problem with validation control

[Rafia]

Hi all
I have put a required validation control on one of my aspx pages. I also
have a server button on the page which the user will click to submit the
data. The problem is when the user do not enter anything on the required
field, it show the error then immediately submits the form and the code in
my server control event handler starts to execute.

Any help will be appreciated

Hi,

does this happen when accidentally clicking enter when focus is in the field
(it is textboxt?)? Note that you should also check Page.IsValid property in
code at the server-side before letting critical code to run. But, if the
problem is that you wouldn't have client script files correctly set up in
the site root, please check it too.

Here is a good article about ASp.NEt validation generally:
