Web User Control with CustomValidation and Javascript

[Craig Buchanan]

I have a Web User Control (.ascx file) that I need to valid using a
CustomValidation control. Moreover, I would like use client and server
validation, if possible. I have the logic for the server-side validation
working correctly. I also have the have the client-side validation working
once the control is embedded in a page. I would like to move the validation
from the aspx page to the ascx page, but I'm concerned that the
GetElementById() method will have an issue.

A couple of questions:
* can I build Javascript coding into the ascx page in a way that it will
work correctly however the control is embedded?
* can I switch between server and client validation programmatically,
meaning disable on mechanism and enable another?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
