Control the position of a CustomValidator

[Mr. X.]

Hello.

How can I control the position of customValidator .

I have code like this (ASP.NET)
<asp:CustomVali dator dir = "rtl" CHARSET=WINDOWS-1255"
id = "email_err"
ControlToValida te="a_email"
OnServerValidat e="checkEmail "
Text="..."
ErrorMessage=". .."
runat="server" />

in CSS I have declared :

#email_err
{
position: absolute;
top:290px;
left:230px;
width:220px;
visibility:visi ble;
font-size:16pt;
font-weight:bold;
color:red;
}

But, I see that the customValidator 's position is not at the position of
CSS.

I want a sample for that, please.

Thanks :)

The client id of the custom validator is most likely not "email_err" .
The ids of server controls are determined not only by their id, but by
all of their parent's ids. "View Source" on your page to see the
actual id. However, a better solution is to just use a css class
instead of id. Try this:

I have code like this (ASP.NET)
<asp:CustomVali dator dir = "rtl" CHARSET=WINDOWS-1255"
id = "email_err"
ControlToValida te="a_email"
OnServerValidat e="checkEmail "
Text="..."
ErrorMessage=". .."
CssClass="email _err"
runat="server" />

in CSS I have declared :

..email_err
{
position: absolute;
top:290px;
left:230px;
width:220px;
visibility:visi ble;
font-size:16pt;
font-weight:bold;
color:red;

}
