Validation is ASP.NET

[jtrueblood]

Hello,

I am using the ASPXSearch control in a web form. In addition, I have ASP.NET Validation controls in the form.

The Validation controls are preventing the ASPXSearch from posting back.

I know most of the "post back" controls in ASP.NET have a CausesValidation property. Is there any thing like this for the ASPXSearch control? If not, does anyone have a workaround?

Thanks,
Jeff

Anyone...? Bueller...?

We are doing some work on .NET post backs for the next major release.

I'll dig out the details and post them.

The V6 ASP.NET Server Control does not currently support postbacks. To create a form, we suggest a javascript submit as described here:

The next major release (V7) will support postbacks. But we don't implement anything for validation, just as there's no validation for the search form on the other scripting platforms (PHP, ASP, JS, CGI). Technically, everything is accepted, and Zoom actually filters out illegal characters in the search query (e.g. if someone types "[pineapple]" it would be treated as "pineapple" without the square brackets).
