Validation messages not displaying

A

ann

I am using a required field validator and a validator summary for a datagrid.
On the update, I check for isvalid against the required - which works fine.
My problem is that when not valid, neither the val.summary message or my *
next to the required field appears. I can see them in design ...
Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
<asp:validationsummary id="valSummary" Width="253px" Height="32px"
Font-Size="Smaller" DisplayMode="List"ShowSummary="True" HeaderText="<b>The
following errors were found:</b>" Runat="server"></asp:validationsummary>

<asp:requiredfieldvalidator id="Requiredfieldvalidator1" Runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtTransDate" ErrorMessage="* Transaction Date must be in
the form of mm/dd/yy"Display="dynamic">*</asp:requiredfieldvalidator>

Hi Ann,

I think you have some text where it isn't allowed. The code below works for
me.
