disable requiredfieldvalidator when clicking on submit button

[James Brett]

I have one form on the page but have multiple submit buttons for different
elements. When clicking on a button not associated with the required
elements the validator popup still comes up.

How can I disable requiredfieldvalidator fields when I click on non
associated button?

Cheers
James

James,

That depends. If the button does not have to be associated with any
validators on the page at all then you can set the button's CausesValidation
property to false.

If the button has to trigger some validators but not others then you'll have
to create a javascript that fires when the button is clicked. The javascript
would then have to set each validator's "enabled" attribute to false (in the
client side code) for each validator that shouldn't fire.

Set the CausesValidation attribute for the 'non-associated' Button to false.

How is this done when the button already has an onClick event for the
validator? eg

<input type="submit" name="btnDataset" value="Update Dataset" onclick="if
(typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') Page_ClientValidate(); "
language="javascript" id="btnDataset" class="button" />
