question about Page_ClientValidate() function

[Bob]

Hi,

i know what the javascript function Page_ClientValidate() function does:
tests if all controls meet asp.net validation criteria. This function is
provided by asp.net.
But how can a browser (and escpecially firefox, netscape ..) understand that
function, because it's not pre-programmed in the browser like the base
javascript code.

Thanks
Bob

All what the function does is defined in ASP.NET's client-side validsation
library which is loaded to the browser by ASP.NET when a page needing
validation controls is requested.

Starting in ASP.NEt 2.0 these functions (there are quite a alot of them)
have been written in cross-browser compatible way so they work in all modern
browsers.

For example Page_ClientValidate

function Page_ClientValidate(validationGroup) {
Page_InvalidControlToBeFocused = null;
if (typeof(Page_Validators) == "undefined") {
return true;
}
var i;
for (i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
ValidatorValidate(Page_Validators, validationGroup, null);
}
ValidatorUpdateIsValid();
ValidationSummaryOnSubmit(validationGroup);
Page_BlockSubmit = !Page_IsValid;
return Page_IsValid;
}

E.g down to the bottom these functions are just javascript accessing DOM
etc. E.g that base javascript.

Thanks, but i still don't know how a browser can interpret those new
functions. The browser (IE, Netscape ..) on my desktop doens't know those
new functions, right? So they must be passed from aspnet (server) to the
browser by a way or another in order to be integrated into the browser.
You see what i don't understand?
Thanks

Howdy,

They are downloaded by browser through WebResource.axd http handler. View
HTML source of the page and you'll see something like <script
type="text/javascript" src="WebResource.axd?54£%£$%5whatever". in order to
see content of these files simply select File->Save As to a new directory (
you'll find all the files there, including javascripts as well).

Milosz gave you the answer that they are resources in System.Web assembly,
loaded with WebResource handler. You can also inspect all those resources by
getting Reflector, and viewing resources in System.Web assembly (especially
WebUIValidation.js)
