I am having an issue when a page contains multiple ModalPopups each containing a ValidationSummary Control.
Here is the functionality I need:
A user clicks a button and a Modal Popup appears with dynamic content based on the button that was clicked. (This functionality is working. Buttons are wrapped in UpdatePanels and the partial page postback calls .Show() on the ModalPopup)
"Save" button in ModalPopup causes client side validation, then causes a full page postback so the entire ModalPopup disappears. (ModalPopup could disappear another way - the ModalPopup just needs to disappear after a successful save operation)
If errors occur in the codebehind during Save operation, messages are added to the ValidationSummary (contained within the ModalPopup) and the ModalPopup is displayed again.
When the ValidationSummary's are added to the PopupPanel's, the ModalPopups no longer display correctly after a full page postback caused by the "Save" button within the second PopupPanel. (the first panel continues to
function correctly) Both PopupPanels are displayed, and neither is "Popped-Up", they are displayed in-line.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

The two ValidationSummary's are causing an issue. When the second ModalPopup's PostBack button is clicked,
Both ModalPopup's become visible, but neither are "Popped-Up".
