From: Dave Weeden on 2 Jul 2008 18:06 Hi, I seem to have found a bug in the regular expression validator under firefox 2.0.0.15 when I use saved form field values. Specifically I have an email address validator for a text box that uses the expression below. ^\s*([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.)*[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+@([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}\s*$ When I first enter an email address such as a(a)b.com everything works as expected. On subsequent visits to the form, when I type the 'a' character the text box spawns a drop down within which I can select a(a)b.com using the arrow keys and confirm the selection using the enter key. At that point my red "invalid email" address of the validator comes up though I can actually submit the form no problem as the data entered should in fact pass validation and does in fact do so during submission. The message should not be coming up at all. Also, strangely enough when I select that saved form value using the mouse the eror message does not come up. Could anyone shed any light on this issue? Thanks, Dave
From: Dave Weeden on 2 Jul 2008 18:27 I tried adding a CustomValidator to probe what's happening by observing the value of arguments.Value in the client javascript handler. This showed the following: 1) Under firefox, the page attempts to valid the partially typed in value when a saved value is selected via the enter key. i.e. it's trying to valiate the 'a' and not the entire 'a(a)b.com' as expected 2) Validation is not attempted when the saved form field is selected with the mouse (or the keyboard under IE) > Hi, > > I seem to have found a bug in the regular expression validator under firefox > 2.0.0.15 when I use saved form field values.

From: Steven Cheng [MSFT] on 3 Jul 2008 05:30 Hi Dave, I think your analysis on the behavior is reasonable. The validation code should have coded the validation rule differently for enter key and mouse selection cases (for the autocomplete feature in browser). for this behavior, I would suggest you post it to the visual studio connect site (or if any existing issue there, you can also vote on it). Thus, the dev team can also hear more on this: http://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/default.aspx?SiteID=210 Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.
