Yoshita:
The following works:
<asp:ListBox ID="drop" Runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>0</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>4</asp:ListItem>
</asp:ListBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="reqDrop" Runat="server"
ControlToValidate="drop" ErrorMessage="*" />
<asp:button id="btn" Runat="server" />
You'd need to show us some code so we can help you.
HOWEVER. If you are doing this in Firefox (or another browser which isn't
IE), client-side validation isn't going to work. In you button's OnClick
event, you'll need to add
Page.Validate()
If Page.IsValide then
..do your normal stuff here
end if
