I have a hidden field like this:
<asp:HiddenField ID="showHideFlag" runat="server" />
I am assigning some value to this hidden field in java script as follows:
function controlSearchBar() {
if ($("#MainContent_ProjectListControl_searchBar").is(":hidden")) {
$("#MainContent_ProjectListControl_showHideFlag")[0].value = "showing";
} else {
$("#MainContent_ProjectListControl_showHideFlag")[0].value = "hiding";
}
}
I am trying to read this hidden field in ascx.cs page as follows:
string hdnValue = this.showHideFlag.Value;
But this hdnValue is not getting the value of that hidden field.
Can someone help on this?
Hidden as type="hidden"
$("#MainContent_ProjectListControl_searchBar").attr('type') == 'hidden'
Hidden as display: none
$("#MainContent_ProjectListControl_searchBar").is(":hidden")
Gets the control ID for HTML markup that is generated by ASP.NET.
<asp:Label ID="SelectedSport" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" ClientID="showHideFlag">
javascript
$("#showHideFlag").text("found");
You are saying that you can get the value in javascript So I think the the problem is with the hidden field. try to set value by Client id as follows-
var hd = document.getElementById('<%= showHideFlag.ClientID%>');
hd.value = "hi";
And my another question is in which event you are accessing value? because If you are setting value in javascript and accessing in Page Load event then it will not work because first of all Page load event gets fired and then Javascript function executes.

I have a webform with a checkbox in it. I need to do two things differently based on an environment setting.
Add a class
Add the Text attribute so a label gets created
<% if setting == true) { %>
<asp:CheckBox ID="optionCheckbox" class="option-checkbox radio-checkbox" runat="server" Text="Label Text"/>
<% } else { %>
<asp:CheckBox ID="optionCheckbox" class="option-checkbox" runat="server"/>
<% } %>
The problem with this is the page won't render because the ids are the same, even though only one could ever get rendered. There is a lot of other processing with javascript and such so I don't want different ids for each scenario.
I was able to fix this by keeping only the "base" checkbox code below and then overriding the PreRender event to add the class and set the Text attribute there.
<asp:CheckBox ID="optionCheckbox" class="option-checkbox" runat="server"/>
Code Behind:
CheckBox optionCheckbox = this.optionCheckbox as CheckBox;
if (optionCheckbox != null)
{
optionCheckbox.Text = "Label Text";
optionCheckbox.Attributes.Add("class", "option-checkbox radio-checkbox");
}
I'd still like to know if there is a way to do this in the markup file though.
Sorry about this syntax , I don't use ASPNet webPage.
You can implement it logically..
Firstly , define class and text variable and set value for business..
Finaly set checkbox class and Text value by variable
var class = "option-checkbox";
var text = "";
if(setting == true)
{
class = "option-checkbox radio-checkbox";
text = "Label Text";
}
<asp:CheckBox ID="optionCheckbox" class="setClassProperty" runat="server" Text="SetTextProperty"/>
I have defined a variable in C# as the item selected in a drop down.
string parametername = ddlCarrier.SelectedItem.Text;
I now want to pass this variable in my URL to the next page. How do I do this in the href tag?
