How to make TinyMCE work inside an UpdatePanel? - c#

I'm trying to do something that many people seem to have been able to do but which I am unable to implement any solution. The TinyMCE control works pretty well in an asp.net form until you enclose it with an UpdatePanel, which then breaks after postback. I have tried some fixes like the RegisterClientScriptBlock method, but am still unsuccessful, I still lose the tinyMCE control after postback.
Below is a full test project (VS 2008) provided with a Control outside UpdatePanel and one inside, with a button on each to generate postback. Also in the project I have a EditorTest control which include commented code of some calls I tried, in case it gives anyone any ideas.
CODE SAMPLE
Here are some sources for some solutions on the MCE forum :
AJAX
UpdatePanel

To execute the init everytime the UpdatePanel changes you need to register the script using ScriptManager:
// control is your UpdatePanel
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(control, control.GetType(), control.UniqueID, "your_tinymce_initfunc();", true);
NOTE: You cannot use exact mode on your init function, you can use either textareas or a class selector, or else it won't work properly.
You also have to use
ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this, this.GetType(), "", "tinyMCE.triggerSave();");
On a postback of a UpdatePanel the editor content isn't saved on the Textbox, because the default behavior is only for form.submit, so when you submit anything it will save the text before it posts.
On the code behind to get the value you will just need to access TextBox.Text property.
NOTE: If you are using the .NET GZipped you probably will have to drop it, I couldn't get it working, I had to remove this completely.

Ok, your problem is two fold. Stefy supplied you with part of the answer, which is you have to initialize TinyMCE on the postback by registering startup script like so:
using System.Web.UI;
namespace TinyMCEProblemDemo
{
public partial class EditorClean : UserControl
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page,
this.Page.GetType(), mce.ClientID, "callInt" + mce.ClientID + "();", true);
}
}
}
The second problem you have is with your implementation of a custom control. Designing custom controls is out of scope of this answer. Google can help you there.
You have multiple instances of your control on the page which can cause you issues with script, as it get rendered multiple times. This is how I modified your markup to solve your issue(notice dynamic naming of your script functions, custom controls should be self contained and mode: "exact" on the tinyMCE.init):
<%# Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="EditorClean.ascx.cs"
Inherits="TinyMCEProblemDemo.EditorClean" %>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Editor/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myCustomCleanup<%= mce.ClientID%>(type, value) {
if (type == "insert_to_editor") {
value = value.replace(/</gi, "<");
value = value.replace(/>/gi, ">");
}
return value;
}
function myCustomSaveContent<%= mce.ClientID%>(element_id, html, body) {
html = html.replace(/</gi, "<");
html = html.replace(/>/gi, ">");
return html;
}
function callInt<%= mce.ClientID%>() {
tinyMCE.init({
mode: "exact",
elements: "<%= mce.ClientID%>",
theme: "advanced",
skin: "o2k7",
plugins: "inlinepopups,paste,safari",
theme_advanced_buttons1: "fontselect,fontsizeselect,|,forecolor,backcolor,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword",
theme_advanced_buttons2: "",
theme_advanced_buttons3: "",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align: "left",
cleanup_callback: "myCustomCleanup<%= mce.ClientID%>",
save_callback: "myCustomSaveContent<%= mce.ClientID%>"
});
}
</script>
<textarea runat="server" id="mce" name="editor" cols="50" rows="15">Enter your text here...</textarea>

