I have three groups of controls (dropdown, textbox, button). I want to validate the groups separately, and I am having issues with the button only validating the dropdown/textbox it’s associated with. can this be done with only validation rules, or will I need JavaScript?
Hi
As you have found, when you trigger validation, the whole form is validated, and there is no way around this.
Easy Solution:
One way to achieve validation on one group would be to fake it.
What I mean by this is to use a label control styled to look like a warning that appears if the field is not completed as required. You would also need to disable any submit button so that the user cannot continue until the field/group is completed correctly.
Harder Solution:
You can use JavaScript to validate selected fields on the click of a button. Just be careful not to use the “submit” functionality, as this will do a full form validation.
