How to use the Validator controls with controls other than TextBox?

Question

I want to use the Validator control to validate a FCKEditor rich text control. Is there a way to do this on either client and/or server side?

And a broader question, is there a way to use the Validator controls for anything other than text boxes?

Answer 1

You can use CustomValidator control to perform custom validation logic. This control actually doesn't even require ControlToValidate to be set.

It is possible to use a CustomValidator control without setting the ControlToValidate property. This is commonly done when you are validating multiple input controls or validating input controls that cannot be used with validation controls, such as the CheckBox control.
