Validation controls work differently on remote server

[Peter Afonin]

Hello:

I have several aspx pages with multiple validation controls. On my PC they
work as they should - if validation fails, the error messages are displayed
and the page is not submitted.

When I upload my web site to the remote server (which is my web hosting
provider's server) they work differently. The error messages are still
displayed if validation fails, however, it doesn't prevent the page from
being submitted.

Why is this happening? Can I do something about it, or I should ask my
hosting provider to modify something?

I would appreciate your advice.

Thank you,

It's possibly that the remote server doesn't have the aspnet_client
javascript includes installed. If they aren't available, I believe the
client side validation will not function, and you will only get the server
side validation (which validates only after a postback) You should get a
javascript error though, so not 100% sure. You can install the client side
includes by running aspnet_regiis -c.

You were correct. I asked my provider to follow your instructions and to
install javascript includes, they did it and now it all works fine. Thank
you!
