I have an OnClientClick assigned to a javascript function that "disables" the validation when a certain button is clicked.
I have this button within a FormView:
<asp:Button ID="btnSaveAndExitTop" runat="server" Text="Save & Exit" OnClick="btnSave_Click" style="margin-right:10px;"
This is the javascript to disable all the validators on the page:
function DisableValidators()
{
for(var i=0;i< Page_Validators.length;i++
{
ValidatorEnable(Page_Valid
}
}
The javascript fires. When I step through the javascript I can see the enabled element of the validator turn to false but the page valiation still fires and the errors are still displayed.
What am I doing wrong here?

Do you mean the element that the validator is trying to validate? If so, then yes. All the controls that are being "validated" are enabled.
At present, all the validators are enabled when this code is called on the OnClientClick event.
Is there another way to just turn off validation programmatically, client-side in one call? I have tried calling Page_ValidationActive=fals
With some more research I found that if I disable all the validation controls in the Page_Load on "IsPostBack" I can get close to what I want.
if (!Page.IsPostback)
{...}
else
{
foreach (BaseValidator v in Page.Validators)
{
v.Enabled = false;
}
}
I'd like to just turn server-side validation of all these controls off and manage which ones get fired on the client-side. Is this possible? Can I, through a setting, disable all *server-side* validation of the validation controls without disabling the client-side validation?

In your validator you might need to check if the element is enabled
