CompareValidator not firing

I have a page that has gone through a lot of editing. It has many text
box and validator controls, and one compare validator just isn't working.
I have the control to validate set, and control to compare set, and the
page just behaves like the validator isn't there.
Can anyone give me any ideas on what I need to do to make this work? It
used to work and stopped, and I've even deleted and recreated both the
text control and the validator using both the same and new IDs but with
no luck. Help!

Hi,

Maybe your "sumbit" controls are set to >> CausesValidation = False

Good thought, but all the other validators on the page fire (plus I
double-checked).
Any other ideas? It's also got Enabled=True BTW.

A CompareValidator will only fire is something is entered into the TextBox.
If you also require a value to be entered add a RequiredFieldValidator.
