Why do `JQuery` tabs lose styling after a button click

I am using JQuery tabs in my Asp.Net/C# app.
I am modelling my approach after this article. The JQuery is outside of my
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1"...></asp:UpdatePanel>
wrapper while the html components are inside.
Whenever I click a button, my tabs completely lose their CSS styling and I see all of the tab contents, rather than just the
<div id="current-tab">
for that tab.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
My guess is that its related to post-back or the update panel somehow, but I am not sure why the added C# code under page_load doesn't keep the selected tab current on post-back when the button is fired.

You are right, it has something to do with a Partial PostBack. So in order for jquery functions to work again you need to rebind it after the Partial PostBack is done.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
buildTabs();
});
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();
prm.add_endRequest(function () {
buildTabs();
});
function buildTabs() {
var tabs = $("#tabs").tabs({
activate: function (e, i) {
selected_tab = i.index;
}
});
selected_tab = $("[id$=selected_tab]").val() != "" ? parseInt($("[id$=selected_tab]").val()) : 0;
tabs.tabs('select', selected_tab);
$("form").submit(function () {
$("[id$=selected_tab]").val(selected_tab);
});
}
</script>
But the selected tab is a different story. You also need to store the active tab somewhere and re-apply it after the partial PostBack is done. See this answer for details.
But basically you need to store the active tab ID in SessionStorage, cookie or Hiddden input and re-apply it in prm.add_endRequest(function () {

Is it possible to get value from Summernote editor in asp.net web forms?

I'm using summernote editor, and I want to retrieve its content in code behind.
I tried to use the following ways , but it returns empty(null)
1-
default.aspx
<div class="summernote" id="txtTest" runat="server"></div>
Code behind:
string content= txtTest.InnerText;
2-
default.aspx
<div class="summernote" id="txtTest" ></div>
Code behind:
string name = Request.Form["txtTest"];
Any suggestions?

Here is My code Working Perfectly
<div class="form-group">
<asp:Label ID="lblSummernote" runat="server" Text="Image" AssociatedControlID="txtSummernote" CssClass="control-label col-md-3"></asp:Label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSummernote" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="2"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Label ID="lblSum" runat="server" Text="Summernote"></asp:Label>
</div>
</div>
JavaScript
<script src="/Content/SummerNote/summernote.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
// Set up your summernote instance
$("#<%= txtSummernote.ClientID %>").summernote();
focus: true
// When the summernote instance loses focus, update the content of your <textarea>
$("#<%= txtSummernote.ClientID %>").on('summernote.blur', function () {
$('#<%= txtSummernote.ClientID %>').html($('#<%= txtSummernote.ClientID %>').summernote('code'));
});
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function funcMyHtml() {
debugger;
document.getElementById("#<%= txtSummernote.ClientID %>").value = $('#<%= txtSummernote.ClientID %>').summernote('code');
}
</script>
C# Code behind
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblSum.Text = txtSummernote.Text;
}

Have you considered using a <textarea> to handle this as opposed to a <div>? Usually they are a bit easier to use with respect to storing values (as they are designed to do so) :
<textarea id="txtTest" runat="server"></textarea>
One of the ways that you might handle this would be to register an event using Summernote's available API to set the HTML content for your <textarea> element whenever focus was lost (e.g. the onblur) :
<script>
$(function () {
// Set up your summernote instance
$("#txtTest").summernote();
// When the summernote instance loses focus, update the content of your <textarea>
$("#txtTest").on('summernote.blur', function () {
$('#txtTest').html($('#txtTest').summernote('code'));
});
});
</script>
Since you are likely going to be storing HTML content within the element, you'll likely want to ensure that .NET doesn't think you are trying to exploit it. You can do this by either explicitly setting this page to ignore that process by updating the ValidateRequest property of your page :
<%# Page ... ValidateRequest = "false" %>
Or you could try simply escaping the content that is being set :
$('#txtTest').html(escape($('#txtTest').summernote('code')));

Here is how I got it working.
ref it as a class
class="summernote"
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.summernote').summernote();
});

C# WebForm - Set focus of textbox with Javascript

I have a Javascript that when i write in one textbox, it fills another textbox. But i need that the focus stay in a third textbox.
Actually, my code is:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function SelectValue(source, eventArgs) {
document.getElementById('<%= txtCodeProduct.ClientID %>').value = eventArgs.get_value();
document.getElementById('<%= txtQuantity.ClientID %>').focus();
}
</script>
but the focus don't work...If i put an alert in a code, the focus work:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function SelectValue(source, eventArgs) {
document.getElementById('<%= txtCodeProduct.ClientID %>').value = eventArgs.get_value();
document.getElementById('<%= txtQuantity.ClientID %>').focus();
alert("test");
}
How i resolve this without use alert ?
My textbox are in a form that uses update panel.
Thanks.

