  How can I get a regularexpressionValidator to not take up space in compatibility mode?

  Nov 27, 2012 10:01 PM|LINK

  In regular mode in IE, having a regular expression validator's display set to dynamic, it doesn't show unless it is triggered for invalid data. But in compatibility mode it creates a couple of blank spaces where it is being hidden.  How can I get it to hide completely and only show when it is triggered for invalid data?

  Hi,

  I am a little confused about your purpose. I have tried to reproduce your issue as follows:

  <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
          <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ValidationExpression="^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$"
              ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" Display="Dynamic"
              runat="server" ErrorMessage="please enter correct email address"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
          <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

  When I enter catherine@163.com, it will works well under regular mode and compatibility mode in IE. When I add some black spaces before it, the validation will not fail under two modes in IE. Please test.

  If I misunderstood you meaning, please correct me.

  Best wishes,
