Will ASP.NET Validator classes (e.g. CompareValidator) support clientside
validation for non IE (Opera and Netscape) browsers in the next version?

Roger, just an aside, but there is a way to get client-side validation
support in ASP.NET 1.x. Check out Paul Glavich's free set of custom
DomValidator controls:

Microsoft has only announced two enhancements to validation in ASP.NET 2.0:
validation groups and setting focus to the field with the error as an
option.

Here's another solution. My product "Professional Validation And More"
(http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx) is a replacement to Microsoft's
validators (much like the DomValidators) that supports IE, IE/Mac,
Netscape/Mozilla, Opera 7, and Apple Safari. But its also quite different in
that it overcomes numerous limitations of Microsofts validators (one of
which is the browser issue) and greatly expands what you can do with
validation. The DomValidators attempts to mimic Microsoft's, carrying over
all of its limitations. For a list of the limitations I've addressed, use
this link: http://www.peterblum.com/vam/valmain.aspx.
