Click on Enter on Jtable edit/create record do not submit jtable form

I have been using JTable in my aspx pages and all seems well, but on a certain content page, when I try to edit or Add an item in Jtable, and by default I press Enter, the UI becomes vague. Before pressing Enter while Updating Jtable row.
All I want is to when I click Enter, submit jtable , simulate click on Save button on edit and create form.
I can use this:
formCreated: function (event, data) {
data.form.find('input[type="text"]').keydown(function (event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
$('#AddRecordDialogSaveButton').click();
$('#EditDialogSaveButton').click();
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
})
}
but I must copy that on every jquery jtable form. Is there any simplest way?

I love to share my solution for this problem whit all people who need this:
$(window).keydown(function (event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
event.preventDefault();
$('#AddRecordDialogSaveButton').click();
$('#EditDialogSaveButton').click();
return false;
}
});

jQuery Confirm Replacement In A Simple Situation [duplicate]

Following up from this question, I'm trying to implement an unobtrusive confirm dialog.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("[data-confirmPrompt]").click(function (event) {
var confirmPrompt = event.currentTarget.attributes['data-confirmPrompt'].value;
event.preventDefault();
$.prompt(confirmPrompt, {
buttons: { Yes: true, No: false },
callback: function (v, m, f) {
if (v) {
// User clicked Yes. Unbind handler to avoid
// recursion, then click the target element again
$(event.currentTarget).unbind('click');
event.currentTarget.click();
}
}
});
});
});
When the user has clicked on "Yes", I want the default action associated with the event to execute. I've done it above by unbinding the jQuery handler, and clicking the element again. This works fine when submitting a form or navigating to a different page - but of course does not work in AJAX-enabled pages, where I want to keep the jQuery event handler.
Is there an alternative generic way to execute the default action? Logically something like event.executeDefault().

Using the suggestion Alexey Lebedev made in his second comment, my current implementation now looks like the sample below, except that I've also added my own implementation of localization for the button labels.
Notes:
I'm now using a jqueryUI dialog widget
Note the use of .delegate so that the handler is "ajax-aware", i.e. works on elements added to the DOM after the page is loaded, e.g. as a result of an AJAX call
Uses a flag to prevent recursion when the user clicks Yes on the confirm dialog.
Uses jquery 1.6.4 and jquery-ui-1.8.16
If anyone can suggest improvements, please chime in.
<!-- Examples of usage -->
<input type='submit' data-confirm="OK to delete customer 123?" ... />
<a href="..." data-confirm="OK to navigate?" ... />
<!-- Implementation -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var confirmClickHandler = function (event) {
if ($(event.currentTarget).data('isConfirming')) return;
var message = event.currentTarget.attributes['data-confirm'].value;
event.preventDefault();
$('<div></div>')
.html(message)
.dialog({
title: "Confirm",
buttons: {
"Yes": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
$(event.currentTarget).data('isConfirming', true);
event.currentTarget.click();
$(event.currentTarget).data('isConfirming', null);
},
"No": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
modal: true,
resizable: false,
closeOnEscape: true
});
};
$(document).ready(function () {
$("body").delegate("[data-confirm]", "click", confirmClickHandler);
});
</script>

I'm doing something similar and this works fine for me:
$('#link').click(function(e){
if(!confirm('Are you sure you want to asdf?')){
e.preventDefault();
}
});

I honestly don't know if this answers your question, but it might help a bit.
Consider the following HTML:
<button onclick="alert('Hello world!');" class="btn">Test 1</button>
<button onclick="alert(this.className);" class="btn">Test 2</button>
I've added the following to my $(document).ready:
$('button').each(function() {
var btn = $(this);
var onClick = btn.attr('onclick');
//replace this with _this
onClick = onClick.replace(/this/g, "_this");
btn.attr('onclick', '');
btn.click(function() {
if (confirm('Do it?')) {
//set _this first!
var _this = btn[0];
eval(onClick);
}
});
});
It seems to get the job done. Check this jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/KeesCBakker/4jThg/.
EDIT
I've created something that looks more like your question: http://jsfiddle.net/KeesCBakker/hqLH5/. Just couldn't figure out which $.prompt plugin your were using, so I grabbed the first one I've found from github (this one only works in Chrome :S).

I was able to achieve this by calling event.stopPropagation() from a more specific context, and ensuring that I don't call event.preventDefault(). While you can't call the default action explicitly, you can set up the conditions so that the default action happens — and do as little or as much else as you wish.
// Normal event handler
$("[data-toggle]").click(ev => {
switchToTab(ev.currentTarget)
ev.preventDefault()
})
// Allow default handler in a specific case.
$("[data-toggle] ul a").click(ev => {
// Don't bubble the event to the less specific handler, above
ev.stopPropagation()
// An incorrect return value will also cancel the default action.
return true
})

Display panel over another panel for web app

I was looking for an answer, but could not find anything helpfull yet.
I have a gridview with some data (from SQL database) and an option to delete a row. Before deleting the row I want the user to confirm the delete (pupup window). I know how to create a popup with javascript, but I don't like the apperance of that popup. I would like to make ky own "popup".
I was thinking of overlaying one panel (where I put text (Label) and some buttons (OK, Cancel)) over the panel where I have the gridview. Something like in the picture. How would I accomplish something like that?

How about using the Ajax control toolkit popup?

