I have two asp.net buttons inside a template (Expand and Collapse)
I want to implement a simple client side javascript function to hide the expand button after press it and show the collapse button and vice versa.
<asp:Button ID="btnExpand" runat="server" CommandName="Expand"
CommandArgument='<%# Container.DataElement("Id")%>' Text="+" />
<asp:Button ID="btnCollapse" runat="server" CommandName="Collapse"
CommandArgument='<%# Container.DataElement("Id")%>' Text="-" />
I tried OnClientClick event but I didn't know how to get the sender button and the second button from javascipt because they're in a template and their IDs will be generated.
I tried also to change their visibility from the code behind in the server (by Visible property) but the problems is the event handler will be fired after the postback and the changes will not be applied in the client.
Any help !!
sorry if the question is silly, I'm new in the web development.
Thanks in advance.
Use ClientID like:
<!-- Supposing you have the following button control -->
<asp:button id="myButton" runat="server" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var theID = '<%= myButton.ClientID %>';
// Now do whatever you like with it.
</script>
Be careful where you place that code. You need to make sure that the html client renderer has finished creating that item.
In the function where you are implementing the hide and show template, put $("#buttonID").hide();.

im trying to hide div by clicking the button, but it does hide it for a second and return the div (looks like it refreshing page).here is my html code :
<div id="page">
<p>First Paragraph</p>
<p>Second Paragraph</p>
<p>Yet one more Paragraph</p>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
</div>
and here is my jquery code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Button1").click(function () {
$("#page").hide();
});
});
What Rick said in his answer AND you need to add Type="Button" to your button.
<Button ID="Button1" type="button">Button</button>
The default button type is submit, which will cause the page refresh. AND, as Rick mentioned, ASP buttons will also submit. So, you need to use an HTML button and set the type="button" attribute.
From MDN
The type of the button. Possible values are:
submit: The button submits the form data to the server. This is the default if the attribute is not specified, or if the attribute
is dynamically changed to an empty or invalid value.
reset: The button resets all the controls to their initial values.
button: The button has no default behavior. It can have client-side scripts associated with the element's events, which are
triggered when the events occur.
An ASP Button with runat="server" causes a server post-back. If you aren't going to be acting on that click from the server, just use a client-side button like:
<button id="Button1" type="button">Button</button>
Set the client id mode to static on the button, then it'll work. It's not working because that hasn't been specified so the name is changing.
<asp:Button ID="Button1" ClientIDMode ="Static" runat="server" Text="Button" />
If you wanted to disable the postback to simply hide something without processing anything, then just using a client side button is the best option.
I'm working in C# /ASP.Net and I'm trying to figure out a way to write some code that will run as soon as a textbox's value changes. In Access this would probably be done with a KeyPress event, but I'm using C#. I know nothing about Javascript, and I know there's an OnBlur event for a textbox but it only takes Java.
Is there any way to do this using only C# code-behind and ASP.Net, or am I going to have to suck it up and teach myself Javascript?
What I want to do is determine if any change has been made to a textbox at the moment of the keystroke, and if so I need to change the "Visible" properties of two buttons so that button1 is visible and button2 is not. If no change has been made by the time I get to the OnTextChanged event, then button2 is visible and button1 is not.
There is no way to do this that is native to Asp.Net. You will have to learn a little javascript or jQuery. For example, in native js:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txt" ClientIDMode="Static" onkeyup="onEnterText()"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnOne" ClientIDMode="Static" Text="One" style="display:none;" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnTwo" ClientIDMode="Static" Text="Two" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function onEnterText() {
var text = document.getElementById("txt").value,
one = document.getElementById("btnOne"),
two = document.getElementById("btnTwo");
if (text.length > 0) {
one.setAttribute("style", "display:inline;");
two.setAttribute("style", "display:none;");
} else {
one.setAttribute("style", "display:none;");
two.setAttribute("style", "display:inline;");
}
}
</script>
ClientIDMode="Static" is important because it ensures that the control's ID is unchanged (Asp.Net usually creates a client id based on the control hierarchy), enabling you to find the control in javascript.
Also bear in mind that your buttons' visibility will need to be managed during postbacks to mirror the client-side logic.
I want to change the source of the iframe from a listbox. And here is my code.
<iframe id="iframeID" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="300px"></iframe>
<asp:Button ID="btnView" runat="server" Text="Pop Up HTML Preview"
OnClientClick="ShowPopUp();" />
ShowPopUp = function() {
var x = document.getElementById('<%=ListBox1.ClientID %>');
var val = x.options[x.selectedIndex].Value;
document.getElementById("iframeID").src = val;
But error says I have an undefined iframe.
What is wrong?
Please help me. Thanks :)
You may change the source using jquery:
$("#content").attr('src', 'http://your new source here');
so you can invoke this method when the selected item in the listbox is changed.
If it doesn't do anything from C#, make a normal button - ASP tends to add fancy prefixes to its controls' IDs (like ContentPlaceHolder1_btnView), and those can't be accessed that way by .ID from C# code. So you can either chceck these IDs (which are able to change if you move them somewhere else) by browser's source code inspector, or use
<input type="button" ID="btnView" Value="Pop Up HTML Preview"
OnClick="ShowPopUp();" />
(Modify your JS accordingly)
use value, JavaScript is case sensitive
var val = x.options[x.selectedIndex].value;
and change OnClientClick as below
<asp:Button ID="btnView" runat="server" Text="Pop Up HTML Preview"
OnClientClick="ShowPopUp(); return false;" />
Button click event make full post back request to server. So again your Ifram will have default src value after postback. Here you have not given value as default src. So nothing will get after click on button. after you add return false button click will not postback after click.
