Required field in another Panel is causing problems on ASP.NET Panel - asp.net

i have the following code
<asp:Panel ID="searchPanel" DefaultButton="searchButton" runat="server">
<asp:TextBox ID="searchBox" runat="server" value=" Search..."></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="searchButton" runat="server" Style="display: none" OnClick="searchInput" />
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="loginPanel" DefaultButton="submitButton" runat="server">
<asp:TextBox ID="username" runat="server" required="required"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="password" required="required"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="submitButton" runat="server" Text="Log in" OnClick="login" />
</asp:Panel>
whenever i press 'enter' key when searchBox is focused, in the other panel fields are highlighted and says "Please fill the field".
How can I solve this?

I believe you are using HTML 5 "required" attribute. This will cause validation when you try to do a postback.
You can use a form specific for search control and use "novalidate" attribute in the form element.
Or
You can use validation groups to achieve this.

solved the issue by using validation group
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1"
ControlToValidate="username"
ValidationGroup="emailValidationGroup"
runat="Server">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
ValidationGroup="emailValidationGroup" //goes to button
also don't forget to add
<appSettings>
<add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="None" />
</appSettings>
to webconfig

How to make validator's message appear nearby another control?

I have a validator with a bound text field (it's set via ControlToValidate). How can I make the validator's error message appear nearby another control (a label above this text field)?
Just put the validator control nearby the control where you want to show the message i.e. wherever you want to show the message just put the validator control there.
In the following example I am showing validation message near some other control not near the text box.
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="lblNameRequired" runat="server" Text="*Name :"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtNameRequired" runat="server" ValidationGroup="Validation"></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblGenderRequired" runat="server" Text="*Gender :"></asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlGenderRequired" runat="server" ValidationGroup="Validation">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True" Value="-1">--Select--</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="0">Male</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">Female</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidatorGender" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddlGenderRequired"
Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Gender is Required" Operator="NotEqual" ValidationGroup="Validation"
ValueToCompare="-1"></asp:CompareValidator>
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblValidation" runat="server" Text="Fields marked with * are required"></asp:Label>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidatorName" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtNameRequired"
Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Name is Required" ValidationGroup="Validation"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="btnValidate" runat="server" Text="Validate Input" ValidationGroup="Validation" />
<br />
</form>
Hope this helps you.

ValidationGroup Not working with Custom Asp.NET control

I have a custom ASP.NET control that was created by inheriting from WebControls.ImageButton. In my markup I have the following
<td>
<CustomControlLibrary:CustomIcon ID="icnSave" CausesValidation="true" OnClick="DoSomething"
runat="server" Enabled="true" IconUse="Add" AutoSkin="true" SupportsEvents="true" ValidationGroup="ValidationGroupA" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbSave" OnClick="DoSomething" CausesValidation="true"
runat="server" ValidationGroup="ValidationGroupA">SAVE</asp:LinkButton>
</td>
When I click the "SAVE" link, the validation works as expected, however when I click on the CustomIcon, the validation does not work, and the DoSomething wired to the OnClick fires off.
Is there anything special that needs to be added to the custom controls to get ValidationGroups to work? Note: The CustomIcon control itself does not have any special validation that it does/
Sorry i don't know this line .
<CustomControlLibrary:CustomIcon ID="icnSave" CausesValidation="true" OnClick="DoSomething"
runat="server" Enabled="true" IconUse="Add" AutoSkin="true" SupportsEvents="true" ValidationGroup="ValidationGroupA" />
If you want to image button ,please try this sample
<asp:textbox id="tb1" runat=Server />
<asp:requiredfieldvalidator id="ReqField1" controltovalidate="tb1"
validationgroup="valGroup1" errormessage="Required" runat=Server />
<asp:ImageButton id="Button2" causesvalidation=true
validationgroup="valGroup2" ImageUrl="img.gif" runat=Server />

Button Click on Enter in asp.net

I have several panels in my page,and each panel has a submit and clearall buttons.
I am trying to set focus of enter to my submit button.
I have an image button in my logo,and everytime user hits enter,its downloading file on imageclick.
Can someone suggest how do i set focus of enter to my submit button.Any ideas?
<asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server" Width="100%" ForeColor="Black" DefaultButton="btnSubmit">
<telerik:RadButton ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" TabIndex="1" OnClick="OnSubmitClick" CausesValidation="true" />
<telerik:RadButton ID="btnclearall" runat="server" OnClick="OnClearAllClick" CausesValidation="false" />
</asp:Panel>
try defaultfocus attribute in <form> tag ,
<form id="form1" runat="server" defaultfocus="btnSubmit" >
Have you tried the UseSubmitBehavior attribute?
<telerik:RadButton ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" TabIndex="1" OnClick="OnSubmitClick" CausesValidation="true" UseSubmitBehavior="true" />
Set the other buttons to false. Technically you shouldn't have to set UseSubmitBehavior to true since it is default but setting all others to false might help.

html5 required is not allowing button click action to fireup

I have an input page where i want to create some required fields and some aren't.
That means that at the first part of the form, you can select the date by pressing a button to show a calender to select the desired date, adding users (by pressing a button) and then you add the required text and finally a submit button.
Right now, when I put the required attribute to the input tag, the first two buttons don't work. They don't fire up and it writes that first I need to insert the required items.
How can I remove the connection between those specific buttons and the required inputs?
Thanks, Arkadi.
Code:
<h3> Create New Project</h3>
Users Added: <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"
ReadOnly="True"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Label ID="lblAdded" runat="server" Text="Label" >User Was Already Added</asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="lblNotFound" runat="server" Text="Label" >User Was Not Found</asp:Label>
<br />
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"

Perimiters<input ID="txtPerimiters" runat="server" required="required" />
Comments <textarea id="txtComments" runat="server"></textarea>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button2_Click" />
I found what I wanted, so to all those who will see this:
I just needed to change the type of the button from submit to command, that means adding the attribute UseSubmitBehavior to false.
Thanks for the Answers, this site is great!
The OnClick events run at the server, but the required attrib is preventing the code from being submitted. If you want to run client side (ie javascript) code, then you will need to use the OnClientClick event instead.

Grouping controls under a single form element

Consider this snippet of code...
<form runat="server">
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBoxOne" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="SubmitOne" OnClick="ButtonOne_Click" />
<hr />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBoxTwo" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="SubmitTwo" OnClick="ButtonTwo_Click" />
</form>
I want to group these two sets of controls.
When the user presses ENTER, having filled out TextBoxOne; the ButtonOne_Click event fires. And when the user has typed something into TextBoxTwo and presses enter; the ButtonTwo_Click event gets fired.
The way you would normally do this, is to have form elements surround each of the groups. But this is not possible in ASP.NET. And short of doing some "has-focus"-logic in JavaScript, I'm all out of ideas.
You can use an <asp:Panel runat=server DefaultButton="SubmitOne"> around the pair.
<form runat="server">
<asp:Panel runat="server" DefaultButton="SubmitOne">
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBoxOne" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="SubmitOne" OnClick="ButtonOne_Click" />
</asp:Panel>
<hr />
<asp:Panel runat="server" DefaultButton="SubmitTwo">
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBoxTwo" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="SubmitTwo" OnClick="ButtonTwo_Click" />
</asp:Panel>
</form>
