title: Which controls triggered the Page.IsValid = false?
body: <p>Two things:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is it possible to set the Page.IsValid (Is_Valid) property through Jquery so that I dont have to use the aspx validators? It is my understanding that the IsValid property is read-only?</p></li>
  <li><p>When the validators are in, is it possible to find out, through Jquery (ofcourse) which controls caused the validation to fail? An example would be a form with loads of text boxes: user clicks the button and I get my results in a validation summary. All fine and dandy. But I also want to let the users know which controls they are by changing the respective textbox background to lets say, red.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Now the hack for that would be that I call my own JS function that checks all the textboxes for validation (again) and then change the css to invalid ones to show red. But I would have thought there surely must be a way to identity which controls failed the validation?</p>
  
  <p>Any insight?</p>
