style.display = 'none' makes the error msg not display again
1. I click the submit button and an error msg is displayed because the textbox is empty
2. I click Clear and the Javascript is called and the error msg is cleared
3. So far so good
5. I click Submit again, and the textbox is empty but this time, the error msg is not displayed.
I think it's because of style.display = 'none' that wont allow the error msg to be displayed again.
Anything else i can use besides style.display ='none'?
<script type="text/javascript">
function clrCtrl() {
document.getElementById("<%= ccNumber.ClientID %>").value = "";
document.getElementById("<%= RequiredFieldValidator4.ClientID %>").style.display = 'none';
}
</script>
style.display = 'none' clears the erorr msg is the first time. This is good.
in Step 5 above, when I click on submit button again when the textfield is empty...the error msg should show again but it doesnt. I think it's because the first time...style.display = 'none'
does something and the error msg is not displayed again...
I cant use "block'...i wasnt to clear the field but i dont want to clear it forever...
And an input field:
<input type="text" maxlength="16" class="InputFields" tabindex="1" runat="server" name="ccNumber" id="ccNumber" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ID="RequiredFieldValidator4" ControlToValidate="ccNumber" Text="Card Number is required." ErrorMessage="Card Number is required."></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
And the button that calls the Javascript and the submit button
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnCancel" CausesValidation="false" OnClientClick="clrCtrl();return false;" runat="server" Text="Clear" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbSubmit" OnClick="lbSubmit_OnClick" CausesValidation="true" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
1. The first time when I click on the submit button without entering anything in the input box, the fieldvalidator error msg is displayed.
2. I click the clear button and this error is cleared
3. I click the submit button again without entering anything in the input box (just like step 1), but this time, the fieldvalidator doesnt display the error msg. I think it's because of the style.display ='none' does something to that field. If I remove the javascript...the fieldvalidator's error msg gets displayed the second time (or whenever i click submit without entering anything in the input box)
User clicks submit and the error msg is displayed. User clicks clear and the error msg is cleared. User clicks submit again...at this point..the error msg should display again ...how can I change that Javascript to display the error msg? I have to check the value of the input box?
