two forms on one page (one needs validation, the other just a butt

[Guest]

Ok, maybe this is a basic question so please bear with a newbie to .net

One asp.net (VB) page has a form with various textboxes that need
validating. There is a submit button that processes this form.

On the same page, there is a 'log out' button that calls a function to log
the user out.

The problem is that when you click on log out on this page, it tries to
validate the form. How can I stop this?

Any advice would help,
Thanks

there is an attribute for your login button named "CausesValidation"
just set its value to false.

bye and have fun with .net

Thanks itgMan,

I've sorted it now. You are right about the CausesValidation bit, but it
only seemed to work once I made one of the 'forms' into a Web User Control.

I eventually found this link on Google which helped me:

I must say that .net seems far easier than classic asp, especially when
needing to develop apps quickly.

Cheers.
