Repeater does not show data

As posted earlier , Here is my HTML :
<%# Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/VendorMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="PastOrders.aspx.cs" Inherits="PastOrders" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="Server">
<br />
<asp:Repeater ID="rptr" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4 mb">
<a href="VendorProfile.aspx">
<div class="twitter-panel pn">
<i class="fa fa-twitter fa-4x"></i>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name") %>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</div>
</a>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</asp:Content>
C# :
public partial class PastOrders : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Session["vendor"] != null)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
ArrayList values = new ArrayList();
values.Add(new Testing
{
Name = "Caterer"
});
values.Add(new Testing
{
Name = "Florist"
});
values.Add(new Testing
{
Name = "Cab Services"
});
rptr.DataSource = values;
rptr.DataBind();
}
}
else
{
Response.Redirect("VendorLogin.aspx");
}
}
public class Testing
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
}
Now i want to generate 3 separate divs, with the Names on them as : "Caterer","Florist","Cab Services",etc.
Instead it is only generating one div with all the 3 names inside it .
I tried formatting it with the Header Template and the Footer Template where i put the parent divs and the anchor tag in the Header Template and the closing of the same in the Footer Template . Bt it doesn't produce the expected result still.

Now you do bind data, but you do not access your data within your repater. Change it to
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Repeater ID="rptr" runat="server" >
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="divStyle" id="divStyle">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name") %>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</form>
and it should work!

Create tab dynamically after some div in first tabs

Create tab dynamically after showing 20 div in first tab.Actually I am generating a div dynamically,there may be 100 div generated dynamically.I want to show 20 div in one tab and if there are 100 div there it will automatically generate 5 tabs with 20 div in each tabs.
<div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">tab1</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">tab2</li>
</ul>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">
<div id="slider1" class="sliderwrapper">
<div class="contentdiv">
12345
</div>
<div class="contentdiv">
12345
</div>
</div>
<div id="paginate-slider1" class="pagination">
</div>
<div id="paginate1-slider1" class="pagination2">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Here I created a jsFiddle which generates the tabs dynamically based on the number of contentDivs: http://jsfiddle.net/Z6HN9/ , it may help you achieve your goal.
the HTML code:
<div id="tabs">
<ul id="tabLinks"></ul>
</div>
the JavaScript code:
$(function () {
var neededDivCount = 100; // number of contentDivs for test purposes
var divPerTab = 20; // number of contentDivs / tabs for test purposes
// create the conentDivs dynamically for test purposes
for (var i = 1; i <= neededDivCount; i++) {
$("body").append('<div class="contentDiv">div' + i + 'content</div>');
}
// create the tabs and tabLinks based on the number of contentDivs in the document
var neededTabCount = Math.floor(($(".contentDiv").length - 1) / divPerTab) + 1;
for (var i = 1; i <= neededTabCount; i++) {
$("#tabs").append('<div id="tab' + i + '"></div>');
$("#tabLinks").append('<li>tab' + i + '</li>');
}
// loop through the contentDivs and append them to the correct tab
$(".contentDiv").each(function (index) {
var appendToTabIndex = Math.floor(index / divPerTab) + 1;
$(this).appendTo($("#tab" + appendToTabIndex));
});
$("#tabs").tabs();
});

You can use 2 nested repeaters.. The child one is generated from datatable the returns your content records (content divs) and the parent one is dynamically generated from Anonymous types list.

Binding mouseover event to asp.net repeater

I have an asp.net repeater that displays a title and and image.
The title is very long , so I want to display the title again on mouse over.
I tried to implement a mouse over but I have the following problem.
My display looks like this :
Repeater Element 1 Repeater Element 2
Title 1 Title 2
Image 1 Image 2
Now on doing a mouse over on Element1 , my mouse over displays Title1.
On doing a mouseover on Element2 , my mouse over displays Title1 again ,and I would like it to
display Title2 ? Can anyone point me on how i can achieve this.
My code is below :
<asp:Repeater ID="rptMonitorSummary" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="rptMonitorSummary_OnItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Panel ID="Pnl" runat="server" onmouseover="return showsamplepopup();" onmouseout="return hidesamplepopup();">
<li class="ui-widget-content ui-corner-tr">
<h5 class="ui-widget-header">
<%# Eval("Name").ToString().Length > 9 ? (Eval("Name") as string).Substring(0, 9) : Eval("Name")%>
</h5>
<div id="popup" style="position: absolute; width: 80px; height: auto; background-color: Lime;
border-bottom: solid 3px gray; display: none; border-right: solid 3px gray; display: none;">
<%#Eval("Name")%>
</div>
<div class="center">
<asp:Image Width="50px" ID="btnPerformanceImage" runat="server" Height="28px"></asp:Image>
</div>
</li>
</asp:Panel>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
The javascript functions are as follows :
function hidesamplepopup() {
document.getElementById('popup').style.display = 'none';
return false;
}
function showsamplepopup(e) {
e = (e) ? e : window.event;
var element = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement;
var left = element.offsetLeft;
var top = element.offsetTop;
while (element = element.offsetParent) {
left += element.offsetLeft;
top += element.offsetTop;
}
document.getElementById('popup').style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById('popup').style.left = left;
document.getElementById('popup').style.top = top;
return false;
}

