Required Field Validator question....

[MikeDamone]

I have a required field validator that is supposed to fire when a button is clicked. It uses the required summary to pop a javascript message box letting the user know that a certain field is required.

It works correctly if the user is patient enough to let the entire page load before clicking the button. However, if the user clicks the button and the page hasn't completely loaded, the box does not popup. Has anyone seen this? Is there a workaround? Can I force the validator and button to load before the rest of the page? Thanks!!

The validators fire before the page is posted back. If you click the button and get errors and the page is posting back, then there is something else going on with the page.
