Ok, so you have a couple of things here. First off, you should probably not put form element in content pages. Typical ASP.NET the form is in master page. You might be making more work for yourself but.. I can understand why you might do this. So your main problem is that when you have content in master page, (the default behavior) the ID fields will get prefixed so that they do not collide with ids from content in another placeholder.
If you view source, "TextBox1" will look something like
<input name="ctl00$MainContent$TextBox1" type="text" value="asdf" id="MainContent_TextBox1" class="validate[required] text-input" />
Your validate is looking for TextBox1 not MainContent_TextBox1.
You have a couple of options. It's important to understand ramifications of each (I'll leave that for you to research).
Option 1:
At the top of your master page (in its declaration) you can put this in your ClientIDMode="Static". ASP.NET will not touch your IDs, if they collide, it's your responsibility.
Option 2:
I don't care for this but have used it on occasion. Get the client ID from asp.net
validate[required,equals[<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>]]
Option 3:
There may be other possibility of putting in a jquery selector that finds id like TextBox1
hope this helps
When .net renders it changes the Form id so instead of using:
jQuery("#form1").validationEngine();
Please use:
jQuery("form").validationEngine();
for view source and get the id of your form and place it there
I got same problem with you and solved this problem.
You can do it easily.
ADD THIS TO TOP OF MASTER PAGE (I only added ClientIDMode="Static")
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="geneticAjans.master.cs" Inherits="geneticAjans_gen" ClientIDMode="Static" %>
ADD THIS TO INSIDE OF $(document).ready(); (You should write your master page form id)
$("#Button1").click(function(){
if ($("#form1").validationEngine('validate') == false)
return false;
});
Now, your JQuery Validation Engine should be work.
