asp.net Refresh base page from iframe - c#

I have page with other asp.net page inside iframe.
And on button click inside iframe i need to refresh main page from server side.
How can it?

Make use of javascript and you can easily do it
call the following function on your button click
<script language="javascript">
function RefreshParent()
{
window.parent.location.href = window.parent.location.href;
}
</script>
From the cs code if you are opening the aspx page in the iframe
Page.RegisterStartupScript("RefreshParent","<script
language='javascript'>RefreshParent()</script>");

Its explained very well in the following links:
link 1
link 2
Hope it helps.

For some reason the javascript function shown in earlier answers did not work for me (although the function was called). However, this worked for me:
function RefreshParent()
{
// Was: window.parent.location.href = window.parent.location.href;
parent.location.reload();
}
I had to add it near the start of my HTML (near the end of the HTML didn't work, as it was not yet rendered).
I used this C# code to call it, which is based on earlier answers but updated to use the current API which has an extra initial paramter, "type":
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "RefreshParent", "<script language='javascript'>RefreshParent()</script>");

How to call javascript function from code-behind after ajax postback

I'm using Telerik controls in my project and I am using RadTabStrip for my purposes
<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="tsRequisitions" Skin="" MultiPageID="mpRequisitions" runat="server" Width="980" ScrollButtonsPosition="Right" ScrollChildren="True" OnTabCreated="tabCreated">
As you can see in this template I call tabCreated method every time when new tab has created. Now I want to call some javascript function from server-side(all mentioned is in RadAjaxPanel).
I've tried to use RegisterClientScriptBlock, but it didn't help me to fire my javascript function.
if (!ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("tabSelected"))
{
ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),
"tabSelected", "TabSelected();", true);
}
And I have this in my .aspx file
<script type="text/javascript">
function TabSelected() {
console.log("dfgdfgfdg");
}
</script>
How can I call my function from code-behind after AJAX postback?
The following code snippet do the trick
RadScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this,this.GetType(), "tabSelectedScript", "TabSelected();", true);
RegisterStartupScript is static method of RadScriptManager class (I'm using Telerik controls here again, but maybe it will work with asp.net standart ScriptManager too).
Have you tried this ?
Page.RegisterStartupScript("OnLoad", "<script>TabSelected();</script>");

How do I fire a aspx script when a dynamically added button is clicked?

Here is the context:
I am building a .aspx page that allows the user to administrate some xml documents we have on our server. The page content is loaded using AJAX, so buttons and forms are dynamically added to the document.
If I had static buttons that I was creating within the .aspx page before it loads on the client's machine, I could attach an event to it very easily. However, I'm dynamically adding and removing buttons and forms on the fly, using jQuery.
Here is a simplified example:
In the following jsFiddle, I'm pretending that the html document contains the following script:
<script language="C#" type="text/C#" runat="server">
void SaveAllChanges(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button clickedButton = (Button)sender;
clickedButton.Text = "foobar";
}
</script>
And that I have a javascript file that contains the following:
$('button.buttonGenerator').click(function() {
$('.buttonContainer').append(
'<button onclick="SaveAllChanges">' +
'Save All Changes!' +
'</button>'
);
});
Obviously the buttons I am creating can not run the function SaveAllChanges with the way it is now. I added the onclick attribute to show what I needed to happen, in a pseudo-code kind of style.
How can I make it so that dynamically added buttons can run the C# method I have defined within the script tag at the top of the document?
Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2XwRJ/
Thanks.
You can give all buttons that must save changes a common class (e.g. class="ajaxButton") and have one jQuery method that responds to click events on elements matching that class (use live so that updates to the DOM are reflected).
$("button.ajaxButton").live("click", function(){
// Perform your Ajax callback to run server-side code
});
What you need to do is use something like ..
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button.buttonGenerator').click(function() {
$('.buttonContainer').append(
'<button id="#dynamicCommentButton" onclick="SaveAllChanges">' +
'Save All Changes!' +
'</button>'
);
});
$(document).on('click', '#dynamicCommentButton', function() {
alert($(this).attr('id'));
});
});
You are not going to be able to add the buttons like you have it there as this code here is just adding it as an HTML DOM element and the onclick attribute will be the on the client element. As a result clicking the button will try fire a SaveAllChanges javascript function
$('.buttonContainer').append(
'<button onclick="SaveAllChanges">' +
'Save All Changes!' +
'</button>'
);
What would be best would be to create that SaveAllChanges function in javascript and then you can handle it from there. Two of the ways I see you being able to do this are:
Have a http endpoint setup (script service, web api or just posting to a page) that you call using Ajax from your javascript. You can then pass through any needed arguments.
You could have a hidden element and hidden button on the page so that when the javascript is called it populates any arguments you need and then clicks the hidden button and posts the page back.
Personally I would choose the first approach from a user experience stand point as the page will not be posting back each time. I have used something similar to the second approach and it works fine but just feels very clunky.

