i have a form and for a few of the text boxes i have validators on them both required and compare validators and whenever i click my save buttons it triggers the validators correctly and they show hat required field is missing and so on, however if i for example i select a drop down list or anything that causes a post back to the server to do some function probly to filter or set some values. the validators stop showing up on the screen they still work in the sense that when i click save t still does do anything because all the required fields are not filled out but the annoying thing is that at this point it no longer displays the validation summary or error message or anything indicating where on the page is not valid, it works fine once i don't do anything to the page that triggers a postback but once something like that happens it doesn't work until i close the window completely and start over.
has anyone ever encountered this or know of a work around?
