asp.net + Custom validator not validating

I am trying to use a customvalidator to validate a DIV form and then close it if there is no validation errors. Below is my code, I can't get my custom validator to work, when I click submit, nothing validates, not sure what's wrong. Please advice. Thanks.

function validateRedemptionDialog(src, args) {

                var rDate = document.getElementById('<%=uitxtRedemptionDate.ClientID%>').value;


                if (rDate == "") {
                    args.IsValid = false;
                    return;
                }
                args.IsValid = true;
            }


function closeRedemptionDialog() {
            $('#dialog_Active_Redemption_confirm').dialog('close');
        }   

<div id="dialog_Active_Redemption_confirm" style="display: none">
                <div class="section_body">
                    <div class="section_body_content">

                        <div class="row">
                            <asp:Label runat="server" ID="uilblRedemptionDate" Text="<%$ Resources:MembersNContactsManagerResources, uigrdhdrTransDate %>"
                                CssClass="label">

The validator will not validate empty text with your current configuration. Set ValidateEmptyText to true if you need it to fire even when the user has entered nothing.

A CustomValidator does not need to have a ControlToValidate. If you need to validate in any case, you should leave that property empty.
