To test this..
1) fill in something in the first textbox, click on "Add Another"
2) fill in something in the second textbox click on "Add Another" again
3) click "create button"
Now you should see the text you entered on the bottom correct?
4) get rid of the text in the second texbox
5) click "create button"
The text of the requiredvalidator shows up as expected.. But now try this...
6) get rid of the text in the first textbox as well....so now you have both empty text boxes
7) click "create button"
See the problem? the requiredvalidator text next to the first textbox did not show up.
The only time it shows up for the first textbox is when it's the ONLY textbox in the repeater. When page load, without entering anythign, just one textbox, click "create button". It'll work.
This only stops working when there are multiple itmes in the repeater.
