Turning off Request.Form validation on inherited button control

Question

Is it possible to turn off the Request.Form validation on a per control basis? The problem is that IE 6 and IE 7 puts the content of the <button> tag into the name attribute, thus resulting in html code in the attribute which makes asp.net server shout out loud.

Notice, this only happens in IE 6 and 7 because of their erroneous interpretation of HTML 4.

Answer 1

How about you style your button with CSS instead of doing it inline with non-semantic markup? That will solve the problem and make for better separation of concerns between structure and presentation.

Answer 2

If you're talking about the HttpRequestValidationException thrown when form controls contain potential XSS exploits then take a look at my answer to a similar question . I provide the code for a class module to intercept a postback before the validation event occurs and modify the form data.

I suspect however that the problem is not a bug in IE but possibly some invalid HTML or Javascript causing you trouble.

Answer 3

您可以始终在按钮中将CausesValidation属性设置为False：

CausesValidation="false"
