I have a custom validator in each sections (rendered as tabs). when you are in one tab the other tab is hidden. so when i continue further to submit i have to disable client validation for the hidden section. So i call ValidatorEnable(, false);

but it errors out as val.Style is undefined. How to fix this..

I have gone through the following question already Enable/disable RequiredValidator on client-side / CustomValidator not firing it didnot help me.

Immediate help plssss

Is it possible that you are passing just the ID of the validator to the ValidatorEnable() method? You need to pass the element itself, then it works ok:

ValidatorEnable(document.getElementById('requiredfieldvalidatorID'), false);

Check if the element "val" exists .
