Stop client side validation for DataList cancel button

[moondaddy]

I have a datalist that makes use of the edit template. In this template I
also have client side validation controls for required fields. My problem
is that when I click on the cancel button it won't do a postback to cancel
the update when the form's not valid. How can I bypass the validation for
the cancel button?

Set CauseValidation property for that button to false.