I have an asp wizard on my page with three steps.
<asp:Wizard ID="wizardBestellen" runat="server" ActiveStepIndex="0" DisplaySideBar="False" onfinishbuttonclick="wizard_NextButtonClick" onnextbuttonclick="wizard_NextButtonClick" onpreviousbuttonclick="wizard_PreviousButtonClick">
<StartNavigationTemplate></StartNavigationTemplate>
<StepNavigationTemplate></StepNavigationTemplate>
<FinishNavigationTemplate></FinishNavigationTemplate>
<WizardSteps>
<asp:WizardStep runat="server" ID="step1" StepType="Start">
<uc1:control ID="uc1" runat="server" />
</asp:WizardStep>
<asp:WizardStep runat="server"ID="step2" StepType="Step">
<uc2:control ID="uc2" runat="server" />
</asp:WizardStep>
<asp:WizardStep ID="step3" runat="server" StepType="Finish">
<uc3:control ID="uc3" runat="server" />
</asp:WizardStep>
</WizardSteps>
</asp:Wizard>
Now every control has a next and a previous button which after the click validates your data and sends you to the next step. The buttons all look like:
<asp:LinkButton ID="bntPrevious" runat="server" CommandName="MovePrevious" CssClass="buttonOrange" CausesValidation="false"><span>Previous</span></asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnNext" runat="server" CommandName="MoveNext" CssClass="buttonOrange" CausesValidation="true"><span>Next</span></asp:LinkButton>
So far it all works perfectly..
Now i wanted to disable the buttons after clicking on it and show a div with a loader image. So i created a div named divLoader and a javascript function which hides the div the buttons are in and shows the div with the loader.
function ToggleDiv(divButton, divLabel)
{
if (divButton.style.display == 'block')
{
divButton.style.display = 'none';
divLabel.style.display = 'block';
}
else
{
divButton.style.display = 'block';
divLabel.style.display = 'none';
}
}
But i can't get this to work. The ToggleDiv function works great in another situation, so thats not the problem.
I've tried calling the function from the OnClick attribute in the linkbutton but this gave me an error. I tried the OnClientClick, but this didn't work and i also tried setting the onclick attribute in the code behind, this also was a dead end.
Can anybody explain to me what i am doing wrong or is there another way to prevent users clicking the button twice?
Sounds like you're not getting the binding to work.
The first thing I would do is check the emitted control IDs by doing a view-source. Some implementation of the .NET framework add extra fluff to these control IDs, so can't guarantee that it will be the same as appears on the form.
Next, I would try some JavaScript late binding. If you have a JavaScript file, put it there. If not create one or add a JavaScript block to the foot of your form (create a new file for preference).
All this would be much easier with a JAvaScript lbrary such as jQuery, but for the moment lets assume you don't have one.
Add a window onload event handler
window.onload = function(){
//code to go here
}
Now add the click binding for your button:
window.onload = function(){
document.getElementById("***YOUR BUTTON ID***").onclick = function(){
ToggleDiv(this, document.getElementById("***YOUR LABEL ID***"));
}
}
I said this would be a little easer with jQuery, well, this is the equivalent implementation:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#***YOUR BUTTON ID***").click(function(){
$(this).toggle();
$("#***YOUR LABEL ID***")).toggle();
});
});
The above sample removes the need for your ToggleDiv function entirely.
i have a textarea which i want to disable when I check a checkbox. I made a working demo in plain HTML and JavaScript , but When I am migrating to Asp.net, neither the function is being executed nor I can keep the OnSelect event in my check box.
<asp:CheckBox ID="ChkOthers" runat="server" Text="Others(Please Explain)" Width="205px" AutoPostBack="True" OnCheckedChanged="ChkOthers_CheckedChanged" />
<asp:TextBox ID="TxtOtherReason" runat="server" MaxLength="1024" TextMode="MultiLine" />
i want to create client side validation when check box is checked textbox is enable else disable.
I guess you problem is in the id of the controls so here is my solution for your problem
//Remove the AutoPostBack property and the OnCheckedChanged="ChkOthers_CheckedChanged"
<asp:CheckBox ID="ChkOthers" runat="server" Text="Others(Please Explain)" Width="205px" OnClick="javascript:YourFunction()" />
<asp:TextBox ID="TxtOtherReason" runat="server" MaxLength="1024" TextMode="MultiLine" />
and put the following javascript to handle the enable and diable of the textbox
<script>
function YourFunction() {
document.getElementById('<%= TxtOtherReason.ClientID %>').disabled = document.getElementById('<%= ChkOthers.ClientID %>').checked == false ? true : false;
}
</script>
It has been a while for me since I used ASP.NET but from memory there is something like an "OnClientClick" event and a validation property in asp.net properties for a control that you can use to call client side JavaScript code..
Sorry for the vague answer - perhaps someone can expand on it.
You are using a server side handling of the event. Use a client side handling with "OnClientClick". You can do something like:
<asp:CheckBox ID="ChkOthers" runat="server"
Text="Others(Please Explain)"
Width="205px"
AutoPostBack="True"
OnClientClick="alert(this.checked);"
OnCheckedChanged="ChkOthers_CheckedChanged" />
It seems this also does not work. I am yet to prove.
Also see a similar post on StackOverflow: OnClick vs OnClientClick for an asp:CheckBox? and there is also an issue in MS site: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/103398/checkbox-onclientclick
you can put the code in cs files .after it loaded you can make the onclientclick method to an exist javascript function .
and in the javascript function you can get the text box use the name or the simple id which you can get from the source file the server gives to the browser!
