I'd like to cause validation to fire my control validators when the tab header of another tab is clicked. My questions are:

1. How do I accomplish this?

2. All content from all tabs is present in the clients memory. So how do I supress the validators on other tabs from being fired?

Thanks,

pardo

Hi Pardo,

Firstly, you'd attach a javascript to TabContainer's OnClientActiveTabChanged event.

<ajaxToolkit:TabContainer ID="TabContainer1" runat="server" ActiveTabIndex="1" OnClientActiveTabChanged="onTabChanged">

Secondly, you shall validate on onTabChanged function.

            function onTabChanged(sender, args){
                Page_ClientValidate();
            }
