jquery validation for specific button onclick

Question

i am using jquery client side validation in asp.net.

the problem i am facing now is that whenever i click any button in a page it causes validation rather than for specific button alone.

how to resolve this .?

thank you

Can you please clarify. What does 'whenever i click any button in a page it causes validation rather than for specific button alone' mean? — karim79

Suppose you have two buttons SubmitButton and CancelButton and you do not want to CancelButton to fire validation plugin, just give CssClass="cancel" for CancelButton

    <asp:Button ID="CancelButton" runat="server" 
            Text="Return to List" 
            CssClass="cancel" />

You want to use event.preventDefault().

http://api.jquery.com/event.preventDefault/

$("button").click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    // do stuff here
});
