It's not possible to validate a HTML control using RequiredFieldValidator. If you want to validate your HTML control client side only then you need to use JavaScript.

RequiredFieldValidator is used only for server controls.

Hi, you can validate your html text box with javascript:

HTML

<input name="tel" id="tel" type="text" size="20" maxlength="200" style="width: 200px;"  önblur="checkTelRequired(this);" /><label>*</label>
<label id="telRequired" style="display: none;">Required</label>

JavaScript

function checkRequired(whatYouTyped) {
     var txtTel = whatYouTyped.value;
     var telRequired = document.getElementById("telRequired");
     if (txtTel == "") {
         telRequired.style.display = "";
         return false;
     }
     else {
         telRequired.style.display = "none";
     }
     return true;
}

CLIENT SIDE VALIDATION:

XML

<label for="fname">First Name *</label>
 <input required type="text" name="fname" id="fname">

USE JQUERY/JAVASCRIPT FOR VALIDATIONS
RequiredFieldValidator IS FOR SERVER SIDE VALIDATIONS.
WITH OUT RUN@SERVER YOU CANNOT DO THAT
