>')

Do other *client side* validator work? By default Firefox isn't recognised
as "up-level" browser, so no javascript is emitted.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the reply. I have been using the BrowserCaps enhancement.

I also a Java Script function to disable the back button that does work.

function DisableBackButton(oSrc, args) { window.history.forward(1); }

I tried changing the to the "getElementById" function.

function ValidateRadiobutton(oSrc, args) {
if(document.getElementById["<%=rbChoiceA.ClientID%>"].checked == false &&
document.getElementById["<%=rbChoiceB.ClientID%>"].checked == false){
args.IsValid = false;
}
}

Unfortunately, it's still not working yet.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Firefox has tons of plugins that let you debug your client side code.
Actually, by default it has the JavaScript debugger. You just need to open
it up on your page and will tell you all of your errors.
