<asp: CompareValidator runat="server" ID="RequiredFieldValidator5"
ControlToValidate="TextBox13"
ValidationExpression="RadioButtonList5.Text == 'No'">
Please Answer Question
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>`
I would like to setup a CompareValidator
for a text box, based upon the response from a RadioButton
.
I have a web page where the user is supposed to answer several questions. If the user answers no to question 5 (RadioButtonList5
Yes/No) then in question 6 they are supposed to enter a date.
I know the ValidationExpression
is incorrect. I just need help figuring out how to set it up properly.
Since user input determines if the compare validator is enabled or not, then you need to use JavaScript/jQuery code, like this:
// This will enable the validator
ValidatorEnable(document.getElementById("RequiredFieldValidator5"), true);
// This will disable the validator
ValidatorEnable(document.getElementById("RequiredFieldValidator5"), false);
So you will need to run the above code in a change handler for the radio button list, like this:
$("#<%=RadioButtonList5.ClientID%> input").change(function() {
if($(this).val() == "Yes") {
// Enable or disable compare validator
}
if($(this).val() == "No") {
// Enable or disable compare validator
}
});
