How to invoke multiple Javascript validation functions on ASP.net button click?
Basic workflow of the page
Image of Payment page:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ava3iL9se3C3gTF_XJ_RiBBsWDHs
I have a payment page that has a name textbox (txtName), a PIN textbox (txtPin) and two textboxes (txtPaymentDate and txtPaymentTime) containing payment date and time respectively. The page also has a payment button (btnPay). txtName has a RequiredFieldValidator that checks if the field is blank. txtPin has a CustomValidator that checks if the field has a six-digit numeric value. A third CustomValidator makes sure that either both txtPaymentDate and txtPaymentTime are clear, or both of them are selected at the same time. Just one of them can't be selected. All these validation checks need to be on the client side.
While clicking btnPay, it'll check on the client side if txtPaymentDate and txtPaymentTime are selected together. If yes, then the value of txtPaymentDate should be between 01/01/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM. If the value is not within the specified dates, an alert message will be displayed and click event cancelled.
If all the above validations are successful, btnPay postback will occur and the server side event of btnPay will be fired.
This is what I want to achieve in the exact order on clicking btnPay:
- All the validations of the validator controls on client side will take place. If validation of any validator control on client side fails, it'll stop btnPay click event. No need to go to step 2 either.
- On successful validation of all the validator controls above, a client side validation will check if txtPaymentDate and txtPaymentTime are both selected, and if value of txtPaymentDate is within the specified range. If this validation fails, btnPay click event is stopped too.
- Only if the above two steps are successful, btnPay postback will occur and the server side event of btnPay will be fired.
What's actually happening while clicking btnPay:
- None of the "client side" validations of the validator controls are occurring at all. Instead, the respective "server side" validations of the validator controls are occurring.
- Once step 1 is successfully validated, client side validation to check if value of txtPaymentDate is within specified range is occurring successfully. It's also blocking btnPay click event if this validation is not true, which is good as per requirement.
- If the above two validations are successful, btnPay postback is taking place successfully firing server side event of btnPay, which too is OK as per requirement.
Step 1 marked in italics above is my problem. When I click btnPay, instead of executing the "CLIENT SIDE" functions of the validators, the respective "SERVER SIDE" functions of the validators are being executed. I want them to execute on the client side. However, surprisingly, if I delete OnClientClick="return Client_ValidatePage()" from btnPay, all client side functions of the validator controls are working fine. Seems like the client side functions of the validator controls are clashing with OnClientClick="return Client_ValidatePage()" of btnPay. How can I get rid of this?
My aspx page:
Code:
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/User.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Payment.aspx.cs" Inherits="Payment" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="Server">
<script type="text/javascript">
// Test if txtPin is not blank, doesn't contain alphanumeric value and contains exactly six digits.
function Client_ValidatePin(source, arguments) {
arguments.IsValid = /^[0-9]{6}$/.test(arguments.Value);
}
// Test if both txtPaymentDate and txtPaymentTime are selected or none of them at all.
function Client_ValidatePaymentDateTime(source, arguments) {
var paymentDate = document.getElementById("<%=txtPaymentDate.ClientID%>").value;
var paymentTime = document.getElementById("<%=txtPaymentTime.ClientID%>").value;
arguments.IsValid = (paymentDate.length == 0 && paymentTime.length == 0) || (paymentDate.length > 0 && paymentTime.length > 0);
}
function Client_ValidatePage() {
// Test if payment date is less than 01/01/1753 12:00:00 AM or greater than 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.
var paymentDate = document.getElementById("<%=txtPaymentDate.ClientID%>").value;
var paymentTime = document.getElementById("<%=txtPaymentTime.ClientID%>").value;
if (paymentDate.length > 0 && paymentTime.length > 0) {
if (paymentDate < "1753-01-01" || paymentDate > "9999-12-31") {
alert('All dates should be between 01/01/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM');
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
</script>

{
divAlert.Attributes["class"] = "alert alert-danger";
divAlert.InnerText = "All dates should be between 01/01/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.";

args.IsValid = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(args.Value, "^[0-9]{6}$");
}
catch (Exception ex)

}
}
protected void btnPay_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsValid && Server_ValidatePage())
{
// Write code for payment.
// If payment is successful...
divAlert.Attributes["class"] = "alert alert-success";
divAlert.InnerText = "Payment completed successfully.";
}
}
}
Any help on this issue is highly appreciated.
