I'm not sure if this is just me being new to validators in ASP or not, but I have a sign up page with multiple required fields that each have a RequiredFieldValidator, as well as a few other validations. If the user doesn't enter the first required field, all my validations fire and all my error messages show up. There has to be a way to make it so only the validation for the text box the user is on show up? If the user is on the first of 5 text boxes let's say, I don't want all the validations for all 5 text boxes pop up after the user fails the first text box for example. On that note, is there anyway to make a validation or a validation summary to show up after clicking a button? I have a validation summary right now but like my validators, it immediately fires if the user fails one validation. I was looking at this example and this is how I want my validation summary to behave, but I can't seem to figure out how they are doing it in their code: http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/showasp.asp?filename=demo_validationsum
