Regular Expression Validator - Server side validation is not working

[CK]

Hello All,

I have a page with a text box. It has a required field validator, and a
regualur expression validator tied to it. A valid email is required. When
clientside is enabled it works great. When it's disabled the server side
validation works for the required field, but the server side doesn't work
for the regEx validator. Any ideas? Is it because two validators are tied to
the same control?

Thanks,
CK

It's not a problem to tie multiple validators to a single control.
How did you disable the requiredfieldvalidator? You *wanted* to
disabled only the client-side validation, but did you disable the
entire validator by mistake? Please show some code!

The validator *should* always work server-side, even if client-side is
enabled.

IE has a Dev Tool Bar. We are disabling client side script through there.
There required field validator still works as expected but the RegExpression
Validator fails to kick in. Any ideas?
