include jQuery source file in asp.net - c#

I have a drop down list and some styles applied to it from two js files, included in head like:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/functions.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.jqtransform.js"></script>
All it's working great when the page is loading for the first time.
But when i do an ajax request on this page the styles applied before, are lost, so i have included the js src files from the code behing like:
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
loadJs();
}
private void loadJs()
{
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptInclude(this,
typeof(Page),
"AlertScript",
ResolveClientUrl("~/Site/js/jquery.jqtransform.js"));
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptInclude(this,
typeof(Page),
"AlertScript2",
ResolveClientUrl("~/Site/js/functions.js"));
}
But...it's still not working although i see in the broswer - view source that the js files are loaded correctly in the body...
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

In your ajax return function (on the html page) you need to reapply the jquery commands you run the first time the page loads.
jQuery runs over the DOM and does what you tell it to. When the ajax call returns and replaces a part of the page, all runtime changes for that region are lost, so you need to reapply them.
Basically you need to call whatever function is called in jqtransform.js and in functions.js on page load on the html element which is replaces.

Setting Content in RadEditor

I have visited the Telerik's website and viewed their demos etc...
But I am having problems trying to load content (html) in the RadEditor.
I have a Button_Click event where I get my html string and then set it to the RadEditor. The RadEditor is inside a RadWindow and only becomes visible when the button is clicked.
protected void btnSubmitHtml_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadEditor1.Content = "<p>hello there</p>";
RadWindow1.Visible = true;
}
This doesn't show the html inside the RadEditor for some odd reason. I suspect it is the page life cycle that is involved with this problem.
Are there any suggestions to solve this?
I have encountered this problem multiple times and never found a "Proper" resolution.
However, a great work around is to simply set the content from the clientside via injected script. The end result is the same, and if you can tolerate the 10 millisecond delay, worthy of consideration.
EDIT after comment requested reference
Basically all you need to get an instance of the editor using ASP.NET WebForms $find function. That takes the html ID of the root of the rendered object and returns the client side viewModel if one exists.
The $(setEditorInitialContent) call at the end assumes that jQuery is present and delays the execution of the function till page load.
<telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
<Content>
Here is sample content!
</Content>
</telerik:radeditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setEditorInitialContent() {
var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object
editor.set_html("HEY THIS IS SOME CONTENT INTO YOUR EDITOR!!!!");
}
$(setEditorInitialContent);
</script>
Take a look here to see how to get a RadEditor to work in a RadWindow: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-troubleshooting-radeditor-in-radwindow.html.
Said shortly, here is what you need to have in the OnClientShow event of the RadWindow:
function OnClientShow()
{
$find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID %>").onParentNodeChanged();
}
To edit Html code only you can add -
EnableTextareaMode="true"
Add this property to the RadEditor.
I suspect that the way the control tries to interpret the html might be one of the problems. The other thing that may be causing this problem is the page life cycle.

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.

HTML helpers in ASP.NET MVC 3 with Javascsript action

I have many HTML helper in Helpers.cshtml file, but some of the helper (html) need some jquery action, so how do i can call jquery inside helpers.cshtml, is that possible?
i know we can keep the js file in header or particular page, but i do not want to do like that, i want to use jquery or javascript only on the page which loaded particular helper.
anyone have idea on this?
My scenario is, i have list box control, that is properly loading from helper, but i need to apply custom theme to the list box.
Little more Clarity
//in index.cshtml
#Helpers.testListBox("mylist" "1,2,3,4,5,6,7")
//in Helpers.cshtml
#helper testListBox(string listName, string listData){
//...... HTML code .........
//Javascript here?
}
With Web Forms, the framework could automatically include Javascript (once) when certain server controls were used on a page; ASP.Net MVC has no such facility. It sounds like this is what you're missing.
The way to do it is on the client. Look at RequireJS at http://requirejs.org/. This is a client-side library for managing Javascript dependencies. This does what Web Forms did, but better, and it does more. Your master layout will have a script tag like this:
<script src="/Scripts/require.js" type="text/javascript" data-main="/Scripts/main"></script>
This can be the only script tag you include on every page. Everything else can be dynamically loaded only as needed by RequireJS. It's true that you load this on every page, but it's smaller than jQuery, and it earns its place because it does so much for you.
Using your example, let's say you have this markup:
#Helpers.testListBox("mylist" "1,2,3,4,5,6,7")
and it renders HTML and needs jQuery scripting. You would render this:
// HTML for list box here
<script type="text/javascript>
require(['jquery'], function($) {
// Do your jQuery coding here:
$("myList").doSomething().whatever();
});
</script>
The require function will load jQuery, unless it has already been loaded, and then execute your code. It's true that your jQuery snippet is repeated once per use of the HTML helper, but that's not a big deal; that code should be short.
RequireJS manages dependencies effectively; you can have module A, and module B which dependes on A, and module C which depends on B. When your client code asks for module C, A and B will be loaded along with C, and in the correct order, and only once each. Furthermore, except for the initial load of require.js, scripts are loaded asynchronously, so your page rendering is not delayed by script loading.
When it's time to deploy your site on the web server, there's a tool that will examine the dependencies among the Javascript files and combine them into one or a small number of files, and then minimize them. None of your markup has to change at all. While in development, you can work with lots of small, modular Javascript files for easy debugging, and when you deploy, they are combined and minimized for efficiency.
This is much better than what the web forms framework did, and entirely client-side, which in my opinion is where it belongs.
You can put a <script> tag in the helper body.
How about this for an example of a partial view:
#model Member.CurrentMemberModel
#{
var title = "Test View";
}
<script type="text/javascript">
// Javascript goes in here, you can even add properties using "#" symbol
$(document).ready(function () {
//Do Jquery stuff here
});
</script>
#if (currentMember != null)
{
<div>Hello Member</div>
}
else
{
<div>You are not logged in</div>
}

How to load javascript including jquery commands from database

I am building a cms in C# (.NET) and all content is stored in the database. This includes on-page css and on-page js code. The issue I have is that the handler that loads the js script is processed before the page template so if the js includes any jquery object commands, they throw an error because jquery itself has not been loaded and initialized yet.
For example, my template has a line on the master page near the top like...
<script src="/scripts/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
as you might expect. Then, further down I load page-specific js code like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/Handlers/ServeJsByID.ashx?pgsid=<%=pgsID %>&jsid=<%=jsID %>"></script>
where pgsID is the id of the current page and jsID is the id of the javascript record I want to load.
I assume this has something to do with the lifecycle of the .NET page but I have no idea how to force the js load through the handler to occur AFTER the page has already loaded and processed the jquery.js file.
I tried using Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript in the code behind but still get 'Object Expected" errors.
How can I load javascript in code behind and have it processed AFTER the jquery file is loaded?
If you try this:
$.getScript("http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/color/jquery.color.js", function() {
$("#go").click(function(){
$(".block").animate( { backgroundColor: "pink" }, 1000)
.delay(500)
.animate( { backgroundColor: "blue" }, 1000);
});
});

asp.net Refresh base page from iframe

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>");
