ASP.NET validator never validates as true - asp.net

The code below has always worked, but now somehow I can't submit the form anymore even though I provide both username and password. I get no errors in backend or the Chrome Developer Console. I tried enabling/disabling all validators and found that if I add Enabled="false" to validator UserNameRequired, the form does submit. But obviously I want to have this requiredfieldvalidator enabled.
Why is this happening?
You can also see it live here (fill in a random email address/password): http://www.zorgbeurs.nl/login

update
I also tried adding the ValidationExpression of revUsername expression directly in the code [-+.'\w]+#[-.\w]+\.[-.\w]+, but that does not help.

I can see the required validators working in your live site without making a postback.
Regarding the email's regular expression validator, it seems that your expression is not working properly. So, I suggest you to change your regular expression, try this one:
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator Enabled="true" ControlToValidate="UserName"
ValidationGroup="loginuser" ErrorMessage="Ongeldig emailadres"
ValidationExpression="\w+([-+.']\w+)*#\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*"
ID="revUsername" runat="server" Display="Dynamic" />
Also, remember to enable it again in order to make it work both on client and server side.
Hope it can help you!

Creating Custom Web Control

I'm trying to create a custom web control, but I have limited experience with Web Forms. How do I access the text passed in between the open an close tags? The control should work like the this.
Usage
<asp:YesOrNoQuestion>Are you above the age of 18 ? </asp:YerOrNoQuestion>
Control
<tr id="trQ6CA" runat="server" visible="false">
<td>
<asp:Label ForeColor="Black" ID="QuestionLabel" runat="server">
// Question Goes Here
</asp:Label>
</td>
<td>
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="buttonCollection" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
<asp:ListItem Value="Y">Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="N">No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
</td>
<td>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ControlToValidate="buttonCollection" ID="Requiredfieldvalidator" InitialValue="" runat="server" Text="*" ValidationGroup="vgApplication">
*
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>
</tr>
Code I'm Replacing
<tr id="trQ6CA" runat="server" visible="false">
<td valign="top" align="left">
<asp:Label ID="Label10" runat="server" ForeColor="Black">
<b>DOES THE PROPOSED INSURED:</b>
Have a comprehensive health benefits from an insurance policy, an HMO plan, or employer health benefit plan? <br />
If No, persons without such comprehensive coverage are not eligible for this insurance policy.
</asp:Label>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rbtQ6S1" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
<asp:ListItem Value="Y">Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="N">No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="Requiredfieldvalidator65" runat="server" Text="*" ControlToValidate="rbtQ6S1" InitialValue="" ValidationGroup="vgApplication">

</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>
</tr>
You can choose prefix and tag when you register the control:

asp:CreateUserWizard - how to display minimum password requirement

It's not displaying the min requirement until the 'CreateUser' is clicked. How do I make it to validate the password requirement beforehand and display a message when the password field loses focus.
With the default markup of CreateUserWizard control as below, you cannot have such functionality.
<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server">
<WizardSteps>
<asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep1" runat="server">
</asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
<asp:CompleteWizardStep ID="CompleteWizardStep1" runat="server">
</asp:CompleteWizardStep>
</WizardSteps>
</asp:CreateUserWizard>
Therefore, the idea is to customize the CreateUserWizard control as per your needs. Its better to use Validators so that you can display the messages beforehand. They key is to create a <ContentTemplate> element within the <asp:CreateUserWizardStep> element.
<asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Sign Up to get started</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="UserName">
User Name:</asp:Label></td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="UserName" ErrorMessage="User Name is required."
ToolTip="User Name is required."
ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="PasswordLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="Password">
Password:</asp:Label></td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="Password" runat="server" TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password"
ErrorMessage="Password is required." ToolTip="Password is required."
ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>
</tr>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:CreateUserWizardStep>

