Question

there are 3 validators on an textbox,

May be this can help you.. you can intercept ValidatorValidate method of ASP.Net validation framework and selectively disabled the validator controls you want based on any given validation control result.

<asp:TextBox ID="tbText" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator EnableClientScript="true" ValidationExpression="\d" ID="rang" runat="server" ControlToValidate="tbText" >sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsd</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
<asp:RangeValidator EnableClientScript="true" Type="Date" MinimumValue="10/10/2000" MaximumValue="10/10/2013" runat="server" ID="rang2" ControlToValidate="tbText" >23444444444444</asp:RangeValidator>
<asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" Text="submit"/>



<script language="javascript">
    var oldValidatorValidate = ValidatorValidate;
    function MyValidatorValidate(val, validationGroup, event) {



        //first call the original one
        oldValidatorValidate(val, validationGroup, event);

        //Here you can check val.isvalid - e.g write your logic here, like check for the correct validator etc etc
        //alert(val.id + ":" + val.isvalid);
        if (!val.isvalid) {
            var myVal = document.getElementById('<%=rang2.ClientID %>');
            //ValidatorEnable(myVal, false);
        }





    }
    ValidatorValidate = MyValidatorValidate;
</script>
