overriding RequriedFieldValidator on client side?

Question

Is it possible to override RequiredFieldValidator's functionality on client side ? I want to enhance it and use for all controls in page. Please guide.

Answer 1

To do this, you have to create a class that inherits from RequiredFieldValidator an create instances of this custom server control and add to your page. Actually, I think you could loop in all controls and change your modifications, something like this:

foreach(Control control in Page.Controls)
{
   if (control is RequiredFieldValidator)
   {
      RequiredFieldValidator rfv = (RequiredFieldValidator) control;
      // do your customizations for all RequiredFieldValidator
      rfv.ErrorMessage = "...";
      rfv.SetFocusOnError = true;
   }
}
