"When it comes to prevalidating your inputs, Javascript is significantly more efficient than trips back to the server."
I agreed to that several posts ago. It is also much more efficient to use the built-in .Net Validators, which, by default, write client side Javascript, thus still saving the trip to the server, while also saving me from having to write the JavaScript myself.

You've got to be kidding...
Javascript? Why are you coding in .Net?
I realize it is too late for the original poster, but put this code in your PageLoad() event :
