validation control interfering?

[Lerp]

Hi all,

I have reduced my panelled page for simplified viewing below. In it I have
3 panels that I would to display/hide depending on the button pressed. It
seemed very straight forward to begin with, but my page is acting the way it
should. When I go to click the first button on the pnlAddBooking panel it
won't show me the pnlClientSearch panel and I am wondering if it because of
my validation control. What am I missing? It's gotta be something
simple..man.

Cheers, Lerp

<script language="vb" runat="server">

Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)

IF NOT Page.IsPostBack THEN
pnlAddBooking.Visible = true
pnlClientSearch.Visible = false
pnlError.Visible = false
END IF

End Sub



'SUB FOR BUTTONS
Sub buttonClick(Sender As Object, e As
system.Web.UI.WebControls.CommandEventArgs)
IF e.CommandName = "csearch" THEN
pnlAddBooking.Visible = false
pnlError.Visible = false

pnlError.Visible = false
pnlClientSearch.Visible = false
pnlAddBooking.Visible = true
ELSE
pnlAddBooking.Visible = false
pnlClientSearch.Visible = false
pnlError.Visible = true
END IF
End Sub

Oops , sorry I forgot about the CausesValidation="false" property of the
button class
