Unwanted spaces added by Validators

[tshad]

I have the following on one of my Textboxes:

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator
ControlToValidate="email"
Text="Email Required"
runat="server" />
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ControlToValidate="email" Text =
"Invalid Email Address!"
ValidationExpression="\S+@\S+\.\S{2,3}" runat="server" />
<asp:CustomValidator
ControlToValide="email"
OnServerVAlidate="ValidateEmail"
Display="Dynamic"
Text="Email already on File"
runat="server" />

I also have Required validators on 2 Textboxes above this one. If I don't
enter anything, all the error messages line up. If I enter something, but
one that in invalidated, I get a "&nbsp;" where the RequiredValidator is.
This happens no matter what order I do it. If the Validator doesn't print a
message, it prints a space.

Is there some way to stop this? It just makes the page look out of line.

Thanks,

Tom

Have you tried laying out using tables?

They are in a table.

Here is more of a snippet with 3 of the objects:

What I do is use the static display. This way i know how much space they'll
take up. Dynamic display doesn't always work like you think it will.

they'll

I tried changing both to static and I still get the same thing.

If I change the order, it works ok, only the &nbsp; is placed after the
message, instead of before. Here is what gets generated:
************************************************** ******
<td><input name="txtEmail" type="text" size="32" id="txtEmail" />
<span><font color="Red" size="2">You must enter an
email</font></span>

If I do that, the second message will show way over to the right.
