  1. PODefault Button not working with multiple validation groups
    text
    copied!<p>Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. I have an issue in which I was setting a default button for an ASP.NET page on page load from code behind, but now that I have multiple validation groups targeting one control, that is no longer working. Now, when I hit enter while in that control (textbox), validation for both groups are triggered minus the validation summary text.</p> <p>Here is my examplefied code:</p> <p>ASPX</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:Textbox runat="server" ID="validateMe"&gt;&lt;/asp:TextBox&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="firstValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="First check not valid" Text="*" ControlToValidate="validateMe" ValidationGroup="firstGroup"&gt;&lt;/asp:RequiredFieldValidator&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="secondValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Second check not valid" Text="*" ControlToValidate="validateMe" ValidationGroup="secondGroup"&gt;&lt;/asp:RequiredFieldValidator&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:Button runat="server" ID="firstButton" Text="V1" ValidationGroup="firstGroup"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:Button runat="server" ID="secondButton" Text="V2" ValidationGroup="secondGroup"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;asp:ValidationSummary ID="firstSummary" runat="server" ValidationGroup="firstGroup"/&gt; &lt;asp:ValidationSummary ID="secondSummary" runat="server" ValidationGroup="secondGroup"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>C#</p> <pre><code>protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.Form.DefaultButton = firstButton.UniqueID; } </code></pre> <p>If I use this and hit 'Enter' while inside of the textbox without typing anything into it, then neither of the validation summaries will appear but I will have two asterisks next to the textbox (one for each group). If the user presses 'Enter' I would expect a full validation using only the first group which is supposed to be assigned to the DefaultButton (here, 'firstButton'). Is there any way to achieve this functionality and initiate the client-side validation that would have happened had the user clicked 'firstButton' instead?</p> <p>I have also tried wrapping the whole table plus the validation summaries inside of an asp:Panel and setting the DefaultButton there, but I received the same results. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!</p>