This solution no longer works for TinyMCE 4.2.3. Instead of using tinymce.mceRemoveControl() you now need to use tinymce.remove(). Here is a full working example:
The Page
<%# Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/Frame.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="FullImplementation.aspx.cs"
Inherits="TinyMCE" ValidateRequest="false" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphContent" Runat="Server">
<asp:ScriptManager runat="server"/>
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="upUpdatPanel">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="tbHtmlEditor" TextMode="MultiLine">
Default editor text
</asp:TextBox>
<asp:Dropdownlist runat="server" ID="ddlTest" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlTest_SelectedIndexChanged">
<Items>
<asp:ListItem Text="A"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="B"></asp:ListItem>
</Items>
</asp:Dropdownlist>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="butSaveEditorContent" OnClick="butSaveEditorContent_Click" Text="Save Html Content"/>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
/* initial load of editor */
LoadTinyMCE();
});
/* wire-up an event to re-add the editor */
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler_Page);
/* fire this event to remove the existing editor and re-initialize it*/
function EndRequestHandler_Page(sender, args) {
//1. Remove the existing TinyMCE instance of TinyMCE
tinymce.remove( "#<%=tbHtmlEditor.ClientID%>");
//2. Re-init the TinyMCE editor
LoadTinyMCE();
}
function BeforePostback() {
tinymce.triggerSave();
}
function LoadTinyMCE() {
/* initialize the TinyMCE editor */
tinymce.init({
selector: "#<%=tbHtmlEditor.ClientID%>",
plugins: "link, autolink",
default_link_target: "_blank",
toolbar: "undo redo | bold italic | link unlink | cut copy paste | bullist numlist",
menubar: false,
statusbar: false
});
}
</script>
</asp:Content>
The Code-Behind:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class TinyMCE : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// we have to tell the editor to re-save the date on Submit
if (!ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).IsInAsyncPostBack)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this, this.GetType(), "SaveTextBoxBeforePostBack", "SaveTextBoxBeforePostBack()");
}
}
protected void butSaveEditorContent_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string htmlEncoded = WebUtility.HtmlEncode(tbHtmlEditor.Text);
}
private void SaveToDb(string htmlEncoded)
{
/// save to database column
}
protected void ddlTest_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}

The correct way to make tinyMCE work in an updatepanel:
1) Create a handler for the OnClientClick of your "submit" button.
2) Run tinyMCE.execCommand("mceRemoveControl", false, '<%= txtMCE.ClientID %>'); in the handler, so as to remove the tinyMCE instance before the postback.
3) In your async postback, use the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript to run tinyMCE.execCommand("mceAddControl", true, '<%= txtMCE.ClientID %>');
Basically, all you need to do is use the mceRemoveControl command before the async postback and register a startup script to run the mceAddControl command after the async postback. Not too tough.

I did the following:
First I added the this Javascript to my page:
<script type="text/javascript">
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(endRequestHandler);
function endRequestHandler(sender,args)
{
tinyMCE.idCounter=0;
tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddControl',false,'htmlContent');
}
function UpdateTextArea()
{
tinyMCE.triggerSave(false,true);
}
</script>
Because I'm creating an ASP.NET and using and ASP.NET Button in my page, I had to add the following to the Page Load:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "UpdateTextArea()");
}

This is an old question, but after hours searching and messing around looking for the answer, I feel obligated to post the solution I came up with.
It appears that, at least in the implementation I'm using (multiple editors inside an UpdatePanel) that tinyMCE must be informed the control is going away when the UpdatePanel submits, or else it will refuse to load it again.
So, in addition to the code to Init TinyMCE (which only needs to run when the whole page loads) you need to do this for each of your MCE textboxes:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), elm1.UniqueID+"Add",
"tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddControl', true,'" + elm1.ClientID + "');", true);
ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this, this.GetType(), elm1.UniqueID + "Remove",
"tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveControl', true,'" + elm1.ClientID + "');");
elm1 is whatever the tinyMCE element is. Mine is a textarea residing in a UserControl, but you can apply it to any item you want to bind/unbind your textarea.

