---

Sets or retrieves a value indicating whether validation is performed when the HtmlButton control is clicked.

Inline	<button causesvalidation [ = true | false ] ... >
Script	HtmlButton.CausesValidation [ = true | false ]

This property can only be used programmatically; it cannot be set when declaring the control.

This property accepts or returns only a boolean value: true if validation is performed when the HtmlButton control is clicked; otherwise, false. The default value is true.

By default, page validation is performed when an HtmlButton control is clicked. Page validation determines whether the input controls associated with a validation control on the page all pass the validation rules specified by the validation control.

You can specify or determine whether validation is performed on both the client and the server when an HtmlButton control is clicked by using the CausesValidation property. To prevent validation from being performed, set the CausesValidation property to false.

This property is commonly used to prevent page validation from occurring when a Cancel or Reset button is clicked.
