BookWiz same Con re-hashed

As some of you may know I have been a great professor that the BookWiz is nothing more than an absolute Con, but after some comments supporting this bunch of thieves appeared on my blog, I thought I would for a laugh,  I thought I  would re-apply for the program, as my Alter Ego Mr. Dirk Diggler, I set up an email account for mr Diggler and off I went to the Bookwiz website , filled out the same application as I did before, and I was shocked to see that in a matter of seconds my Site was up and running in a matter of seconds of applying. 

I then waited a couple of days then I thought I would go check Dirk's email account, and as I had presumed the same emails that I had recieved 8 months ago, we there in Dirks account, the same news that the VP was looking to recruit some suckers for a promotion in my country, how there were limited seats available and that I could a chosen one to get one to one mentoring, to be the next Net Millionaire.

The guys haven't changed the con. They are obviously sticking to the tried and tested formula, a pulling the suckers. It obviously works for them, but I will still be doing whatever I can to stop it working. I have had a couple of so called "pro" book wiz comments left on my blog, but to be honest I don't believe them, and I believe this some weak attempt by bookwiz to get some pro rallying on my blog, until somebody can actually give me some credible proof that it works I will not champion thier cause. They left some weak sob story I have reprinted here

i too am a single mother of two and i invested in this bookwiz program and have made that back and some i really don't know how the end results can be so opposite of one another what went wrong with your sites this is horrible to hear it be called a scam when it worked for me this in itself is unfair to do come on now people lets be the honest people we claim to be and have some mannors just because we did not succeed all in the same way we cant bash something we all don't get the same results from

As one can make out this is nothing more than some weak attempt at a story to pull at the heart strings, a single of two, what bollox. I have deleted these comments as it is just complete drivel. but I thought I would just aknowledge that I had recieved them, as I personally believe this is a weak attempt by the company themselves to get some pro bookwiz comments here.

Validation without postback

I was looking for a way to use the asp.net Validation controls without a postback. I knew this could be done because after all ASP.net is nothing but a container for everything javascript and  the validation controls are themselves only javascript. I had also read somewhere that the CausesValidation property of the command buttons is only an "interface" for a javascript validation method but I couldn't remember exactly what method that was. It took me a couple of hours of playing and fiddling but I eventually uncovered the method.

Thats cute honey but wheres the punch?

Some people may be questioning the value of doing this without a post back, well the answer is simple, if you would like to validate data but do not want to incur the extra overhead of posting back to the server, for instance in my case I wanted to validate that I had the correct dates in a textbox and that some fields where populated before I initiated a report, which was nothing more than opening a new browser window which is then redirected to my report page.  I didn't necessarily want to do a post back as strictly speaking the server did not need the information.

So anyway without any further ado this is what I found

An Example place a couple of Text boxes on a Webform , place validation controls on and and assign them to the textboxes as you normally would. then place an html button i.e < 'INPUT onclick="return DoSomeValidation();" type=button value=Report'>

(not an ASP.net button) on the form. write a script similar to the following and place in the Html view of your codethis script o

funtion DoSomeValidation()

{

           if (Page_ClientValidate() == true)

            {

                      alert('I feel validated');

              }

}
