If you would like to help me QA my registration script I'd appreciate some help. The page is link removed.
I'm pretty much finished, need to tweak a couple of things, but would like to see if people catch any possible problems.
None of the info collected will be ever used. The db will be destroyed after testing is done.
Thanks,
Steve D. |

| one thing I noticed. I chose to register 10 dancers, but only entered info for 1 person. It didn't prompt me about not having entered the other dancer's names. Might want to have some sort of validation to make sure if someone chooses 10 dancers, that they enter 10 names. |

I just checked and it looks as though I do have validators on those controls... When I just went to it and specified 10 dancers and filled in only 1 and hit next it put red * next to all the required fields and wouldn't let me continue. Is this what you saw and found another way around it?

steve, I can repro - 3 dancers fill in dets for main contact and 3rd dancer - next takes me to sext screen with blank middle dancer name
edit: even if i get rid of text for 3rd dancer, get to next screen with 2 blanks for names
maybe firefox isn't respecting the validator client-side code?
can you make the app validate both client AND server-side? |

Just for clarity you may want to put something like "Fields Marked * are required fields" at the top of the page as some user may not know what the * are |

| Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can choose whether the validators run client-side only or client and server-side. ASP.NET has a lot of downstream-capable compoinents, designed to work x-platform, so give that a try :) |

| Actually the standard .Net validators are quite limited, so I just purchased a bet set of validators and will install them and let you know when that's been fixed. Thanks for all the help so far. |

k - speak tomorrow :)
If you have to roll back to the inbuilt ones, they do client and server-side validation, would save you this problem :)
(btw in what way are they too limiting? they take regex, should cover most bases?) |

Apparently the ms controls only handle client side for IE and none of the other browsers...
OK I think I have the validation issue fixed. Let me know if you see any other glaring errors... I need to go live in the next week to please my wife... (This is our event's registration)
Thanks!!! |

OK - so the fields are mandatory, but I don't get the friendly errors (your email address is of the wrong format, please complete all fields, etc) - the 'next' button just won't press. I guess it is one way of working, but not very 'touchy-feely' ;-) Re the .NET validators - the point with them is that even if they don't client-side validate, they can still server-side validate, and can show friendly error messages, only doing the red-star thingy on missed fields! You don't need to do extra code to cope with the other browsers, and although they only validate client-side for ie, they have the same effect for all browsers (ie just saves the server a roundtrip)
Other quick question though - for the strictly comps page - what is the deal with the checkboxes and textboxes? should I check a checkbox then fill in the textbox beside it? What happens if I check the box without typing in the textbox? How about the other way around? You may like to simplify or explain this page, or you will probably find mismatched checkbox and textbox entries, and I suspect this may affect your billing/invoicing? How about losing the checkboxes and just checking for blanks/non-blanks in the textboxes?
Anyway, that's enough from me - just want to say that the whole wizard approach, the layout, colours, speed of the site, everything looks great - I hope you have an excellent event !

| Make sure you are checking for Page.IsValid when submitting the form in .NET, that'll sort non IE browsers |
