I am working on ASP.NET Web Forms application. I have a pretty big form with a lot of fields so I want to take as much advantage as possible from the built-in server controls in Web Forms. Also, because the form is too big I logically have separated it into three parts using jQuery UI 1-8-24 and an accordion menu. I also use a DatePicker on this page so my page looks like this:
<script>
$(function () {
$("#accordion").accordion();
$(".inpt-date").datepicker();
});
window.history.pushState('obj', '', 'myPage.aspx');
</script>
So it's working fine, I've implmeneted a lot of logic on this page and everything was working fine util the moment I stated to add RequiredFieldValidator For example :
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEnforcementCase" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="RequiredFieldValidator2"
ControlToValidate="txtEnforcementCase"
Display="Static"
Text="*"
ErrorMessage="This field is required!"
runat="server"/>
I think nothing out of the ordinary since I'm using examples from MSDN and the validations are pretty simple so I the standard implementation works for me.
However when I add the RequiredFieldValidator I lose all the styling from the jQuery UI and I get this error in the console :
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function
I tried to comment and uncomment the JScode on the page. If I use only:
window.history.pushState('obj', '', 'myPage.aspx');
Everything's working fine, but no matter if I use both - the date picker and the accordion, or only one of them I lose the jQuery UI styling and get the error pointing to the row where I have $("#accordion").accordion(); or $(".inpt-date").datepicker(); depending on which one is commented and which not. I'm pretty sure there's some problem when I try to use jQuery UI and RequiredFieldValidator together. While searching for solution I found a partial one which was just for the datepicker which doesn't work for me because I use other jQuery UI methods and also, if I find partial solutions for the accordion and the datepicker later on I may want to use something else then I'll have to find workaround for that too, so.. is there a way to make a client side validation in Windows Forms using the build-in controls together with jQuery UI?
