Anybody successfully get the InitialValue working?

<asp:TextBox id="myCtrl" runat="server" Text="" CausesValidation=true />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="reqd1" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="myCtrl" InitialValue="Please Enter"> Nothing
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

The initial value dosn't show up. Anybody?

The InitialValue isn't meant to "show up". It's used to compare the initial value of the text box so it knows what to compare against.

If the text box still has Please Enter, then the validator control will be invalid.

So, add "Please Enter" as the Text property of the TextBox and it'll work.
