I think the hardest thing for classic asp developers to get into their 
heads is this round trip idea introduced with asp.net (it was for me 
anyway).  We are no longer constrained to the old 2 step post/reply 
paradigm and now have this one step, round-trip paradigm.  One step can be 
translated to events like onclick.

I know I know, you guys are saying what's the point.  First of all, don't 
think of your buttons as submit buttons, think of them as buttons that can 
be wired to an onclick event.  Now within the onclick for the button to 
submit the data for form "section1", disable the validation controls for 
form "section2."  The only requirement for this is that EnableClientScript 
must be set to false so that the events have a chance to fire before the 
validation is done.

Hope this helps.
