Hi, I'm trying to implement the requiredfieldvalidator asp.net control in sharepoint designer. I have dragged the control to the page and associated the control with the field in the tag properties editor by going to the controltovalidate property. I save and test the page.

The field is blank yet does not show the validation alert. I type some text in the field and then delete it and then move focus to a difference control. At that point the validation is triggered.

Does anyone know a better way implement this type of control based validation or why the control is not being triggered when there is no data on page load?
