Remarks

By default, page validation is performed when an HtmlInputImage 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 HtmlInputImage 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 in the event handler for the ServerClick event to prevent page validation from occurring when a Cancel or Reset button is clicked.
