If you have a search for JQuery Validation, you'll come up with a ton of results (bit like this one http://sympmarc.com/2009/05/13/javascript-validation-on-editform-aspx-part-one/). You can edit the form with Designer and apply the JQuery client side. What have you tried so far?Steven Andrews | SharePoint Professional | http://www.twitter.com/backpackerd00d | https://baron72.wordpress.com/

Hi, In addition to steven reply, you can also create custom event receiver to validate your column. You can use ItemAdding and ItemUpdating events for same. Here is the reference link for event handler; http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/Programming-Event-Handling-in-Windows-SharePoint-Services.id-306329.html http://madsharepoint.blogspot.com/2009/07/basic-event-handling-in-sharepoint.html Hope it could helpCheers, Hemendra-MCTS "Yesterday is just a memory,Tomorrow we may never see"

Hi , Can we not write a simple java script when if selected value ==select then not save else save sudhanshu sharma

Obviously we can try with script. I have posted a simple JS for list pages in below thread. you can modify this script: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointcustomization/thread/94af7d77-b2b6-4197-87c9-bf527bf46551 Here is one more thread for your reference: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sharepointworkflow/thread/0ad7fc3c-97a1-464e-ae89-c3133462dda8/ Let us know if it worksCheers, Hemendra-MCTS "Yesterday is just a memory,Tomorrow we may never see"

Hi Hemendra, i did this through java script but actually i want to do this by readymade ASP.Net validation control and i didnt get for drop down which validator should i choose as best of my memory(in asp.net) if we do validation for drop down need to do some select change event and so......... But once again for time being ...java script will serve my purpose:):) thanks :)sudhanshu sharma

>which validator should i choose as best of my memory(in asp.net) You can choose custom validator for dropdown, where you can set up the event and properties (get and set). There are lots of article available for validation. Here is some reference links for you http://www.netomatix.com/development/DropDownCustomValidator.aspx http://yasserzaid.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/validate-dropdownlist-using-custom-validator/ http://forums.asp.net/t/1065529.aspx Hope it could helpCheers, Hemendra-MCTS "Yesterday is just a memory,Tomorrow we may never see"
