Unable to change visibility of a div in asp.net C#

I have a div that displays loading symbol. I am setting visibility on change of a dropdown box. I want to set its visibility to false in C# after the SelectedIndexChanged method is complete.
Here is the div tag :
<div runat="server" clientidmode="Static" id="loadingImage" class="loadingImage" >
<img class="loadingImg" src="../Images/ajax-loader.gif" />
</div>
Here is the jQuery function :
$(document).ready(function () {
//$('#loadingImage').hide();
var modal = document.getElementById('loadingImage');
modal.style.display = "none";
$("#selectSegment").change(function () {
var modal = document.getElementById('loadingImage');
modal.style.display = "block";
});
});
and this is how i am trying to set the visibility in C#
protected void selectSegment_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ckBLBusinessUnits.Visible = true;
loadingImage.Style["display"] = "none";
}
I tried various ways in C# like set visibility to false etc but nothing worked. Kindly help.

Change this:
loadingImage.Style["display"] = "none";
To this:
loadingImage.Style.Add("display", "none");

You can use hide and show methods to perform that action.
<div runat="server" clientidmode="Static" id="loadingImage" class="loadingImage">
<img class="loadingImg" src="loading.gif" />
</div>
<asp:DropDownList ID="selectSegment" ClientIDMode="Static"
runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="0">none</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">display</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
JS
$(document).ready(function () {
var modal = document.getElementById('loadingImage');
modal.style.display = "none";
$("#selectSegment").change(function () {
if (this.value === "1") {
$("#loadingImage").show();
} else {
$("#loadingImage").hide();
}
});
});

The div tag was outside of the updatepanel, moving the div inside of the updatepanel resolved the issue.

SAP UI5 with ASP: Repeater Control

Does anyone know how to use an sap ui5 control with the asp:repeater control. Everytime I try to put a button, it only shows up in the first iteration of the repeater. And not in the rest of the iterations
<asp:Repeater ID="NewsFeedID" runat="server" >
<ItemTemplate>
<script type="text/javascript">
var buttonlink = CommentsPage + "?news=" + '<%# Eval("NewsFeedID") %>';
var AddComment = new sap.ui.commons.Button({
text: "Add Comment",
icon: AddCommentIcon,
lite: true,
press: function () { window.location = buttonlink; }
}).placeAt("Comments");
</script>
<div id="Comments"></div>
</td>
</tr>
When I use this code it only shows up for the first iteration of the asp:repeater but I want it to show up for all iterations. Does it have something to do with the div id=Comments? Need help please

Your Repeater creates multiple <div> elements with the same id, which causes conflicts.
One way to fix the problem is to add a runat="server" attribute to the <div>, making it a server-side control so that ASP.NET generates a unique ID for each instance:
<div runat="server" id="Comments"></div>
Then pass the dynamically generated ID to the placeAt function:
}).placeAt("<%# Container.FindControl("Comments").ClientID %>");

You can rename every instance with the index of repeater item:
<script type="text/javascript">
var buttonlink = CommentsPage + "?news=" + '<%# Eval("NewsFeedID") %>';
var AddComment = new sap.ui.commons.Button({
text: "Add Comment",
icon: AddCommentIcon,
lite: true,
press: function () { window.location = buttonlink; }
}).placeAt("<%# "Comments"+ Container.ItemIndex+1 %>");
</script>
<div id="<%# "Comments"+ Container.ItemIndex+1 %>"></div>

JavaScript - Disabling Textbox upon Change of Drop Down List Index

I have the following code which suppoesedly disables or enables a textbox depending on the value in a drop down list.
Now this is how I am making a reference to this code from the drop down lists:
Unfortunately, the code is generating an exception. I believe that I am using the wrong event handler, that is, OnSelectedIndexChanged. How can I remedy the situation please?