Updating the answer to this question for those using .NET framework 4, I was successful in attaching TinyMCE to a TextBox inside an update panel by inserting the following:
In markup within the <head></head> region:
<script src="scripts/tinymce/tinymce.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
selector: ".tinymcetextarea",
mode: "textareas",
plugins: [
"advlist autolink link image lists charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak spellchecker",
"searchreplace visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen autoresize insertdatetime media nonbreaking",
"save table contextmenu directionality emoticons template paste textcolor",
"autosave codesample colorpicker image imagetools importcss layer"
],
toolbar: "insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image | print preview media | forecolor backcolor emoticons",
style_formats: [
{ title: 'Bold text', inline: 'b' },
{ title: 'Red text', inline: 'span', styles: { color: '#ff0000' } },
{ title: 'Red header', block: 'h1', styles: { color: '#ff0000' } },
{ title: 'Example 1', inline: 'span', classes: 'example1' },
{ title: 'Example 2', inline: 'span', classes: 'example2' },
{ title: 'Table styles' },
{ title: 'Table row 1', selector: 'tr', classes: 'tablerow1' }
]
});
</script>
In the markup within the <body></body> region:
<asp:TextBox ID="tbContentHtml" CssClass="tinymcetextarea" Wrap="true" runat="server" Width="90%" TextMode="MultiLine" />
And finally in codebehind in the Page_Load event:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), tbContentHtml.UniqueID + "Add", "tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddEditor', true,'" + tbContentHtml.ClientID + "');", true);
ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this, this.GetType(), tbContentHtml.UniqueID + "Remove", "tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveEditor', true,'" + tbContentHtml.ClientID + "');");

Not sure if you've looked at these.

Good luck.

You have to call the initializing method of the TinyMCE whenever the update panel is refreshed.
For this, you have either to call this method (tinyMCE.init) from a RegisterStartupScript method, or to create a page load javascript function in the head section of the page like this:
function pageLoad() {
tinyMCE.init();
}
This function will be executed each time the update panel is refreshed.

i solved this problem as
call tiny mce after the response generation of the ajax call
function edittemp(name) {
xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
if (xmlhttp==null)
{
alert ("Your browser does not support XMLHTTP!");
return;
}
var url="edit_temp.php";
url=url+"?id="+name;
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged3;
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
}
function stateChanged3()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
spl_txt=xmlhttp.responseText.split("~~~");
document.getElementById("edit_message").innerHTML=spl_txt[0];
tinyMCE.init({
theme : "advanced",
mode: "exact",
elements : "elm1",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,separator,"
+ "justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,formatselect,"
+ "bullist,numlist,outdent,indent",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "link,unlink,anchor,image,separator,"
+"undo,redo,cleanup,code,separator,sub,sup,charmap",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
height:"350px",
width:"600px"
});
}
}
and the page caaled by ajax call is
<?php
$name=$_GET['id'];
include 'connection.php';
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `templete` WHERE temp_name='$name' and status=1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$Content=$row['body'];
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>editing using tiny_mce</title>
<script language="..." src="tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce /tiny_mce.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>change the template here</h2>
<form method="post" action="save_temp.php?name=<?php echo $name;?>">
<textarea id="elm1" name="elm1" rows="15" cols="80"><?php echo $Content;?></textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="save" value="Submit" />
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
may be helpful in such situation.

I di this
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function pageLoad(sender, args) {
aplicartinyMCE();
}
function aplicartinyMCE() {
tinyMCE.init({
mode: "specific_textareas",
editor_selector: "mceEditor",
.....
});
}
</script>
That initialize the editor after each asynchronous postback even if
Then in page_load event
ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this, this.GetType(), "salvarEditorMCE", "tinyMCE.triggerSave();");

TinyMCE (as well as other WYSIWYG editors, FCKEditor etc) suffers from postback validation issues. By default any ASP.Net page on postback has its contents checked, and any unencoded HTML throws the postback validation error.
Now many people, including on those forums suggest disabling the postback validation, validaterequest="false" , but this makes you susceptible to scripting attacks, the best thing to do is bind a function to the async postback event that fires off just before async postback. This JavaScript function needs to HTML encode the TinyMCE data being posted back to the server, this will then pass the postback validation and you'll be OK.
I believe TinyMCE and other editors correctly do this on postbacks but not async postbacks hence the issue, in fact if you look at TinyMCE's source you can probably find their function that does this and simply add the event binding.
Hope this helps

