I have an ASPX page where i do have an AJAX TAB CONTROL.

In one of the panels in the tab i have two ASP TEXTBOXes and an ASP BUTTON.

To the ASP TEXTBOX i have attached ASP REQUIREDFIELDVALIDATOR control.

For the button i have set the CAUSESVALIDATION option to TRUE.

Now when i am trying to post the page it is doing nothing, by nothing i mean no event is fired, but when i am setting the CAUSESVALIDATION to false it is posting the page but none of the validation controls are working.

Is there any way to keep the causesvalidation set to true and post the page.

It sounds like the problem is that you have a validation control on a tab that is not visible. The control is firing on invalid input, but you can't see it. This was a known problem with ASP.NET 1.1.

If you are in ASP.NET 2.0 you can try setting the ValidationGroup attribute of the appropriate controls. This isolates the validations into groups so that only certain validators fire based on the control causing the postback. In your case, create a group for each tab so that only the postback controls on the visible tab would trigger validation for those controls on the same tab.

Hi,

The problem is not this, in the tab panels i have form where the user can submit his details. At the end i have a submit button for which i have the attribute CausesValidation = true. But the problem is that until and unless i make this attribute CausesValidation = false the page is not beiong posted back. Rather no event is being fired, even though all the items entered is valid.