1) replace OnSelectedIndexChanged with onchange
and
2) replace
var DropDown_Total = document.getElementById("DropDown_Total")
with
var DropDown_Total = document.getElementById("<%= DropDown_Total.ClientID %>")
for all getElementById
3) replace (DropDown_Date.options[DropDown_Date.selectedIndex].value
with
(DropDown_Date.options[DropDown_Date.selectedIndex].text for both dropdown
try this it's working
<script type="text/javascript">
function DisableEnable() {
var DropDown_Total = document.getElementById("<%= DropDown_Total.ClientID %>")
var Textbox_Total = document.getElementById("<%= Textbox_Total.ClientID %>")
var DropDown_Date = document.getElementById("<%= DropDown_Date.ClientID %>")
var Textbox_Date = document.getElementById("<%= Textbox_Date.ClientID %>")
if (DropDown_Total.options[DropDown_Total.selectedIndex].text == "Any Amount") {
Textbox_Total.disabled = true;
}
else {
Textbox_Total.disabled = false;
}
if (DropDown_Date.options[DropDown_Date.selectedIndex].text == "Any Date") {
Textbox_Date.disabled = true;
}
else {
Textbox_Date.disabled = false;
}
}
</script>
html
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="Textbox_Total" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="Textbox_Date" />
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDown_Total" runat="server" onchange="DisableEnable();">
<asp:ListItem>Any Amount</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Exact Amount</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Below Amount</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Above Amount</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDown_Date" runat="server" onchange="DisableEnable();">
<asp:ListItem>Any Date</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Exact Date</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Before</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>After</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

Use onchange event which will work for javascript function calling. OnSelectedIndexChanged is server side event.

just replace OnSelectedIndexChanged with onchange because onchange is handled by js. OnSelectedIndexChanged is handled by code behind.

Tutorial: how to disable/enable textbox using DropDownList in Javascript
In this function we pass dropdownlist id and textbox id as parameter in js function
<script type="text/javascript">
function DisableEnableTxtbox(DropDown, txtbox) {
if (DropDown.options[DropDown.selectedIndex].text == "free") {
txtbox.disabled = true;
}
else {
txtbox.disabled = false;
}
}
</script>
Now add the following code:
<td align="center" class="line">
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl_MonP1" runat="server" CssClass="ppup2" onchange="DisableEnableTxtbox(this,txt_MonP1);"></asp:DropDownList>
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_MonP1" runat="server" CssClass="ppup" placeholder="Subject"></asp:TextBox>
</td>

Check all CheckBoxes in GridView

I have a GridView in ASP.NET/C# with a CheckBoxField, a BoundField and 2 ButtonFields. All 4 of them has a header to make clear where the column stands for. At the Page_Load event I set the ВataЫource of the GridView to my filled DataTable.
I want to make it easier to use for the user, and want to make a checkbox in the header. When that checkbox is checked by the user, all CheckBoxes should be checked in the GridView. I have set the HeaderText of the CheckBoxField to <input type='checkbox' />, and it shows a checkbox in the header now.
Now I want to add a function to that checkbox, that when it's checked, all CheckBoxes will be checked en vice versa. I tried to do it with jQuery, but it didn't work because I can't find a way to give all the CheckBoxes in the GridView the same ID or NAME.
Is there a event that occurs when I check the HTML based checkbox within the header? If yes, which event?
If no, how can i trigger a event when I check that checkbox, and change the GridView from my code-behind.
And if none of that is possible, how can i do it on another way, with javascript, jQuery or maybe with a ASP.net control.
I hope you can help me with this, but please don't expect i'm a code guru. I'm a intern at a company where the need a system, with this functionality.
Update:
Thank you everyone for helping me out. What is the easiest way to get the DataSource back into the DataTable, because i need to know which rows were selected and which were not?

Using jQuery, you get all the check boxes inside the GridView, and then for each one you change the status as you like. You call this javascript function from onclick of a link or a button, or what ever you like.
function CheckAll()
{
var updateButtons = jQuery('#<%=gvGridViewId.ClientID%> input[type=checkbox]');
updateButtons.each( function() {
// use this line to change the status if check to uncheck and vice versa
// or make it as you like with similar function
jQuery(this).attr("checked", !this.checked);
});
}

try this code according to you
in grid view
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="headerchkbox" runat="server" CssClass="chkheader" />
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBoxAssign" runat="server" CssClass="chkitems" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
java script
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).bind('load', function () {
var headerChk = $(".chkheader input");
var itemChk = $(".chkitems input");
headerChk.bind("click", function () { itemChk.each(function () { this.checked = headerChk[0].checked; })
});
itemChk.bind("click", function () { if ($(this).checked == false) headerChk[0].checked = false; });
});
</script>

