ASP NET FCKeditor and RequiredFieldValidator

I tried fckeditor(for ASP NET) and it works ok , but when I use RequiredFieldValidator control and fckeditor not work together, I want users fill FCKeditor before submit, but RequiredFieldValidator control not notice if FCKeditor is empty and submit, also I've tried customvalidator control but the results is the same, any ideas? I like FCKeditor is really good and very configurable, I don't want to change with another editor

RE: ASP NET FCKeditor and RequiredFieldValidator

This is their answer from the Wiki site, which is pretty weak. I am assuming they are hopefully going to fix this sometime soon.

With ASP.Net, I need to submit twice when using the RequiredFieldValidator in a FCKeditor instance
FCKeditor will not work properly with the Required Field Validator when the "EnableClientScript" property of the validator is set to "true" (default). Due to a limitation in the default validation system, you must set it to "false".

If you want to do client side validation, you must use a Custom Validator instead and provide the appropriate validation function, using the FCKeditor JavaScript API.
