How could can I get the caret position from within an input field.
I have seen a few bits and pieces on google but nothing bullet proof.
Basically something like a Jquery plugin would be ideal so I could simply do
$("#myinput").caretPosition()
I realise there may by other non-jQuery solutions and these would also be brilliant if anyone has any??

View 3 RepliesI've tried to override error message when input incorrect data type in input field on HTML form.For example I have the model like this.
public class Person
{
public string FirstName {get;set;}
public int Age {get;set;}
}
For view, I put text input for Age to get it value.When type some string in Age text box like 'test' and press submit button.
I got this error message ,The value 'xxx' is not valid for AgeHowever, I want to change this message and try many way. There 's nothing effect this message value.
I have a DetailsView on the page and I have made one of the fields a TemplateField. In the EditItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplate I have a DropdownList that is databound to a table in my Sql Server database. I wanted to add an initial value to the DropdownList
namely "- select -" .
I set the AppendDataBoundItems property to true and added the initial value as a ListItem.Markup of the DropdownList
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList_HP" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource_HP" [code]...
This works fine for new input. The problem is however that the database already has records that were entered through a Windows Application and many of these records has a null value in this field and exceptions are thrown when I tried to open these records
and the system tried to set the SelectedValue of the DropdownList.After some more searching I found this help
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366709.aspx
So I changed the ListItem in the DropDownList markup to the following:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList_RefHospDV4" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource_RefHosp" [code]...
This now solved the problem of opening a record where the value is null in the database, BUT now the RequiredFieldValidator is not validating anymore to make sure that a databound item is selected for this field and not the initial value "- select -". So basically now it is not checking anymore to see if valid input has been entered for the DropDownList and it accepts "- select -" thus it acts as if the field is not a required field anymore.
In short what is required is that I want to make sure that the user enters a valid selection in the DropDownList, but it must also cater for old records that do not have this field entered yet so that those old records can be opened in the DetailsView .Opening Old records (with null in that field):When these old records are opened in the DetailsView the DropDownlist should show "- select -" when the value in the database is null.
Saving records (old or new records):When saving the record in Insert mode or Update mode the RequiredFieldValidator should show that a valid input is not selected if the DropDownList is still on "- select -".

Simple question. I have the following hidden input field on my ASP.NET page:
<form id="userform" method="post" action="RankingPage.aspx">
<input type="hidden" id="email" />
<input type="hidden" id="name" />
</form>
I'm trying to get the data from the field (in my code behind) like this:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string name = Request.Form["name"].ToString();
}
It's returning a null reference (which I'm assuming means it couldn't find the field). Am I doing this wrong?
I am using ASP.net 2.0 and AJAX 2.0. I implemented successfully auto-complete extender for my text box and it is working very good. But the problem is for Drop down list position. When the page first load and at that time if we use auto complete drop down will come properly but if the scroll bar position change then drop down will overlap the text box and it will change the position. For more info I will put screen of it.
View 6 RepliesI am REALLY new to ASP.NET MVC, and it is alien to my way of thinking.In my project, I have managed to get as far as allowing the user to add, edit or delete entries from a table. What I want to do is ensure that a specific field (i.e. "Tank_Number") does not get duplicated. What is the correct way to implement this?
I would like to use custom validation in the model class, the reason being the handy error messages, but am getting more confused as I read more articles. At the moment, I am using an If statement in the Controller, but it isn't ideal.

View 3 RepliesI've got an ASP.NET 4 site on which I want to allow people to put '<' in their password. However, .NET gets in the way by blocking (what it sees as) an attempt to put HTML in a form field. I know I can turn off input validation entirely, but I only want to turn it off for this one field. Does anyone know an easy way to do that?

View 4 RepliesI'm pretty new to MVC 2 using the Entity Framework. I have two tables Company {ID int identity PK,Name nvarchar} and User {ID int identity PK,UserName nvarchar,CompanyID int FK}. A Foreign Key exists between User and Company.I generated my ADO.NET Entity Data Model, a Controller and a view to insert a record. My HTML form has the fields Company and UserName and the is when I click save a Company and User is inserted into the database. Sounds straight forward right!
My question is as follows:
I created a strongly-typed view derived from my 'User' entity. I'm using the the html helper Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Organisation.Name) but the html name attribute for this input field is 'Organisation.Name'. My problem with this is that the dot throws up all sorts of issues in JQuery, which sees this as a property. If I want to change the name I read that I can use DataAnnotations but because I used the Entity Designer this involves using Buddy Classes. Seems like a bit of overkill just to change the html name attribute on this input field.
I'm a total newbie with MVC -- learning it with MVC3 using Razor.
I just watched the video on PluralSight and was just following along with the example. I created my own Movie and MovieRepository objects. I then created a strongly typed view for adding a new movie. This is what's in the view:

View 3 Replieshow to show plain text in password field and then make it regular password field on focus
View 3 RepliesI have an old database that still contains depreciated Text fields. I need to pull from these fields and display the results. You would think this should be easy... First my select statement caused a problem:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT ..., CustomerInstructions, ... FROM Orders
where CustomerInstructions is a Text field.
The error I get: "The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable." A quick search shows I can cast the text field as a varchar(max).
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT ..., CAST(CustomerInstructions AS VARCHAR(MAX)), ... FROM Orders
Now I get an error while trying to load the instructions into a text box: "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: index"
Not sure what the problem is here. I have text and a text box. What's with the "out of range" crap?

when updating a decimal field in a GridView all is fine when using e.g. "2.3" ("." to separate the fraction!)
However, when using "2,3" I get e formatstring exception!
I tried "regularExpressionValidator/RequiredFieldvalidator" but did not succeed! Tried also with FormatString like {0:n}.....
Questions:
is this controllable by "Culture / UICulture" in web.config (played with it without success!
How do I best check for correct input i.e. force "." as separator
Can I use the "DataFormatString" property for the appropriate GridView field (like {0:n}) ......

I know now normally you can get the value of a text input using the following:
txtName.Text
But because my input is inside of a LoginView I am using FindControl like this:
LoginView1.FindControl("txtComment")
This successfully find the text input but returns its type rather than the value. Adding the Text function at the end does not work.
