Change Tab Panel on Validation Failed.

Hai Guys,

I have 4 tab panels. The first panel contains all required fields. The other tabs having optional fields. My problem is, if some of the required fields are empty then the first tab is not shown, Its shows only currently selected tab. SetFocusOnError property is set to true in Required Field Validator. Tab container is placed inside UpdatePanel control. Please help me on this issue. Thanks in advance

Hi pbarunkumar,

The behavior you are expierencing is not the default behavior.

Could you please post a working code example which replicates this behavior? This way I can easily look into the problem!

Kind regards,
Wim

Hi Pbarunkumar,

The key to your problem is how to hide a Tab , so you should see my reply onthis thread. I have shown how to do it on the client and server side. Please be careful about the ActiveTabIndex property. When you hide the first tab, ActiveTabIndex must not be 0.

Best regards,

CascadingDropDown options is null or not an object

I have a couple of dropdown CascadingDropDown and the user is required to select an option from the first and then the second, and then click add. However, if they press add to fast, I get the error "'options' is null or not an object"

It's as if the the second dropdown is not full before the event is posted?!?!? Anyone know how I can prevent this?

Hi Poidda,

Based on my experience, to resolve this kind of issue we should make sure whether the problem is occurred on the client side or on the server side. Based on your description, I think your problem is likely occurred on the server side.

If it is a client issue, we suggest that you should keep the Button to be disabled until the last essential CascadingDropDown is selected. For example:

function pageLoad(){
$find("myCDEState").add_selectionChanged(onCCDSelected)
}
function onCCDSelected(){
//your other javascript code here.

$get("<%=Button.ClientID%>").disabled = false;
}

Otherwise , you should do some checking work on the server side. If it's null, return to the orignal page.

Best regards,

Jonathan