I do not know what is your requirement. It could have been a lot easier if you use jQuery tooltip.
This is just an alternative approach.
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$(document).tooltip();
});
</script>
<asp:Repeater ID="rptMonitorSummary" runat="server"
OnItemDataBound="rptMonitorSummary_OnItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Panel ID="Pnl" runat="server">
<li class="ui-widget-content ui-corner-tr">
<h5 class="ui-widget-header" title="<%# Eval("Name").ToString() %>">
<%# Eval("Name").ToString().Length > 9 ?
(Eval("Name").ToString()).Substring(0, 9) : Eval("Name")%>
</h5>
<div class="center">
<asp:Image Width="50px" ID="btnPerformanceImage"
runat="server" Height="28px"></asp:Image>
</div>
</li>
</asp:Panel>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Notice that getElementById will return the first element with that ID. And you're using the same ID for your Div's.
You should either use a different ID for each item of the repeater (generating different ID's for each of them), or change your logic to fetch them by some other property. I highly recommend using jQuery as well.

I would change the way which you are binding the events to elements, as your sample code doesn't use jQuery I'll assume you don't want it :)
First things first, you'll want to add a class to the asp:panel so that there will be some way of identifying and selecting all the instances. Also you'll want to use classes for your popups not IDs as IDs should be unique on a page.
then you can do something like:
var elements = document.querySelectorAll('.thatClassYouAdded'),
i = 0, l = elements.length;
for(;i<l;i++)
{
elements[i].addEventListener('mouseover', function(e) {
var popup = this.querySelector('.popup');
//do some stuff to popup
});
}
It's also important to note that querySelector is not supported in legacy browsers (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.querySelector for more info and support table) and older IEs (pre 9) use attachEvent instead of addEventListener which you may need to write additional code to support

How to set the down to the vertical scroll bar in div tag using asp.net timer control when page is refreshing

I am developing a chat application using asp.net, in that application using div tag with in div tag add the asp.net Literal message box and one timer control , now my problem is when the page will refresh or click the button (any time) the div scrollbar is always top but I would like it to stay at the bottom, how to adjust my code?
<div id="divMessages" style="background-color: White; border-color:Black;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;height:300px;width:592px;overflow-y:scroll; font-size: 11px; padding: 4px 4px 4px 4px;" onresize="SetScrollPosition()">
<asp:Literal Id="litMessages" runat="server" />
</div>
<asp:TextBox Id="txtMessage" onkeyup="ReplaceChars()" onfocus="SetToEnd(this)" runat="server" MaxLength="100" Width="500px" ClientIDMode="Static" />
<asp:Button Id="btnSend" runat="server" Text="Send" OnClientClick="SetScrollPosition()" OnClick="BtnSend_Click" ClientIDMode="Static"/>
and javascript function is
function SetScrollPosition()
{
var div = document.getElementById('divMessages');
div.scrollIntoView(false);
//(or)
div.scrollTop = 10000;
//(both are checking)
}
please give me any suggestion about that
I checked this example it is working with out update panel but i have update panel and timer control also, i need to using those controls to maintain the div scroll bar in bottom please give me any suggestion ................

Check this code See this Example
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePartialRendering="true"
ScriptMode="Release" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var xPos, yPos;
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();
function BeginRequestHandler(sender, args) {
if ($get('<%=divMessages.ClientID%>') != null) {
xPos = $get('<%=divMessages.ClientID%>').scrollLeft;
yPos = $get('<%=divMessages.ClientID%>').scrollTop;
}
}
function EndRequestHandler(sender, args) {
if ($get('<%=divMessages.ClientID%>') != null) {
xPos = $get('<%=divMessages.ClientID%>').scrollLeft = xPos;
yPos = $get('<%=divMessages.ClientID%>').scrollTop = yPos;
}
}
prm.add_beginRequest(BeginRequestHandler);
prm.add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);
</script>

i may have a simple solution,but i not sure whether is you want.
in traditional,we can set an anchor for the url and let page scroll to special location when access this page.similar to this : http://www.example.com/#message.
so,you can write a little of js to control this anchor.
<div id="divMessages" onresize="SetScrollPosition()">
<asp:Literal Id="litMessages" runat="server" />
</div>
<div id="msg-local" />//add new element is to auto scroll to here.
function SetScrollPosition()
{
......
//set the url with anchor
window.location.hash = "go-msg-local";
//set this value can disable browser auto scroll
}
//then page load event
function page_load {
if (window.location.hash) {
window.location.hash = "msg-local";
}
}

Is it possible to reference a linkbotton outside an update panel as the update trigger?

