OnClick not being called when there are validation errors

[fadi]

Do you happen to have smartNavigation set to true by any chance? if so, turn
it off and try it.

I do indeed have smartNavigation on and you were absolutely right! Turning
it off made the page behave properly, how did you know?

So what exactly was happening? And is there anyway I can get
smartNavigation and these validator controls to play nice together? Yeah, I
know, I'm a picky guy ...

Thanks for the info though!

I know because we ran into that problem on a project. What happens is that
smartNavigation creates an IFRAME spanning the page and loads the page
inside it. Looks like there is a bug where javascript and Response.Redirect
may not function right at times after postbacks due to the IFRAME problem.
Not sure what is a good workaround for it, I only use smartNavigation now
for modal popup windows.