call popup panel on page load in asp.net code behind using jquery control

I would like to show the modal window (executed in the JavaScript function below) on page load:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('.popup-wrapper').modalPopLite({
openButton: '.clicker',
closeButton: '#close-btn',
isModal: true
});
});
</script>
<asp:HyperLink ID="clic" Text="ck" runat="server" CssClass="clicker" NavigateUrl="#">
</asp:HyperLink>
<asp:Panel ID="cli" runat="server" CssClass="popup-wrapper" Width="500" Height="500" >
Close
</asp:Panel>
How do I do this in asp.net?
If you want it to show up on every page load, you can use JQuery .ready() function on the document object, which will execute this script when the DOM fully loads. Otherwise, what might be happening is you're executing the function before $('.popup-wrapper').modalPopLite() or whatever is initialized and getting a JavaScript error.
So you'd do this instead:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.popup-wrapper').modalPopLite({
openButton: '.clicker',
closeButton: '#close-btn',
isModal: true
});
});
Now, if you want to only display this on the first page load, and not on any further postbacks, you'll need to tap into C# codebehind:
public partial class SomePage : Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
// The # character denotes a string literal; just makes it easy to
// use multiple lines in this case and keep the inline javascript
// code looking nicely formatted within C#
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "PopModal", #"
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.popup-wrapper').modalPopLite({
openButton: '.clicker',
closeButton: '#close-btn',
isModal: true
});
});"
);
}
}
}

Fire Serverside event from javascript

i have hiddentfield whose value is changing on javascript.
I just wanted to fire serverside event valuechanged event of hiddenfield when its value changed from javascript.
I tried with :
__doPostBack('hfLatitude', 'ValueChanged');
But giving me error :
Microsoft JScript runtime error: '__doPostBack' is undefined
Is there any other alternative for this?
Please help me.
In javascript, changes in value to hidden elements don't automatically fire the "onchange" event. So you have to manually trigger your code that is already executing on postback using "GetPostBackEventReference".
So, with a classic javascript approach, your code should look something like in the example below.
In your aspx/ascx file:
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hID" OnValueChanged="hID_ValueChanged" Value="Old Value" />
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="litMessage"></asp:Literal>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnClientChage" Text="Change hidden value" OnClientClick="ChangeValue(); return false;" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function ChangeValue()
{
document.getElementById("<%=hID.ClientID%>").value = "New Value";
// you have to add the line below, because the last line of the js code at the bottom doesn't work
fValueChanged();
}
function fValueChanged()
{
<%=this.Page.GetPostBackEventReference(hID, "")%>;
}
// the line below doesn't work, this is why you need to manually trigger the fValueChanged methiod
// document.getElementById("<%=hID.ClientID%>").onchange = fValueChanged;
</script>
In your cs file:
protected void hID_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
litMessage.Text = #"Changed to '" + hID.Value + #"'";
}
Quick and Dirty:
Simply put a asp button on form. Set it display:none.
<asp:Button id="xyx" runat="server" style="display:none" OnClick="xyx_Click" />
On its click event call any server side event.
protected void xyx_Click(o,e)
{
//you server side statements
}
To call its from JS use as below:
<script>
function myserverside_call()
{
var o = document.getElementById('<%=xyx.ClientID%>');
o.click();
}
function anyotherjsfunc()
{
//some statements
myserverside_call();
}
</script>
First way is to use HiddenField.ValueChanged Event.
If you want to also watch this varible in Client Side just use this:
$('#hidden_input').change(function() {
alert('value changed');
});
Second way is to assign value to Varible:
$('#hidden_input').val('new_value').trigger('change');

