Hello,
If you add (say) two text boxes to a form, then add a validator with
some simple rule for one of them, you can observer the following
problem:-
Type some erroneous value in the text box with the validator, then click
on the other text box. This makes the validator's red error message
appear. Now, change the invalid text to something valid, and without
clicking anywhere else, click the submit button.
What happens? The validator is fired again, turning off the error (as
the text is now valid) BUT THE FORM DOES NOT SUBMIT!!! You have to click
the submit button a second time to submit it.
This is a serious usability issue, as the majority of people would sit
looking at the page, waiting for it to do something. The page would sit
there looking at them, waiting for them to do something.
Guess who will get bored and go somewhere else first?
Anyone got a fix for this issue? TIA
