Bug in ASP.NET validator (!)

This morning I opened a service call at Microsoft for this weird behaviour of the ASP.NET validator.

I just received a mail where Microsoft confirms this IS a bug.

As soon as I have more information, I will post it here...

Update 08/09: I received a confirmation of Microsoft that it is a bug in Internet Explorer. Unfortunatly, they are not going to release a quickfix. So I guess we'll have to wait for the next Service Pack...

Untill then you can use on of these workarounds:
- Use a ValidationSummary
- Put the validators next to the textboxes
- Set their Display to Static
- Use another browser
- Unplug the mouse of the end users, that way they have to use the TAB-key
- Just ignore it ;-)

  • Please find below solution for one of your problem i.e. Validator controls getting focus. To resolve this issue please do following steps:
    1. Add following in all of your validator controls:
    onmouseup="ChangeFocus('ControltoValidateControlID');"

    Here ControltoValidateControlID same as value given in ControlToValidate Property of your Validator controls.

    2. Add following Javascript function in your ASPX page:
    function ChangeFocus(ControltoValidateControlID)
    {
    document.Form2.getAttribute(ControltoValidateControlID).focus();
    }

    This will sort out your problem and if still you face any problem then let me know.
