I have not undertaken this particular task, though I have called the
validation scripts by hand on several occasions. So, thinking about the
problem, there are a couple of different approaches that I can think of.
First, you could step through the client side validation scripts, and see
what methods are doing the tasks that you want. You can then build your own
script that calls into these scripts where you want to use their
functionality, but then handles the display when you want to have control.
Alternately, you know that there is an option to have these messages display
on the page instead of popping up a message box. You could use
Attributes.Add to attach an onchange event handler when the script updates
these controls, and then use the text in here to create your own popup
window.
