ASP.NET Validation Issue - DropDownList Being Populated Dynamically On Client?
Apr 28, 2010
I'm populating a DropDownList using JS on the client and validating with a RequiredFieldValidator.This works fine on the client but the Page.IsValid consistently comes back false on the server.Is this because the selected value wasn't in the DropDownList when it was first served to the page?What's the easiest way around this? (I need to leave server validation turned on)
I have two drop down lists on my page. One (DropDownList A) has the values preset by me. The other (DropDownList B) has its values filled by a database query if a button is pressed. Each of them have AutoPostBack set to true. Each of them have corresponding onselectedindexchanged functions. DropDownList A works fine. When I change it, I want it to turn itself invisible. It does. DropwDownList B is not working. When I select something, it does the postback but the selected item is reset and the onselectedindexchanged function is never called. I feel like this is a problem I've solved in the past, but it's been 3 years since I programmed ASP.NET. All this is done in C# by the way.
i am currently working on a webform that has several dynamically populated dropdown lists. this works just fine, however, i have other web controls that require to have a postback..and at the time the page postsback, it reloads my dropdownlists, reseting whatever option i had chosen...
Item Selected in MediaTypeDDL determines values in MediaFormatDDL. I'm using Javascript to populate MediaFormatDDL. This is working. I now select the item I want from MediaFormatDDL. That works The problem I'm seeing occurs when I press the button to save the values from the screen. I don't see the Item I selected from MediaTypeDDL. All the other fields are okay. This must be someThing simple, but I'm not seeing it.
I have a gridview which contains a templatefield. Inside this is an ImageButton and a dropdownlist. This is all created in the aspx page, although the ddl list items are populated in the RowDataBound event in the vb page. When i change the selected item in the drop down list and hit the imagebutton, the selected item is not maintained after postback. Instead the first record is displayed in the dropdownlist. I have wrapped an If Not Page.IsPostback around the datasource and databind's but this doesn't help. I have tried enabling viewstate in all areas on the page too, but still nothing. The list items for the ddl must be created on RowDataBound also. As far as I am aware, my ddl is not really dynamic, its just the list items which I add in the code behind which are classed as dynamic.
n a form I have multiple group of controls which are grouped using validation group property. I want to assign validation group to asp.Button dynamically on client side using javascript on the base of item selected in drop down list.
Here is JavaScript which I am using, but it is not working. It shows validation group undefined but actually a default group is defined.
<script type="text/JavaScript"> function NextClicked() { var _ddlStatus = document.getElementById("<%=ddl.ClientID%>"); var _selectedIndex = _ddlStatus.selectedIndex; var _btn = document.getElementById("<%=btnNext.ClientID%>");
alert(_btn.ValidationGroup); // here in messge it shows undefiend, yet I have defiend a group in button as default.
if (_selectedIndex == 1) { _btn.ValidationGroup = "G1"; } if (_selectedIndex == 2) { _btn.ValidationGroup = "G2"; } }
I have a form in MVC3 that includes a check box to copy data if it is the same as a previous form. If the checkbox is checked, it populates the text box with the content from the hidden field. Here's a sample to illustrate what I'm doing:
[Code]....
When the box is checked, it calls FillInfo(), which uses DHTML to fill the TextBox called "ThisInfo" with the value of the hidden field "DefaultInfo."
Here's the problem: if the form fails validation (e.g. "ThisInfo" is a required field and is left blank), the hidden "DefaultInfo" box is getting cleared out -- which I DON'T want it to do. As a result, when the checkbox is clicked, it is copying empty data into the "ThisInfo" field.
I'm writing a small web application in c# and i'm running into a small problem.
Basically, on page_load() my backend MySQL db is queried to bring back the user data, and that is then inserted into the textbox controls as below:
[Code]....
Now the problem occurs when the RequiredFieldValidator kicks in. In my form processing function, I call Page.IsValid(), it fails and displays the required message next to the required fields.
I was wondering if there is a workaround for this, or a better way to go about what i'm trying to do.
There is an external (Java based ) web service that i am calling. I've added my service reference and verified that Reference.cs has been generated.
Then i call my service form my client website like such:
[Code]....
But my response object is mostly null after it receives the response. The properties that should have values do NOT.
When i look at Trace viewer, the SOAP request is correct and the SOAP response is correct. I get back a valid soap response with all the data i need it's just not making its way back to my response object. I've tried regenerating the proxy many different ways (svcutil) with no luck.
Example of what is in the response object (good data which is not making it's way back to my response object):
I've got a dynamically populated drop down list and was wondering if web crawlers are able to see dynamically rendered data? Here is my static html below, and the end result to the end user is a drop down list that's populated from my SQL query within my datasource below.
i have one simple question; do I have to... or is there any need to validate value from DropDownLists that are populated from SQL Datatables. I know how to validate them, but I am just concerned about potential SQL Injection, because those DropDownLists are going to be "Input fields" for a new Datatable, and insted of using TextBoxes, user will choose values from those DDL's and Submit them (INSERT INTO) to SQL Datatable. Is there a way for a "hacker" to insert his item value into DropDownList. I hop You understand what I mean!?
I have 2 dropdown lists on a WebForm. One of them is populated in the page's Page_Load event. This oneworks fine with the following code.
[Code]....
Then, after a value is selected from this list and a date is selected from a DateTime picker, then I click a button which is supposed to populate the 2nd dropdownlist. In the debugger in the button's click event I can see that the dataset is being populated with data, but then the list is never populated after the DataBind() method is run. Here is code from the button's click event.
I have a DropDownList populated with a SQL Stored Procedure. On the page, there is also a button that when pressed, processes the contents of the dropdownlist. I would then like the dropdownlist to automatically remove the selection, and if there is nothing left in the dropdownlist, I would also like the button to be disabled.
I need to populate a dropdownlist with results from a linq query done in my controller. I want users to be displayed but when the item is selected and submitted, the userid is passed back to the controller.my controller:
I am migrating my application to MVC3 and getting this error message Validation parameter names in unobtrusive client validation rules must start with a lowercase letter and consist of only lowercase letters or digits.How can I ovoid it without going and modifying all my ViewModels
if in the code behind, I set the label to "You must enter a value if the textbox is empty" to validate it on the server side and this is fine, but if javascript is enabled, I don't want to show the client side validation and the server side label together. Is this something where I would just have to disable the client-side validators if javascript was enabled?
I have a form with 2 sections. The first one contains some radio buttons. The second one contains a checkboxlist. When we change the selected radio button then it modifies the elements in the checkboxlist. For this I setted the radio buttons with autopostback, and in the code behind (in OnLoad) I populate the CheckBoxList depending on the selected radio button.
This work fine.
The problem is that I also have a button at the end of my form which post the data of my form in another page (with PostBackUrl). Then in that page I would like to retrieve the values of the checked checkbox. But I can't find how to do that. In the Request.Form I don't see anything.
I searched on the web but I didn't found really a solution.