Here is a sample I have put together for you.
ASPX
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var allCheckBoxSelector = '#<%=GridView1.ClientID%> input[id*="chkAll"]:checkbox';
var checkBoxSelector = '#<%=GridView1.ClientID%> input[id*="chkSelected"]:checkbox';
function ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded() {
var totalCheckboxes = $(checkBoxSelector),
checkedCheckboxes = totalCheckboxes.filter(":checked"),
noCheckboxesAreChecked = (checkedCheckboxes.length === 0),
allCheckboxesAreChecked = (totalCheckboxes.length === checkedCheckboxes.length);
$(allCheckBoxSelector).attr('checked', allCheckboxesAreChecked);
}
$(document).ready(function () {
$(allCheckBoxSelector).live('click', function () {
$(checkBoxSelector).attr('checked', $(this).is(':checked'));
ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded();
});
$(checkBoxSelector).live('click', ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded);
ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkAll" runat="server" />
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkSelected" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
List<string> lstObjects = new List<string> { "aaa", "bbb" };
GridView1.DataSource = lstObjects;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
}
If you are using the latest version of jQuery (1.7)
Use the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
var allCheckBoxSelector = '#<%=GridView1.ClientID%> input[id*="chkAll"]:checkbox';
var checkBoxSelector = '#<%=GridView1.ClientID%> input[id*="chkSelected"]:checkbox';
function ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded() {
var totalCheckboxes = $(checkBoxSelector),
checkedCheckboxes = totalCheckboxes.filter(":checked"),
noCheckboxesAreChecked = (checkedCheckboxes.length === 0),
allCheckboxesAreChecked = (totalCheckboxes.length === checkedCheckboxes.length);
$(allCheckBoxSelector).attr('checked', allCheckboxesAreChecked);
}
$(document).ready(function () {
$(allCheckBoxSelector).click(function () {
$(checkBoxSelector).attr('checked', $(this).is(':checked'));
ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded();
});
$(checkBoxSelector).click(ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded);
ToggleCheckUncheckAllOptionAsNeeded();
});
</script>

Accessing ASP HiddenField in javascript

I have been searching through here and google for a few days now, trying to figure out why I cannot get the value of a hiddenfield variable in javascript. When accessed, the value is returned as undefined.
I have an ASP HiddenField inside an UpdatePanel which is part of a custom user control in a .aspx web page (standard issue).
In my user control, I need to get the .Value of the HiddenField (hdnServer) in javascript after setting it in C#. But for some reason the following is not getting the correct value.
The MessageBox in the C# code returns the correct value (the code here has test values), but when accessed in javascript is undefined.
userControl.ascx:
//this function is called when the timer created in document.ready() elapses
//returns the correct hdnServer value in the check.
var checkHdn = function () {
var temp = document.getElementById("<%=hdnServer.ClientID%>").value;
temp = temp.toString();
if (temp != "") {
$('#LoadingViewer').hide();
clearInterval(checkSrv);
//enable start button
$('#startBtn').attr("Enabled", "true");
}
};
function RdpConnect() {
//serverName = undefined here. should be ip address when set in c#
var serverName = document.getElementById("<%= hdnServer.ClientID %>").value;
alert(serverName);
if (serverName != "") {
MsRdpClient.Server = serverName;
}
};
userControl.ascx.cs code-behind:
public partial class userControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
System.Timers.Timer timer;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer = new System.Timers.Timer(5000);
timer.Start();
}
protected void testOnTick(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
hdnServer.Value = "test value";
startBtn.Enabled = true;
timer.Enabled = false;
}
}
Here is the asp for HiddenField just in case: userControl.ascx:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Always">
<Triggers>
<!--trigger not used -->
<!-- <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Timer1" EventName="Tick" />-->
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnServer" runat="server" />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Text="Loading, please wait." CssClass="loading" runat="server"
Font-Size="XX-Large" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Thank you for any advice in advance!

You need to set ClientIDMode if you want to make it simple:
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" Id="hidServer"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert($("#hidServer").val());
</script>
Or, use the ClientID property if you don't set ClientIDMode:
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" Id="hidServer"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert($("<%= hidServer.ClientID %>").val());
</script>

User controls have always been a strange issue for referencing using js and then master pages to go along with it.
For the hidden field do this:
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnServer" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" />
in the js, do this:
var serverName = document.getElementById('hdnServer').value;

Try this:
var temp = $('#mytestcontrol_hdnServer').val();

you need to use ' not "
like:
var serverName = document.getElementById('<%= hdnServer.ClientID %>').value;
be careful don't use ". You have only use '

You can do this:
var temp = $('#hdnServer').val();
Instead of :
var temp = document.getElementById("<%=hdnServer.ClientID%>").value;
Also change this:
var serverName = document.getElementById("<%= hdnServer.ClientID %>").value;
To this:
var serverName = $('#hdnServer').val();