Try:
function SelectValue(source, eventArgs) {
document.getElementById('<%= txtCodeProduct.ClientID %>').value = eventArgs.get_value();
setTimeout( function(){
document.getElementById('<%= txtQuantity.ClientID %>').focus();
}, 0);
}

What version of Asp.Net do you use? otherwise you can use ClientIDMode
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.clientidmode.aspx
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCodeProduct" runat="server" ClientIDMode="static" />
<asp:TextBox ID="txtQuantity" runat="server" ClientIDMode="static" />
I also recommend using jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SelectValue(source, eventArgs) {
$("#txtCodeProduct").val(eventArgs.get_value());
$("#txtQuantity").focus();
}

Javascript function is not working on asp:button Click event, where a test alert function works.!

I am trying to create an alert as described in this site http://needim.github.com/noty/
and here is the code
<head runat="server">
<title>Test</title>
<script src="jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/noty/jquery.noty.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/noty/layouts/top.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="buttons.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/noty/themes/default.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div id="customContainer">
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function generate(type, layout) {
var n = noty({
theme: 'defaultTheme',
text: 'Do you want to continue?',
buttons: [
{
addClass: 'btn btn-primary',
text: 'Ok',
onClick: function ($noty) {
// this = button element
// $noty = $noty element
$noty.close();
noty(
{
text: 'Record deleted !',
type: 'success',
callback:
{
onShow: function () { },
afterShow: function () { TakeValue(true); },
onClose: function () { },
afterClose: function () { }
}
});
}
},
{
addClass: 'btn btn-danger',
text: 'Cancel',
onClick: function ($noty) {
$noty.close();
noty(
{
text: 'Record not deleted !',
type: 'warning',
callback:
{
onShow: function () { },
afterShow: function () { TakeValue(false); },
onClose: function () { },
afterClose: function () { }
}
});
}
}
]
});
}
function TakeValue(result) {
if (result == true) {
document.getElementById("Hidden1").value = "true";
alert(document.getElementById("Hidden1").value);
} else {
document.getElementById("Hidden1").value = "false";
alert(document.getElementById("Hidden1").value);
}
}
function generateAll() {
generate('information', 'top');
}
</script>
<form id="form" runat="server">
<input id="Hidden1" type="hidden" value="false"/>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Press" OnClientClick="return generateAll();" />
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="return generateAll();" />
</form>
</body>
I have placed two buttons ,one is HTML button while the other is of asp:Button,
The whole scenario just works fine when I use the HTML button ,but the page is not displaying the similar behavior in case of asp:Button click, I have placed a test function in JavaScript to test the OnClientClick event of the asp:Button and that worked fine,but I don't know why this alert is not getting called, I think there is some problem with the Noty JS.
Kindly give feed back
thanks.

As jbabey said in the comments:
an asp:button will cause a postback when clicked by default. you need to return false from the onclientclick, right now you are returning undefined since generateAll has no return.
Since you're using jQuery, I'd go one step further and not directly set the click attribute. Instead, set it using jQuery:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Button1').click(generateAll);
});
...
function generateAll(e) {
generate('information', 'top');
// This will prevent the default action of submitting the form.
e.preventDefault();
}
</script>

Could you please add UseSubmitBehavior="false" attribute to the asp:button.
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Press" UseSubmitBehavior="false" OnClientClick="return generateAll();" />
I hope this will resolve your issue. Please let me know whether it helped you or not.

Is there a way to send text to an aspcontrol via jquery

Is there a way to send data to an aspcontrol say a label called label1? Via jquery?
I know jquery only likes html but is there a way to just send the raw text to an asp control using a similar method below:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('button').click(function () {
$(document).ready(function () {
var x = $('textarea').val();
$('textarea').val('');
var label = $("#<%= Label1.ClientID %>");
var newdiv = $("<div></div>").html(x).attr('id', 'test');
$('#test1').append(newdiv);
var serializer = new XMLSerializer();
label.text(serializer.serializeToString(newdiv));
return false;
});
});
});
</script>

I think the bigger issue is asp.net changes the id and trying to get that in the code isn't that easy.
Can you use the name attribute? If so you can just look for the name attribute containing your name using the jquery selector '[ name *="YourName"]'
EDIT: I meant to add firebug is a great help for examining page elements and figuring exactly what you can use (Ex: asp.net adds a name attribute to a button by default) and whats going on (like your return false failing) then tweaking your jquery from the watch window.
Sample asp.net form content:
<p>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" name="TextBox1" runat="server" Rows="3"></asp:TextBox>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" /></p>
<p>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" name="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</p>
<div id="test1"></div>
jquery:
$(function () {
$('[name*= "Button1"]').click(function () {
var x = $('[name*= "TextBox1"]').val();
var newdiv = $("<div></div>").html(x).attr('id', 'test');
$('#test1').append(newdiv);
$('[name*= "Label1"]').text($('#test1').html());
$('[name*= "TextBox1"]').val('');
return false;
});
});

Here's how to do it without jQuery:
<%# Page Inherits="System.Web.UI.Page" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="App_Resources/JavaScript/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="testLabel" runat="server" Text="test" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function ()
{
var label = document.getElementById("<%= testLabel.ClientID %>");
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerText = "content";
label.innerText = div.outerHTML;
});
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>
