Validation control problem

fniles · Apr 27, 2007

I am using a Regular Expression Validator and expression ^.{4,8}$ but even
when I type in "asdf",
"1234", or "asdf1234" when I click on the submit button it keeps giving me
the error "Password must be between 4 and 8 characters in length". What did
I do wrong in the following Page1.aspx ? Thank you.

<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<input id="txtPassword" runat=server type="password" /> 
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1"
runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtPassword"
ErrorMessage="Password must be between 4 and 8 characters in length"
ValidationExpression="^.{4,8}$"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="txtSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" /></div>
</form>
</body>

I copied your code verbatim into a project and it appears to work fine for
me.

Ironic how I was just asking for help myself but I think the validator is
only seeing parting of the expression.
I would try this ^[.]{4,8}$ and note we can test the validation much faster
in the page by tabbing out of the textbox.

I use ^.{4,8}$ in another project and it works. I don't know why it
did not work in the other project. THank you for your help.
