Access control elements from customvalidator client script

peter

I have a javascript function that is called on button click event. The problem is that the identifier will not access the control unless i provide the complete path location which resides inside a Listview control.

Path location.ListView1_ctrl5_Label1 Also,the client identifier is not recognised? '<%= Label1.ClientID %>'

function validateUser(sender, args) {

var pr = document.getElementById('Label1').innerText;
var valid = true;

Hi peter,
you can use the findControl method of the ListView control to find the Label1 control. Here is an example of how you can do this:

function validateUser(sender, args) {
  // Find the ListView control
  var listView = document.getElementById('<%= ListView1.ClientID %>');
  
  // Find the Label1 control inside the ListView using the findControl method
  var label = listView.findControl('Label1');
  var pr = label.innerText;
  var valid = true;
  // ...
}