<asp:LinkButton href="Table.aspx?parameter=<%parametername%>" ID="btnSubmit" runat="server">Click Here</asp:LinkButton>
Purely Server-Side Approach
Instead of a LinkButton, you might want to consider using a HyperLink or <a> tag as you aren't going to be doing anything with your code-behind:
<asp:HyperLink ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" NavigateUrl="Table.aspx" Text="Navigate"></asp:HyperLink>
Then you can use the NavigateUrl property, which you might want to consider setting within your code-behind :
// This will set up your Navigation URL as expected
btnSubmit.NavigateUrl = String.Format("Table.aspx?parameter={0}",ddlCarrier.SelectedItem.Text);
If you use this approach, you may want to explicitly set that a PostBack occurs when your DropDownList changes so that this value will consistently be correct :
<asp:DropDownList ID="dllCarrier" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" ...>
Client-Side Approach
However, if you are expecting to be able to change this to reflect the current value of your Carrier DropDownList without a PostBack, then you'll likely need to resort to Javascript to populate the value prior to actually navigating :
<!-- Set your base URL within the method and append the selected value when clicked -->
<asp:Button ID="Example" runat="server" OnClientClick="ClientSideNavigate('Table.aspx'); return false;" Text="Navigate"></asp:Button>
<script>
function ClientSideNavigate(url) {
// Get the selected element
var e = document.getElementById('<%= ddlCarrier.ClientID %>');
// Navigate
window.location.href = url + '?parameter=' + e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
}
</script>
Or you could just avoid ASP.NET Controls altogether and just use an <button> tag :
<button onclick="ClientSideNavigate('Table.aspx'); return false;">Navigate</button>
<script>
function ClientSideNavigate(url) {
// Get the selected element
var e = document.getElementById('<%= ddlCarrier.ClientID %>');
// Navigate
window.location.href = url + '?parameter=' + e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
}
</script>
You need to handle TextChanged or SelectedIndexChanged event for ddlCarrier and properly set href property of btnSubmit to include ddlCarrier.Text.
I'm trying to use the following Ajax AutoCompleteExtender:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Width="300" ID="tbxItem" CssClass="NormalUpper" />
<asp:AutoCompleteExtender ID="autoCompleteExtenderItemName" runat="server"
MinimumPrefixLength="1" ServicePath="../Services/AutoCompleteSpecialOrders.asmx"
ServiceMethod="GetItems" CompletionInterval="100"
Enabled="True" TargetControlID="tbxItem" CompletionSetCount="15" UseContextKey="True"
EnableCaching="true" ShowOnlyCurrentWordInCompletionListItem="True"
CompletionListCssClass="dbaCompletionList"
CompletionListHighlightedItemCssClass="AutoExtenderHighlight"
CompletionListItemCssClass="AutoExtenderList" DelimiterCharacters="">
OnClientItemSelected="ItemSelected"
</asp:AutoCompleteExtender>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hiddenItemId" />
We're using Master Pages (asp.net 4.0), User Controls and UpdatePanels. I'm having difficulty getting the OnClientItemSelected="ItemSelected" JavaScript/Jquery function to work. Here is the ScriptManagerProxy:
<asp:ScriptManagerProxy ID="ScriptManagerProxy1" runat="server" >
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Path="../common/script/AutoExtend.js"/>
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManagerProxy>
And here is the contents of AutoExtend.js (JavaScript & Jquery):
//function ItemSelected(sender, eventArgs) {
// var hdnValueId = "<%= hiddenItemId.ClientID %>";
// document.getElementById(hdnValueId).value = eventArgs.get_value();
// alert(hdnValueId.value);
// document.getElementById("tbxCatalogQty").focus();
// This try didn't work for me}
function ItemSelected(sender, e) {
var hdnValueId = $get('<%=hiddenItemId.ClientID %>');
hdnValueId.value = e.get_value();
alert(hdnValueId.value);
document.getElementById("tbxCatalogQty").focus();
} //Neither did this one.
The alert DOES show the correct value from our WebService drop-down-type list! I just can't seem to set the hidden field to this value so I can use it in the code-behind later. It always shows as "" when run in the debugger. Also, the .focus() method doesn't set the focus to the tbxCatalogQty field like I would like. I've also tried this with single-quotes and that didn't change anything either.
In my code behind, I've tried accessing the hidden field as follows without any luck:
//var itemId = Request.Form[hiddenItemId.Value];
var itemId = hiddenItemId.Value;
I've seen a couple of similar posts out there: 12838552 & 21978130. I didn't see where they mentioned anything about using Master Pages and User Controls and inside of an UpdatePanel (not sure that makes any difference, however).
