on blur of asp.net form field, call validator(s) on that one field.

Question

I have a form that has some standard asp.net validators and some custom validators.

I know how to force the whole page to validate.

But how on blur of a form field can i force the validator(s) that are looking at the field fire, not all validations on the page.

I expect I am missing some little trick. :(

Answer 1

Use the function: ValidatorValidate(val)

Answer 2

Well looks like I answered my own question, with some help from George, and the intertubes.

After seeing this post: I looked at the DOM in Firebug and found the array of Validators. then it was a matter of getting the right ones, and calling the ValidatorValidate(validator) method.

   function callMyValidators() {
        // Clean Up Infragistics Ids
        var cleanid = this.id.replace(/^igtxt/i,"");


        for (var i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
            if (Page_Validators[i].controltovalidate === cleanid) {
                ValidatorValidate(Page_Validators[i]);
            }
        }

    }
