AJAX :: Highlight Contents Of Textbox With MaskedEditExtender?
Oct 6, 2010
I have a TextBox using the AjaxControlToolkit's MaskedEditExtender, the extender is using the Date mask (99/99/9999). We had modified the toolkit code to support 2-digit year (as seen in this post) which works just fine when the date TextBox initially has no value. But when the date TextBox has an existing date such as 10/04/2010, if I type in say 100409, it becomes 10/04/0910, in other words it doesn't replace the existing year but simply replace the first 2 digits of the year. If I first hightlight the entire field then type then it works. My question is is there a way to hightlight the entire date value of the TextBox upon entering the field?
I tried using javascript code textbox.focus() and .selet() but it doesn't highlight anything, it just places the cursor at the beginning of the textbox.
I am using the AJAX Toolkit MaskedEditExtender to format some of my web form's textboxes. When I load the page and start to enter data into the textboxes, the masking doesn't show. I've included my page code below:
i want to get the contents of a textbox and set them to a asp label for output, we can cause a postback to if that makes it easier, so far i did this and it comes up trumps
I have a master/detail scheme for editing an asp:GridView using an asp:DetailsView. One of my fields is for a phone number of type int64 (always 10 digits). I would like this field to always be displayed as (###)###-####. My issue is the first digit in the phone number is always truncated for my edit item field which I used a MaskedEditExtender to achieve the formatting.
When my details view is displayed for editing, the text box displays(_23)456-7890 for the integer 1234567890. Also worth noting that if the property MaskType="Number" is removed, the textbox shows:
(234)567-890_. I would of course have the textbox show (123)-546-67890 after binding.
I've set Culture="auto" UICulture="auto" in @Page directive and EnableScriptGlobalization="true" EnableScriptLocalization="true" in script manager to have client culture specific date format in my textbox.
I also have a Go button on my page on which I will do a partial post back. So, I want to validate the FromDateTextBox in javascript when the Go button is clicked.
UPDATE
I know how to create a javascript click handler. But because masked editor is already validating the date on focus shift, I'm thinking there should be some boolean property (like IsValid) exposed by it which will allow me to see if the text box contains valid date.
FURTHER TRIALS
I also tried below code and Page_Validators[f].isvalid always returns true even when the date is invalid and MaskEditValidator shows me a red star near the Text box.
function isDateValid() { var b = true; for (var f = 0; f < Page_Validators.length; f++) { if (!Page_Validators[f].isvalid) b = false; } return b; } $('#GoButton').click(function() { if (!isDateValid()) { return false; } loadProducts(); });
I am using MaskedEditExtender so that user can enter date inside textbox with specified mask like "DD/MM/YYYY".
i am facing problem when i am trying to assign value within text box from some string variable while when i am directly typing value within text box it's successfully enter like "28/06/2010"
How can i assign value within masked text box from variable. For mask text box i am using MaskedEditExtender of AJAX.
I'm trying to highlight the content of a textbox when it gets focus. I make a selection from a dropdown and the focus is moved to the texbox, I would like the current content of the texbox to be highlighted. How is this done?
Just wondering if it is possible to programatically highlight all the text within a textbox.
Specifically, I have a text box with validation. If an error is thrown, I set the focus to the specified textbox, but the way it works now the user starts typing and none of the text that already exists disappears. I'm wondering if I can make it so that if the error is thrown, not only is the focus set to the textbox, but the text within the textbox is selected, so that if they simply start typing all of the old text disappears, or they can click and retype a single character if necessary.
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 webapp (with C#). I wanted to add a button which, when clicked would highlight selected text. By 'highlight', I mean change the CSS properties of the text so that it can stand out. I think this can be done with some clientside JavaScript.I know that you can assign a Javascript function to the onclick event of an HTML input button, but since I'm not very proficient at JS the function itself I have no idea how to write
textbox1 = "Hello bob, How are you" textbox2 = "Hello cad, how are you"
I have looped through each text box and know that the area I want to highlight on textBox 2 is between the charaters 7 and 9. How do I highlight only these characters as Bold and with a yellow background?
I have one webapplication(.net2.0)c#.My page has one dropdownlist which is very huge sometimes it contains many records which is difficult for the users to view the data they exactly looking for.What we want to do now is we want to add a textbox on the top of the dropdown and once user enter any data on textbox we want to select the firstrow in the dropdown which start from the letter they entered in textbox.Can this achieved some way either in c# or javascript.
I've an aspx page with a couple of textboxes, one of which is populated with text from a sqlserver, is it possible to highlight certain words within the text box that match a search critrea? I've opted for textbox to display the text as that seems to be the only control that will format the text correctly. Incidently I'm using vb.net as my code behind
I have one Textbox, Dropdownlist and a button on web form. When i type one of Dropdown list values in text box and click on "Button" dropdown value should be highlighted. How do i do this?
Ex:
Assume one of the values in Dropdownlist is "TX-Texas"
If i type same value (.i.e.) TX-Texas in Textbox and click on Button..the value "TX-Texas" in dropdownlist should be highlighted?
I want masked ComboBox, so I use a MaskedEditExtenderwith a ComboBox. The two controls came from the ajax control toolkit. But I got an error: "Unable to cast object of type 'AjaxControlToolkit.ComboBox' to type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox'". Is there a way a can use a MaskedEditExtender with a combo box?
i wanted to know how i could go about selecting all the values of the textbox in one click, and then auto copying it.
So basically, the textbox is a read only, and has text inside, but when the user clicks the textbox, it will highlight the text in the textbox, and autocopy it.
I am using MaskedEditExtender on my textbox.Set the masktype to number.Now the user can enter decimals also at any place to my textbox.Is it possible for my MaskedEditExtender to still accept that or I have to use custom javascript/ regex for this.
I'm having a really strange issue with the MaskedEditExtnder. I've attached some markup for one of the textboxes. I'm using a MaskedEditExtender and MaskedEditValidator along with a CalendarExtender so the user has the option to type the date or click on an image and pick the date.
So, if I enter/pick a date then select a control that forces a postback (usually a dropdownlist but not always) when the page is returned the focus goes back to the textbox I just entered the date in. So what about the MaskedEdit, MaskedEditValidator, CalendarExtender would cause the page to return focus to the control being extended? See markup below - am I missing something??
I'm having a issue with a MaskedEditExtender, I am using it for a datetime field with the sqltable field definition as smalldatetime, I have several error messages such as emptyvalue error message, minimium value error message along with a few others.
Everything works fine until i put a maximium value, on selecting either insert or edit it throws the error even if the date entered is between the minimium value and the maximium value and will not go away. As you are aware smalldatetime has a max value of 06/06/2079 which won't be a issue in my lifetime but for validation purposes I want to make sure the user doesn't accidentally enter a value larger than the max value thus causing an error on insert or edit.
I've inherited a web project from another company, and I'm having a weird issue with a phone number mask.
If the ClearMaskOnLostFocus is "true", I lose the mask in the edit field (this is a editing screen for an existing record). If set to false, the mask is present, but the leading digit is truncated, and will write back to the DB an incorrect number if submitted, with that leading "_".
True = 8885551212 False=(_88)-555-1212 The DB field a a varchar(20) -- don't ask me why. <asp:MaskedEditExtender ID="MaskedEditExtender3" runat="server" learMaskOnLostFocus="true" MaskType="Number" Enabled="True" Mask="(999) 999-9999" TargetControlID="Phone_Number"> </asp:MaskedEditExtender>
I'm recently back at work after a long layoff period, and my ASP is a little rusty.
