Know if the control causing postback causes validation from Javascript

Hi,

I am making an Asp.Net page that requires validation.
Some of the validations if done by c# will have to be done using custom validations, hence causing Post-back and is not desirable for the project.
So I did that with java-script but now these validations occur even when any control causes post-back.
So is there a way to check if the control that caused submit, is supposed to cause validation, on submit() event of the page(i.e. Java-script).

Please help
Thanks

Example you have button ABC and XYZ and you have Textbox QWE.
You need to specify ValidationGroup.

Let say:

ASP.NET

<asp:textbox id="QWE" runat="server" validationgroup="Q"></asp:TextBox>

<asp:Button id="ABC" runat="server" validationgroup="Q"></asp:Button>
<asp:Button id="XYZ" runat="server"> </asp:Button>

or you can simply turnoff the validation of the XYZ button by setting the attribute to

HTML

CausesValidation='false'

I am aware of this property but even if CausesValidation is set to False the submit event(Javascript) gets fired and this is where i want to know if the Control's CausesValidation is set or not.

how about the validationgroup? because in my sample below when your textbox and your button have same validation group then other buttons will not cause the validation that does not belong to that group.
