I have a web form with several validation controls on it. When the submit button is clicked, the validators fire as expected. However, I have another button on the form (to fill city and state info from a ZIP code) and when it is clicked, all the validators fire and don't allow the button's click event to fire.
Can I have validators fire only when a specific button is clicked?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Well, I answered my own question. If you're interested, here's what I found out.
1. I should set the button's CausesValidation property to False
2. I should check to make sure the forecolor of a textbox doesn't match the backcolor.
#1 prevents validators from firing
#2 effectively hides the text and makes the programmer feel like a dumba$$ when he figures this out.
