RequiredFieldValidator And ReSet the PAGE

[olivia919]

I have a data entry form with a RequiredFieldValidator. The problem I am having is when I click CANCEL button to set the form the orginal state without putting a value in the required field. The error msg for the requiredfieldvalidator keep showing without letting me proceed with the code I write in cancel_click event.
Any ideas. Thank you for your help!!!!

That may or not be a good idea depending on what the poster does in their cancel event. For example, they may not want to remove all of the values that the user types in other controls (which the reset button would clear).

The reset button will also not work if a post back occurs. Once that happens, the values remain.
