>   {
>     window.document.Form1.txtValid.value = 0;

>     if (window.document.Form1.Text1.value == '')
>       {
>         alert('notify some error');

>         window.document.Form1.Text1.focus();
>         window.document.Form1.Text1.select();
>       }

>     ...

>     window.document.Form1.txtValid.value = 1;
>   }

> On the VB Side:

> Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
> System.EventArgs) Handles Handles MyBase.Load
>   ...

>   btnAccept.Attributes.Add("onClick", "validate()")
> End Sub

> Private Sub btnAccept_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
> System.EventArgs) Handles btnNuevoAceptar.Click
>   If (txtValid.Text = "1") Then
>     'I can store the data
>   End If
> End Sub
