Custom Validators for Composite Controls

I have created several custom composite controls (containing multiple input fields) and validators for our website at work.

I needed the SetFocusOnError property to work on my custom validators, but it didn't work by default. 

I started to dig through ASP.NET's JavaScript code and found that if my custom composite control was enclosed in a table tag (instead of the default div tag) that the JavaScript would search the table tag for input controls.

The following code will change the default enclosed tag from a div to a table.

public class LengthEditor : CompositeControl
{
protected override HtmlTextWriterTag TagKey
   {
get { return HtmlTextWriterTag.Table; }
   }
}

Safari on Windows

Steve Jobs just announced that Safari 3 has a Public Beta available for the Windows platform. You can grab the beta at Apple’s download website.

The Safari 3 Public Beta claims that it is…
<blockquote cite="http://www.apple.com/safari/">
“The fastest web browser on any platform, Safari loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.

And it executes JavaScript up to 2.8 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.”
</blockquote>

I am interested to see how the population responds to the new Windows Safari 3 browser. I wonder what changes, if any I will need to make to my websites to support Safari 3.
