Using ASP.NET AJAX PageMethods and Validators

I have a basic CRUD form that uses PageMethods to update the user details, however the Validators don't fire off, I think I need to manually initialize the validators and check whether the validation has passed in my javascript save method. Any ideas on how to do this?

• what are you using for development? VS 2008 supposedly has better JS debugging, haven't tried it yet.

  For Ajax you can use the Sys.Debug obj

• If you use Firefox, you can use the FireBug plugin. It has great javascript debugging support.

• Ok so I finally solved this: You need to call Page_ClientValidate() in your Save javascript method and If it returns true continue with the save, the Page_ClientValidate() initiates the client side validators, See code below:

   function Save()
   {
    var clientValidationPassed =Page_ClientValidate();
    if(clientValidationPassed)
    {
     //Save Data
     PageMethods.SaveUser(UserName,Role,SaveCustomerRequestComplete, RequestError);
     $find('editPopupExtender').hide();
    }
    else
    {
     //Do Nothing as CLient Validation messages are now displayed
    }
    return false;
   }