This seems to do exactly what you are looking for for you.

What about JQueryUI dialog with custom styling?

Use the jQuery UI dialog
Example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var $dialog = $("#dialog");
var $foo = $("input:submit[id$=foo]");
var confirmed = false;
$dialog.hide();
$dialog.dialog({
width: "300px",
modal: true,
autoOpen: false,
buttons: {
OK: function (e) {
$dialog.dialog("close");
confirmed = true;
$foo.click();
},
Cancel: function (e) {
$dialog.dialog("close");
confirmed = false;
}
}
});
$foo.click(function (e) {
if (!confirmed) {
$dialog.dialog("open");
}
return confirmed;
});
});
</script>

Bound javascript function

Alright my basic question is how do I simulate a button click in javascript.
I know I have to use document.getElementById("btnSubmit").click(); but this doesn't seem to call the onClientClick javascript function as well.
Enviorment:
I am using ASP.NET with C# and javascript.
What happened:
I have an input text area and I want to make sure that users must enter a character before the submit button is enabled. I was able to do this with onkeypress="validateTxt();" which then called this function
function validateTxt() {
var input = document.getElementById("<%=txtUserName.ClientID %>").value;
//Need a min of 3 characters
if(input.length > 1)
{
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = true;
}
}
The only problem though is doesn't register backspace.
To solve this I found this online
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementsByName('txtUserName')[0].onkeydown = function (event) {
if (event === undefined) event = window.event; // fix IE
if (event.keyCode === 8)
validateTxt();
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").click();
}
};
Now whenever the user presses the backspace my javascript function is called. This worked great up until I found out that when I press enter from the text area it wouldn't call my javascript function.
Here is all of the relevant code...
<script type="text/javascript">
function InformUser()
{
window.document.getElementById("loadingMessageDIV").style.display = "block";
<%=Page.GetPostBackEventReference(btnSubmit as Control)%>
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = true;
}
function validateTxt() {
var input = document.getElementById("<%=txtUserName.ClientID %>").value;
//Need a min of 3 characters
if(input.length > 1)
{
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = true;
}
}
</script>
Here is the text area + javascript bounding function
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUserName" runat="server" Font-Size="11pt" onkeypress="validateTxt();"></asp:TextBox>
<script type="text/javascript">
//We bind the textbox to this function and whenever the backspace key is pressed it will validateTxt
document.getElementsByName('txtUserName')[0].onkeydown = function (event) {
if (event === undefined) event = window.event; // fix IE
if (event.keyCode === 8)
validateTxt();
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").click();
}
};
</script>
Here is the submit button
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" OnClientClick="InformUser();" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"
Text="Login" Font-Bold="True" Enabled="True" />
<script type="text/javascript">
//Disable the button until we have some actual input
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = true;
</script>
So to recap it does press the button, but it fails to disable it as well. I even tried to call the InformUser directly when the user presses enter and then press the button, but that didn't work either.
I know it has something to do with how I bound the javascript function to the text area because when I take it out it works.
Thanks for the help

If what you're really trying to do is enable/disable the submit button based on the amount of text in the text area, then it would be simplest just to check the length every time it's changed.
Would you be able to use jQuery? If you can, it's a trivial problem, as jQuery normalises keyboard events so you don't have to worry about different browsers raising different events.
As a simple experiment, I created a jsFiddle with this HTML:
<textarea id="txt"></textarea>
<label id="count" />
and this JavaScript:
$('#txt').keyup(function () {
$('#count').text($('#txt').val().length);
});
On every keyup (I used keyup rather than keydown or keypress as keyup fires after the text has been modified) the length is updated. This registers normal keys, backspace, delete, enter, etc, and works in FF and IE8.
In your case, you'd obviously change the function to enable/disable the submit button.

JQuery custom event in ASP.Net User Control

I have an ASP.Net user control that contains some checkboxes, and I want to use JQuery to raise an event from the user control when one of the checkboxes is clicked. Here is the JQuery code in the user control where I'm trying to raise the event:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(':checkbox').click(function(){
$('#hfRemainingInstalls').trigger('CheckBoxClicked');
});
});
and here is the JQuery code in the containing aspx page where I'm trying to subscribe to the event:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("p").bind('CheckBoxClicked', function(e) {
alert("checkbox clicked");
});
});
I'm never seeing my alert when I click on one of the checkboxes. Anyone know what might be the problem here?

I am sure you have an ID problem. ASP.NET controls that reside inside of container elements such as UserControls and MasterPages, when rendered, have some junk prefixed to the id attribute to ensure uniqueness. It is usually something like "ctl01_01_YourID" That said, you should probably be using the jQuery endsWith selector...
$('input[id$=hfRemainingInstalls]').trigger('CheckBoxClicked');
The following will alert "true" if the element is found...
alert($('#hfRemainingInstalls').length > 0);

so is there a relationship between the Id tags P and Id hfRemainingInstalls
1: Solution
$(':checkbox').click(function(){
$("p").trigger('CheckBoxClicked');
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("p").bind('CheckBoxClicked', function(e) {
alert("checkbox clicked");
});
});
2: Solution
$(':checkbox').click(function(){
$("#hfRemainingInstalls").trigger('CheckBoxClicked');
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#hfRemainingInstalls").bind('CheckBoxClicked', function(e) {
alert("checkbox clicked");
});
});
