Validation in ajax

[raam]

Hi,
I have ajax tab container with 6 tabs in it.
I need to validate each tab contents separately and the validtaion summary must be separate for each tab.
i cannot do that only one summary is being accesed.
i also tried with validationgroup.
Finlly i want each tab content to be validated and the content should accept the inputs.If any errors the message must display in summary separately.

Here are 2 of my tabs.Dont feel bore pls let me know the procedure.
Thanks in advance.For understanding i have send complete form.

I got it.

add validation summaries for different tabs.
if 6 tabs 6 validations summaries.
Next add attribute "validationgroup" for required field validators and textbox,dropdown controls etc including button which fires validations.

Then each tab gets validated seperately.

Thank you.