Page.Unload Event inside a Update Panel

I have a Image Button declared as,
<div>
<asp:ImageButton ID="btnDoWork" runat="server" ImageUrl="/_LAYOUTS/1033/IMAGES/row.png" ValidationGroup="Page" />
</div>
<div>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ID="reqName" ControlToValidate="txtEmail" ValidationGroup="Page" ErrorMessage="enter a email" />
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server" ValidationExpression="^([\w\.\-]+)#([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$" ControlToValidate="txtEmail" ValidationGroup="Page" ErrorMessage="enter a email" />
</div>
within a update panel,
now in code behind I am doing something like this,
btnDoWork = (ImageButton)this.control.FindControl("btnDoWork"); //this code is in childcontrols method
btnDoWork.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(btnDoWork_Click);
then
protected void btnDoWork_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
//Process a bit of code and at end,
this.Page.Unload += new EventHandler(Page_Unload_MessageBox);
and then in button click event,
public static void Page_Unload_Page_Unload_MessageBox(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Globalization.CultureInfo _culture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("<script language=\"javascript\">");
sb.Append("$('body').append(\"<div id='M'><span id='text'>" +
SPUtility.GetLocalizedString("$Resources:abc", "def", (uint)_culture.LCID) +
"</span><br/><div id='BB' onclick='return BB();'><a href='' onclick='return BB();'>" +
SPUtility.GetLocalizedString("$Resources:OK", "def", (uint)_culture.LCID) +
"</a></div></div>\");");
sb.Append("function BB() { $('#M').remove(); $('#E').remove(); return false; }");
sb.Append("function dM(){ var browser = navigator.appName; if (browser == 'Netscape') { $('#M').css({ 'top': '5%' }, 500); } }");
sb.Append("</script>");
// Write the JavaScript to the end of the response stream.
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(sb.ToString());
Now if I put email address I get error while when it tries to Response.Write I think, I wonder what alternative is there, e.g. can I use triggers in update panel or any other event or something..
here's the error I am getting now,
Note: I changed all variable names so don't get confused if something doesn't match
The message is very clear, you can not add this command HttpContext.Current.Response.Write on update panel, and that because can not know how to handle it, because the update panel is return a struct that is used by the javascript to redraw some part of the page.
The solution is to add a literal control inside the UpdatePanel, in the place you wish to add the extra html code, and write that control the render as:
txtLiteralID.Text = sb.ToString();
How ever, here you have a diferent situation than the normal, you won to render and run a script.
The main problem is how to trigger the script to run. The only way is to use the UpdatePanel handler that is this standard code:
<script type="text/javascript">
// if you use jQuery, you can load them when dom is read.
$(document).ready(function () {
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();
prm.add_initializeRequest(InitializeRequest);
prm.add_endRequest(EndRequest);
});
function InitializeRequest(sender, args) {
}
function EndRequest(sender, args) {
// after update occur on UpdatePanel run the code.
UnloadMsgBox();
}
</script>
Now on the EndRequest you need to call your script, where it may all read exist in your code as:
function UnloadMsgBox()
{
// render your code of the javascript.
$('body').append(\"<div id='M'><span id='text'></span><br/><div id='BB' onclick='return BB();'><a href='' onclick='return BB();'></a></div></div>\");
function BB() { $('#M').remove(); $('#E').remove(); return false; }"
function dM(){ var browser = navigator.appName; if (browser == 'Netscape') { $('#M').css({ 'top': '5%' }, 500); } }"
}
and not need to render it on UpdatePanel.
To summarize:
On the update panel you can not use the Response.Write to render something but a literal control, that renders inside him.
On the update panel you can not render javascript code and expect to run, to run a javascript code you need to use the EndRequest handler that comes with the UpdatePanel.
MS Ajax calls perform full page rendering, calculate the diff from the original, send the diff to the client, and magically merge the diff in the browser.
If you just send javascript as response, it's something the framework does not expect and it throws the message.
See a previous answer on how to invoke javascript from an UpdatePanel.

