RequiredFieldVa lidator in action immediately in fresh form

Hi !

I'm using Visual Studio .NET to program a Web application coding in C#.

In my form I use an HtmlSelect control that calls a JavaScript function when
the selected item changes.
This JavaScript function calls the submit() method of the form.

For this HtmlSelect control I have also programmed the ServerChange event,
which is able to dynamically set up the form.

Depending on the item selected, this set-up adds an input field and an
associated RequiredFieldVa lidator.
I want the input field to be empty initially, but, unfortuantely,
the RequiredFieldVa lidator seems to act immediately when the fresh page
comes from the server.

I didn't have this problem as long as I was using a
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Drop DownList instead of the HtmlSelect control,
but I would like to keep the Html control, in order to call my own
JavaScript when the selected item changes.

Is there a way to suppress the above mentioned initial validation when the
page is loaded afresh.

Your kind advice would be appreciated.

Peter

When the page is set to IsPostBack=true , each validator shows its error
message when the IsValid property is false. Try this: after the page is
validated (you are probably calling Page.Validate() ), set the
RequiredFieldVa lidator.IsValid property to true.

I'm having a really strange problem with and HtmlSelect server control (listbox) and a RequiredFieldValidator that I am trying to use to make sure that someone has items in the listbox.

This is bad (mmm-kay) as when the user refreshes the page it would add...
