Solution 1

Try adding the ValidationGroup attribute to your TextArea control:

... something like this:

ASP.NET

<textarea cols="80" id="editor1" name="editor1" rows="10"  runat="server" validationgroup="A" clientidmode="Static" style="width: 900px;"></textarea>

You could also replace your textarea html control with an aspnet textbox, specifiying the multiline textmode.

Something like:
<asp:TextBox id="editor1" TextMode="multiline" runat="server" cols="80" rows="10" clientidmode="Static" ValidationGroup="A" style="width: 900px;" />

... if this doesn't help, then there must be something else on your page that causing the issue.

TextMode property is not there because its CKEDITOR

Does it make any difference if you add EnableClientScript="False" to the RequiredFieldValidator ?

... this seems to provide a workaround to the issue.

When i am providing initial value=0 its not validating .. its allowing button to save

Abid Shk · Accepted Answer · 2014-02-04T22:52:00

suppose initial value is 0 assign this value to ur textbox at design time or load time when user change this value to 10 and again insert 0 then it will work

its better u use javascript

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
       function valid() {
           var v_type = document.getElementById("<%=Voucher_Type.ClientID%>").value;
          
           //var sales = document.getElementById("editor1").value;
          if (v_type == "--Select--" )
           {
               alert("fill all information");
               return false;
           }
           else {
              
                   return true;              

           }
         
       }
   </script>

<asp:button id="btnSave" runat="server" text="Save" onclick="btnSave_Click" onclientclick="return valid();" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