Get variable & keep changes after postback

This question is related to: Hide div on clientside click
The issue I am having is that after postback event from asp.net happens onClick any clientside changes made reset how can I keep the client side changes I am making.
Second question how can I get a variable from code behind and pass it into my javascript to perform a comparison.
Html:
<div runat="server" id="someDiv1" enableviewstate="true" >
<asp:LinkButton OnClientClick="Show_Hide_Display()"
ID="lbtnDiv1"
runat="server"
CausesValidation="true"
OnClick="lbtn_onClickServer">
</asp:LinkButton>
</div>
<div runat="server" class="tick" id="div2" style="display:none;" enableviewstate="true">
</div>
Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function Show_Hide_Display() {
var div1 = document.getElementById("<%=someDiv1.ClientID%>");
var div2 = document.getElementById("<%=div2.ClientID %>");
if (div1.style.display == "" || div1.style.display == "block") {
div1.style.display = "none";
div2.style.display = "block";
}
else {
div1.style.display = "block";
div2.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>
The OnClick event causes a postback like it should, on this occassion it checks if users, chosen username is available.
If it is available show a tick, if it isn't error.
I got the error working and am trying to program the tick on client side.
So OnClientClick I am able to toggle between some text and a tick. So I need to:
Get the bool result from code behind
After postback keep tick (if username is available)
I am almost there but can't quite figure the last two points out.
If you are using an UpdatePanel in your page, and assuming that div which you are trying to toggle is outside the control, you can always inject javascript on a partial postback:
Like for e.g. on your button's click event which executes on a partial postback make a call to ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock() --> How to retain script block on a partial postback?
Alternatively, you can append an end request handler. This is some javascript which should run after the partial postback. --> ASP.NET Register Script After Partial Page Postback (UpdatePanel)
The answer for the both questions lies of checking the boolean value send from the code behind.
1-----.in code-behind c#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
var linkbtn = (Button)Page.FindControl("lbtnDiv1");
linkbtn .Attributes.Add("onClick", "Show_Hide_Display('" + parameter+ "')");
}
2------- change your javascript
function Show_Hide_Display(parameter)
{
if( paramater=='true')
{
----your logic---
}
else
{
----your logic
}
}

UpdatePanel and Javascript

I have inline script such as this, which toggles between an edit and a display divs. If it is inside the the UpdatePanel it requires two click before it works. If I remove the UpdatePanel it works fine with a single click.
Edit
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
EDIT:
Edit function:
function edit(e, id) {
var editdiv = $('#' + id).find('.edit');
var cntdiv = $('#' + id).find('.content');
if (editdiv.css('visibility') == 'hidden') {
editdiv.css('visibility') == 'visible'
cntdiv.css('visibility') == 'hidden'
cntdiv.hide();
editbox.show()
}
else {
editdiv.css('visibility') == 'hidden'
cntdiv.css('visibility') == 'visible'
cntbox.show();
editbox.hide()
}
stopEventBubble(e); // Code to cancel event bubbling;
}
Are you using the ScriptManager to register the edit function?
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string jsEdit = #"function edit(event, id) {}";
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, GetType(), "editFunction", jsEdit);
}
If your code is in an external file, you can register it with the ScriptManager or the ScriptManagerProxy in the aspx for your page:
<ScriptManager runat="server" id="ScriptManager1">
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference path="~/js/edit.js" />
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>
EDIT:
alright, I know what the issue is now. You aren't setting the css visibility to begin with. So either you need to set the css visibility or you can modify your edit function to follow the following logic:
function edit(e, id) {
var editdiv = $('#' + id).find('.edit');
var cntdiv = $('#' + id).find('.content');
//I reversed it to look for visible instead of hidden. The main problem with this approach and your other approach is that the original value is inherited.
if (editdiv.css('visibility') == 'visible') {
editdiv.css('visibility') == 'hidden'
cntdiv.css('visibility') == 'visible'
cntbox.show();
editbox.hide()
}
else {
editdiv.css('visibility') == 'visible'
cntdiv.css('visibility') == 'hidden'
cntdiv.hide();
editbox.show()
}
stopEventBubble(e); // Code to cancel event bubbling;
}
The other option will require you to set the following in you "edit" and "content" divs.
<div id="edit" style="visibility:hidden"> ... </div>
<div id="content" style="visibility:visible"> ... </div>
If you need further help, I'll need to see your aspx code concerning the UpdatePanel, edit, and content.
Try this:
Edit
Edit
As Chris said:
If you are injecting the function when you click the Edit link the function won't exist the first time you click an Edit link.
What you could do is add the function inside a <script> tag in the <head> section of the markup:
<head>
<script>
function edit(event, id) {
// Your code here
}
</script>
</head>
Or in a separate .js file.
