Hello,

I have created a login page using dotnet. I am using requiredFieldValidator
and noticed that the code works fine in IE but not in Netscape, Opera,
Mozilla, Firefox, etc.

For example if I do not enter anything in the form in IE, then form won't be
submitted but in other browsers it is submitted.

I checked that JavaScript is enabled in Netscape, Opera, Mozilla, Firefox,
etc. and still the form doesn't work in these browsers.

Is there any way I can make this code work in other browsers? I am using
VB.NET for coding and not C#, so please suggest a solution in VB.NET.

Thanks in advance for you help,

Joe

Here is my code,

required.</font></td>
