I have a page that I created outside of the portal (so just an .aspx page with the cms resources included.
I've then added the user control to the page using
<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc" TagName="security" Src="~/CMSWebparts/Ceridian/securityCheckForm.ascx" %>
When I submit the page, it submits, but it doesn't check the validators.
an example of one of the validators on the page is
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvEmail" runat="server" ValidationGroup="pnlForm"
ControlToValidate="txtEmail" Display="Dynamic" EnableViewState="false" />
These work when I add this webpart to a page in the cmsdesk portal, but not when added to an external file as I'm doing now.