Putting the cursor in text box after validating in ASP.NET

I have a basic ASP.NET website which has a register page with the user name, password and email as text boxes. Only one of them, the email, has a validation which is the default email validation from ASP.NET.
After the validation, I want the cursor to be in the email textbox if the validation fails.
Currently the message is displayed but the cursor is not on the page.
<tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" runat="server" CssClass="cpTextBox" TextMode="Password"
TabIndex="7" ToolTip="Password must be at least six characters in length"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvPassword" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtPassword"
ErrorMessage="Please enter password" Display="None">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="revPassword" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtPassword"
ErrorMessage="Password must be at least six characters in length" ValidationExpression=".{6,50}"
Display="None">*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtTitle" runat="server" CssClass="cpTextBox" TabIndex="11"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lblVerifyPassword" runat="server" CssClass="cpLabel" Text="Verify password"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" ForeColor="Red" Text="*"></asp:Label>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lblPhone" runat="server" CssClass="cpLabel" Text="Phone"></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtVerifyPassword" runat="server" CssClass="cpTextBox" TextMode="Password"
TabIndex="8"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvConfirmPassword" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtVerifyPassword"
ErrorMessage="Please verify the password" Display="None">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:CompareValidator ID="cvVerifyPassword" runat="server" ControlToCompare="txtPassword"
ControlToValidate="txtVerifyPassword" ErrorMessage="Please verify the password"
Display="None">*</asp:CompareValidator>
</td>
Can someone guide me on how to do this?
Regards.
For the validator control please set SetFocusOnError="true"

ValidationSummary doesn't show up

I have a few validation controls with a validationsummary.
The client side validations shows up, after the user leaves the textbox for the validation.
The server side validation shows never up.
The Validationsummary shows never up.

Can't tell for sure from looking at the code you've posted, but are you checking the Page's IsValid property anywhere? E.g. before running any other methods?
if (Page.IsValid){
//Do additional processing
//register user etc.
}
this check will force execution of all validation controls on the page and should then trigger the display of your validation errors.
EDIT:
You need to set the ValidationGroup to 'Register' in your markup that defines the linkRegister control
`<asp:LinkButton CausesValidation="true" ID="linkRegister" CssClass="linkWhite" runat="server" OnClick="linkRegister_Click" ValidationGroup="Register">Jetzt Registrieren</asp:LinkButton>`
Also, your RegularExpressionValidator for password needs to have its ValidationExpression property set in the markup:
`<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ValidationGroup="Register"
CssClass="validator" ControlToValidate="txtRegisterPW1"
ID="valPasswordLenght" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Das Passwort
muss mindestens 6 Zeichen haben." Validationexpression="[\w+\d+]{6,}"
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>`

ASP.NET: RegularExpressionValidator Doesn't reCheck the input

i have a RegularExpressionValidator to validate an Email input that i have,
it works perfectly, if the input matches the Regular-expression,
However,if i enter a mistaken email it would show an error msg, if i fix the email in the input , it doesnt recheck it, the error msg stays not allowing me to click the Registeration button-or more like it gets clicked, but no event gets fired-
EDIT: added the ASPX code
< table width="100%">< tr><td>Username:</td>
<td>
<input runat="server" id="txtUsername" type="text" size="30" />
</td>
<td>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator4" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtUsername" ErrorMessage="*"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator2" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Username has to be atleast between 4-8 "
ValidationExpression="[A-Z]{4-8}"
ControlToValidate="txtUsername"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Email:</td><td>
<input runat="server" id="txtemail" type="text" size="30" /></td>

ValidationExpression="^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+#([A-Za-z0-9-]+\.)+([A-Za-z0-9]{2,4}|museum)$">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
</td>

<tr>
<td>
</td>

<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Register"
ID="btnSubmit" Width="118px" onclick="btnSubmit_Click" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Are you checking for Page.IsValid in your btnSubmit_Click method?
Also your validation expression for username doesn't look correct, use a comma between your min and max lengths.
ValidationExpression="[A-Z]{4-8}"
ValidationExpression="[A-Z]{4,8}"