With the help of a friend, he just figured out the solution. First, we did a JavaScript postback, passing in the value like this:
function ItemSelected(sender, e) {
var hdnValueId = $get('<%=hiddenItemId.ClientID %>');
hdnValueId.value = e.get_value();
window.__doPostBack('UpdatePanelOrdersDetails', hdnValueId.value);
}
Then, in the ASP:Panel that contained the AutoCompleteExtender, we added the "Onload="pnlInputCat_Load" parameter.
<asp:Panel ID="pnlInputCat" runat="server" OnLoad="pnlInputCat_Load">
Then, in the code behind, we added the pnlInputCat_Load method to look like this:
protected void pnlInputCat_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var theId = Request["__EVENTARGUMENT"];
if (theId != null && !theId.Equals(string.Empty))
{
Session["ItemCode"] = Request["__EVENTARGUMENT"];
tbxCatalogQty.Focus();
}
}
There certainly might be better ways to make this work, but I now have the ItemCode in a session variable for later access and I could then set focus on the Catalog Qty textbox.
Thanks for anyone who tried to understand/answer the above question.
i have hiddentfield whose value is changing on javascript.
I just wanted to fire serverside event valuechanged event of hiddenfield when its value changed from javascript.
I tried with :
__doPostBack('hfLatitude', 'ValueChanged');
But giving me error :
Microsoft JScript runtime error: '__doPostBack' is undefined
Is there any other alternative for this?
Please help me.
In javascript, changes in value to hidden elements don't automatically fire the "onchange" event. So you have to manually trigger your code that is already executing on postback using "GetPostBackEventReference".
So, with a classic javascript approach, your code should look something like in the example below.
In your aspx/ascx file:
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hID" OnValueChanged="hID_ValueChanged" Value="Old Value" />
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="litMessage"></asp:Literal>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnClientChage" Text="Change hidden value" OnClientClick="ChangeValue(); return false;" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function ChangeValue()
{
document.getElementById("<%=hID.ClientID%>").value = "New Value";
// you have to add the line below, because the last line of the js code at the bottom doesn't work
fValueChanged();
}
function fValueChanged()
{
<%=this.Page.GetPostBackEventReference(hID, "")%>;
}
// the line below doesn't work, this is why you need to manually trigger the fValueChanged methiod
// document.getElementById("<%=hID.ClientID%>").onchange = fValueChanged;
</script>
In your cs file:
protected void hID_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
litMessage.Text = #"Changed to '" + hID.Value + #"'";
}
Quick and Dirty:
Simply put a asp button on form. Set it display:none.
<asp:Button id="xyx" runat="server" style="display:none" OnClick="xyx_Click" />
On its click event call any server side event.
protected void xyx_Click(o,e)
{
//you server side statements
}
To call its from JS use as below:
<script>
function myserverside_call()
{
var o = document.getElementById('<%=xyx.ClientID%>');
o.click();
}
function anyotherjsfunc()
{
//some statements
myserverside_call();
}
</script>
First way is to use HiddenField.ValueChanged Event.
If you want to also watch this varible in Client Side just use this:
$('#hidden_input').change(function() {
alert('value changed');
});
Second way is to assign value to Varible:
$('#hidden_input').val('new_value').trigger('change');
I have a requirement where I have to validate for the empty text of a multiline textbox in aspx. I am using jquery for this purpose.
My aspx page would look like this:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtClarification" ClientIDMode="Static" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="8" Style="width: 780px;"></asp:TextBox>
and in my Jquery function:
var textbox = ('#txtClarification').val();
if (textbox.length == 0) {
//do something
}
But the statement which I retrieve the textbox value throws error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'val'
Is there any difference in retrieving the value from a Multiline textbox?
Don't forget the $:
var textbox = $('#txtClarification').val();
//------------^
if (textbox.length == 0) {
//do something
}
Also I'm not an ASP.NET expert, but you may need to specify ClientID for your selector to work.