ALL I WANT TO DO IS GET THE RESPECTIVE PAGES TO LOAD INSIDE THE MAIN CONTENT AREA (THE MIDDLE SECTION) WITHOUT RELOADING THE PAGE. ITS BEEN A LONG WAY COMING BUT PROVED SUCCESSFUL WITH A LOT TO LEARN BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN APPLY THIS SAME TECHNIQUE TO THE OTHER BUTTON CLICK(ADD EXHIBIT) SINCE IN THE AJAX CODE IN THE HEADER OF THE MASTER PAGE SPECIFIES THE URL ON JUST ONE PAGE. HOW DO I DO THAT FOR SUBSEQUENT PAGES THAT USE THE MASTER PAGE AND WOULD BE DOING SIMILAR ACTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE THE CASE MANAGER PAGE THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
<%# Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CaseManager.aspx.cs" Inherits="Prototype4.CaseManager" %>
This is a place holder for allerts about cases to which the investigator has been assigned to.
<div style="margin-top:20px; margin-bottom:20px;">
<p class="actionButton"><asp:LinkButton ID="AllocateOfficerLinkButton" runat="server">Allocate Officer</asp:LinkButton> </p>
<p class="actionButton"><asp:LinkButton ID="ReallocateLinkButton" runat="server">Reallocate Officer</asp:LinkButton> </p>
<p class="actionButton"><asp:LinkButton ID="SetPriorityLinkButton" runat="server">Prioritize Case</asp:LinkButton> </p>
<p class="actionButton"><asp:LinkButton ID="OpenCaseLinkButton" runat="server">Open Case</asp:LinkButton> </p>
<p class="actionButton"><asp:LinkButton ID="RegisterExhibitLinkButton" runat="server">Register Exhibit</asp:LinkButton> </p>
</div>
I WANT TO TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR LIKE IN THE CASE ADMIN PAGE BUT AM WONDERING WHAT THE CODES WILL ADD UP TO BE LIKE IN THE MASTER PAGE.
THANKS...

I actually just wanted to load a form
that is created in another asp. page
into the main content area...
I fear that what you need is not UpdatePanel but rather "ordinary" AJAX loading that other page contents into some element.. using jQuery it's as simple as:
$("#OtherPagePanel").load("OtherPage.aspx");
Where OtherPagePanel is the ID of some element in your .aspx code.
You can pass parameters to the other page over the URL, if you need to Post data it's still possible but requires some extra lines - let us know in such case.
Edit:
In the placeholder where you want the data from other page to appear, have this:
<div id="OtherPagePanel"></div>
Have such link in the other placeholder: (no need in LinkButton, ordinary HTML link is enough)
<a id="lnkShowOtherPage" href="#">Show other page</a>
Now in the <head> section of your master page add this code and it's all done:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#lnkShowOtherPage").click(function() {
$("#OtherPagePanel").load("OtherPage.aspx");
});
});
</script>
You can also copy the jQuery.min.js file to your own server and change the src accordingly.
Edit 2:
In order to debug add such lines to the code, it will tell what went wrong:
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("JS code in general: OK");
$(function() {
alert("Page load: OK");
$("#lnkShowOtherPage").click(function() {
alert("Link click: OK");
$("#OtherPagePanel").load("OtherPage.aspx");
});
});
</script>
Reload the page and let us know what alerts you get.
Edit 3:
Based on the previous debug results, have this code now:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#lnkShowOtherPage").click(function() {
alert("OtherPagePanel length: " + $("#OtherPagePanel").length);
alert("OtherPagePanel load: " + $("#OtherPagePanel").load);
$("#OtherPagePanel").load("OtherPage.aspx");
});
});
</script>
Edit 4 and hopefully last:
In order to load different page into different div by clicking different button in addition to everything you already have, have such code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#lnkShowOtherPage").click(function() {
$("#OtherPagePanel").load("OtherPage.aspx");
});
$("#lnkShowDifferentOtherPage").click(function() {
$("#DifferentOtherPagePanel").load("DifferentOtherPage.aspx");
});
});
</script>

Is it a postback trigger or an async postback trigger?
i think you can register controls as post back or async on a script manager level with:
Control oControl;
ScriptManager1.RegisterAsyncPostBackControl(oControl);
you could try that
