I have a form that contains two options which are selected by a radio button. If Radio Button A is selected, then I want to require an answer to TextBox A and not TextBox B. And vica-versa, if B is selected, A will not be required.

Radio Button A
TextBox A

Radio Button B
TextBox B

Is it possible to turn off the validation controls for TextBox B if TextBox A is selected? One possible solution I see is to write custom validators that check the radio button value and the textbox value, but it would be nice if the validators could be enabled/disabled on the client side (even if only for uplevel browsers).

It is possible to do this. The is a function available on the client
called ValidatorEnable. It takes the validator as the first paramter and
a true or false as the second.

See this article for more details:

Client-Side Validation.
