Hi
We have an urgent issue with the WebDataGrids in IE 8 (version 8.0.6001.18702) on XP. We are using IG controls 13.1.20131.2107 with .NET 4.0
It occurs on pages which have a validator on one/more fields of a WebDataGrid but does not happen consistently. If we simply swap between two pages using our menu it will happen on one of the pages after a while - sometimes the first time we swap, other times it takes 3 or 4 clicks between the pages.
The error occurs on the last line of this function from ScriptResource.axd file and happens because control.Validators is null.
function ValidatorHookupControl(control, val) { if (typeof(control.tagName) != "string") { return; } if (control.tagName != "INPUT" && control.tagName != "TEXTAREA" && control.tagName != "SELECT") { var i; for (i = 0; i < control.childNodes.length; i++) { ValidatorHookupControl(control.childNodes[i], val); } return; } else { if (typeof(control.Validators) == "undefined") { control.Validators = new Array; var eventType; if (control.type == "radio") { eventType = "onclick"; } else { eventType = "onchange"; if (typeof(val.focusOnError) == "string" && val.focusOnError == "t") { ValidatorHookupEvent(control, "onblur", "ValidatedControlOnBlur(event); "); } } ValidatorHookupEvent(control, eventType, "ValidatorOnChange(event); "); if (Page_TextTypes.test(control.type)) { ValidatorHookupEvent(control, "onkeypress", "event = event || window.event; if (!ValidatedTextBoxOnKeyPress(event)) { event.cancelBubble = true; if (event.stopPropagation) event.stopPropagation(); return false; } "); } } control.Validators[control.Validators.length] = val; }}
NOTES:
There is an "IF" block above the line which has the problem checking if the object is undefined - if (typeof(control.Validators) == "undefined") should this be also checking whether control.Validators == null??
Are we able to edit this function ourselves somehow to add this to the IF statement to see if it fixes the problem?
Any help much appreciated

Hello Marcus,
Thank you for your post.
So far I am unable to replicate the described behavior, however please note that the javascript exception mentioned is thrown from ASP.NET's clitnside validation scripts, not the WebDataGrid scripts. Therefore it may be helpful to try and redefine the ValidatorHookupControl in order to incorporate the null check mentioned. This can be done by placing the new definition for the function just before the closing of the form or body tags on the page.
Hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
