problem while returning to a home page

Question

Hi,

In a webform I have four textboxes and two dropdownlists and for all these I have used requiredfieldValidator. I have two buttons "Add" and "Return". The Add button adds the values of textboxes and ddlist  to the database. The Return button takes control back to the home page. My problem is when all the textboxes and dropdownlist fields are empty if I click Return button then it wont take back to the home page as all fields are empty, but if the textboxes and ddlist are filled with some values then it moves back to the home page. how to overcome this?

Thanks

Hi Sachi,

Set (Give Same Group Name in)ValidationGroup Propertie of that 4 Text boxes and And "Add" Button and Validation Controls

 . so that Those 4 TextBox and "Add" button Will act as  Isolated Validations so it will not Prevent you to Go

back By return Button :)