How to stop browser back button showing a page I have left

I am using MVC2 and VS2010.
We have created a web application but want to stop any browser re-visiting pages after the page has been left.
We want to do this so that someone who is using a public computer who then leaves can feel safe. We dont want the scenario that a following user can just use the back button to view the first uses pages.
I have tried [OutputCache(NoStore = true, Duration = 0, VaryByParam = "*")]
This seems to work fine and I get a Web Page Expired. But if I press the browser back button again, the page will be displayed.
I have quite a similar situation myself in wanting to prevent a browser back situation and have researched a few different solutions. The first and worst being a Java script function which takes the user back to the page they were on if they click the back button in the browser. It hides the problem rather than solving it but thought id mention it. The code as follows:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function disableBackButton() {
window.history.forward()
}
disableBackButton();
window.onload = disableBackButton();
window.onpageshow = function (evt) { if (evt.persisted) disableBackButton() }
window.onunload = function () { void (0) };
</script>
This works for Firefox, Chrome and IE ok. You can just put this in your master page.
Many people will tell you this is not the way to do things however as it intrudes on the well known browser behaviour etc etc
So my second suggestion is something I have seen here:
Disable browser cache for entire ASP.NET website
Which will not cache anything which is more inline with what you are wanting I think.
Another idea would be to pass a page or session token around and on actions check the token - if its invalid reroute to an error page. That would at least prevent a new user doing anything with the previous page.
Id be interested to know how you solved this, if you have solved it.

ASP.net user control doesn't call a javascript function

I am developing asp.net web application, I have a repeater that call a registered user control, I have in the user control a button that I want to call a javascript function that make Ajax call to do some action on server. this button doesn't call the javascript method, I don't know why? and when I view source I found the javascript function is repeated for every item in the repeater, how to eliminate this repetition specially that I read server items inside the function, and why the function is not called?
Thanks a lot!
sercontrol.ascx
<div id="divBtnEvent" runat="server">
<input type="button" id="btnAddEvent" class="ok-green" onclick="saveEvent();" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveEvent()
{
var eventText = document.getElementById('<%=txtEventDescription.ClientID%>').value;
// make ajax call
}
Problem 1: In view source I found the javascript function is repeated for every item in the repeater.
Solution:
Put your js function on the page on which the user control is being called. You also have to place your js files references on your page not on user control.
Problem 2: You are trying to get control's value as <%=txtEventDescription.ClientID%>.
And I think, this control is on user control.
Solution: Please check your page source code and see that the control's actual clientid is.
If still have issues in calling js function, check firefox's Error consol.
Hope this help.
OP said and when I view source I found the javascript function is repeated for every item in the repeater
to get rid of it put ur javascript as follows
<head runat="server">
//heres goes ur js
</head>
I guess that's ur problem
Replace the saveEvent function definition from user control onto the page where the control is used. All the way as I understand, you have use in this function textbox id from that page.
Actually, if you have place javascript block in user control's markup it will be rendered along with the rest control's markup. To avoid this you may register javascript from the server code and check is that code block is already registered.
By the way, as it is - only the last function definition being taked into attention as it redefined the previous one each time new control instance rendered.

asp.net accessing javascript variables after ajax updatepanel

I'm using AJAX on an ASP.NET web project to update a page. Some of my functions return XML that I want to embed on the page after it reloads. This part works, here's a sample of how it looks at the top of the page:
var productXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><ArrayOfProduct xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\"><Product><ActualProdID>123</ActualProdID><Name>Test</Name><Description>Test</Description><Edition>Test</Edition><Platform>Test</Platform><Family>Test</Family><Type>Test</Type><DeploymentTypes>Test</DeploymentTypes><BaseActualProdID>Test</BaseActualProdID><Price>0</Price></Product></ArrayOfProduct>";
Later in the page I'm trying to use the XML but it's not working. I tried to do something simple and just throw an alert box in that looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function closeLoading()
{
jQuery('.pleaseWaitPanel').css({ 'display': 'none', 'visibility': 'hidden' });
alert("here");
alert(productXML);
alert("here2");
}
</script>
closeLoading() is called inside:
window.onload = function () { Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(closeLoading); };
It loads the jQuery and the first alert "here" works perfect. When I go to alert the productXML, nothing happens. It doesn't throw a JavaScript error, I'm using Firebug. I can confirm the XML is on the page.
Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated!!
From your code snippets, it looks like your closeLoading function is only being called in your window.onload function. This means that it won't be called after any Ajax request completes as the window won't be reloaded.
I would try moving your call to Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(closeLoading) to just before your closing server-side form tag:
<form runat="server">
...
<script>
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(closeLoading);
</script>
</form>
Hope this helps.
var productXML
Is a ServerSide variable, so you don't have access to this in Client script.
If you want to use in a javascript function you can do this :
1) Put the result in a textbox hidden, like
<input type='hidden' value='<%=productXML%>'>
then simply get the value of the textbox.
