mandatory text fields

[Srinivas]

Hi,

If a textbox is being validated using a required field validator then we
need to key in some text before sumbmitting the form. But if we key in a
space character this gets validated to true and the form gets submitted. I
want to make sure that the user enters some text and submit the form, and
not just enter a space character and submitting the form.

Any ideas how to achieve this.

Thanks,

Srinivas

Re: mandatory text fields

Srinivas:
You could certainly achieve what you are looking for with a mix of a
RequiredFieldVa lidator as well as a RegularExpressi onValidator...I 'd give
you a regular expression, but what's your meaning of "some text" ??
Numbers? Letters? Punctuation? Anything non space?
