How To Prevent AutoPostBack When DropDownlist Is Selected Using JQuery
Jul 21, 2010
I want to show a confirm dialog when the user selects an item in a DropDownList. If the user presses "Cancel", I want to stop the postback. Here is the function I add to the onchange event:
function imitateConfirmUnload(event) {
if (window.onbeforeunload = null)
return true;
return confirm("Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
You have unsaved changes
Press OK to continue or Cancel to stay on the current page.");
}
And this is the relevant bit of code in my startup script to add the handler to the event:
[code]...
The problem is that the postback occurs even if the user selects "Cancel". If I move the handler on to the click event, it works. But it feels clunky to me.
Edit
Correction: it doesn't work onclick, because the dialog prevents selection, so when the user selects OK, no change has taken place, and no postback when you want it!
Edit 2
The DropDownList is inside an UpdatePanel so that may affect behavior.
I am using an asp.net autopostback enabled dropdown list. Here i want to restrict the autopostback property fot the value "Select" in the ddl. I have used javascript for this purpose. but not working.My code look like this.
I have a simple query based on the index changed event of a dropdownlist in ASP.NET. The scenario is i have a dropdown list bearing a collection of items (say ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE) with the default value selected as 'ONE'. Now, when the client changes the index (say the client selects 'TWO'), a confirmation box is prompted asking 'Are you sure want to change the index?' with the buttons YES & NO. Now, the problem is, if YES button is clicked then its working fine as the index is changed. But when NO button is clicked in the confirmation box, I do not want the index to be changed to 'TWO' and it should be holding the previously selected value which was 'ONE'. How can I do this? For which event should I write the code, as I cant think of writing the code for the IndexChanged event because here the index change has already occured and since there is no 'IndexChanging' event in ASP.NET, where shall i write the code
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { string strConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SqlServerCstr"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString); myConnection.Open(); string musisim = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select B.HESAP_NO FROM YAZ..MARDATA.S_TEKLIF B WHERE B.MUS_K_ISIM = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value", myConnection); Label1.Text = cmd.ExecuteReader().ToString(); myConnection.Close();
i have a customer name as "MUS_K_ISIM" and his number as "HESAP_NO" All i want is, (autopostback is true) automaticly getting label "HESAP_NO" with who has this number "MUS_K_ISIM" in Dropdownlist. How can i do that?

Have a dropdown list with autopostback set to 'yes' have another dropdown list box that will be populated based on the selection of the first dropdown. It works fine until I put a submit botton on the form. When I do it appears to not do the auto postback until the submit button is pushed. Can you have a submit button on a form that has a dropdown with autopostback active.
When I select the item in 1st dropdownlist, values are fetched from database and want to display in second dropdownlist... but the autopostback is not working for the 1st dropdownlist..
why asp.net does not render a dropdownlist with the autopostback property set to true when using the RenderControl method.
eg
Dim sw As New IO.StringWriter Dim tw As New HtmlTextWriter(sw) Dim table As New Table
[Code]...
my output renders the dropdown list without the onchange="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(ddl1','')', 0)" that is generated by asp.net when using the dropdownlist normally.
I really have no idea on this problem on the cascading dropdownlist. I have a cascading dropdownlist that bind with calling the web services.
I wan to do a autopostback to get the value of the Album GUId so that i can query out all the photo list of that album. it is working well if my page without the AlbumGUId query string.
my problem is:
when i redirect from other page and passing the Album GUId querystring to this page, it will display all my photo for this album guid. but when i change the album to Select which should be able to display all the Photos, it cannot display out. It only will work is when i choose another album and then go back to Select then it only can work..
Well I have a strange problem.I have a page with 2 DropDownLists on it and a custom web-user-control. The custom web user control has an UpdatePanel within it, and an Ajax Timer control within the UpdatePanel to periodically update a listing of stuff.When I "drop-down" one of the DropDownLists and hover over (not click on) an option while the Timer control within the UpdatePanel asynchronously posts back to the server, the DropDownList "autopostbacks" to the server!
I'm trying to figure out why an asynchronous postback would cause the DropDownList to act as if I selected/clicked on an option so that I can find a way around this issue.Now it's really simple to reproduce this problem. Create a Web User control called "TimerUpdatedListing"...this is the ASPX code markup for the web user control:
I have a required field validator to validate a dropdownlist. this dropdownlist is an autopostback one, and it's causevalidation property is set to be false.the issue is, when I select the default item, the validation message shows, but the still do the postback. And after the postback, the message disappers.here is the snippet of codes:
i am having gridview with two columns.one column contains checkboxes and another column contains Name.i have given UserId to DataKeyNames in gridview.Now i will check some checkboxes in gridview and click on button GetData. whenver i click on button GetData i need to get datakey values of all the gridview rows whatever checked in gridview using JQUERY
The sites I mantain are using way too much ViewState and I'd like to reduce that so the size of the page is reduced. I've done a lot to remedy this but I have an issue relating to DropDown lists that use AutoPostbacks.I have a dropdown list with a lot of list items and a good part of the ViewState usage is to hold the list item data. If I disable ViewState and set the AutoPostBack property to true, the page will post back and in the page load I am trying to repopulate the dropdown list with cached data. However, it seems that the SelectedIndexChanged event doesn't fire when EnableViewState="false".Is it possible to make this work without enabling ViewState for the drodown list?
I have a DropDownList in a GridView with AutoPostBack="true" and on SelectedIndexChanged fires an event.

Everything works fine across browsers as long as the user is scrolling through the DropDownList using a mouse.In IE8, things start to go haywire when the user is navigating the DropDownList using up/down arrows on the keyboard. The SelectedIndexChange event is fired with nearly every up/down key pressed. In Firefox 3 and Chrome 9, the behavior is more like what I would expect, that the event isn't fired until the user stops on DropDownList selection and hits the enter key.
Is there something that I should be doing in IE, short of setting AutoPostBack="false", so that the event is fired every time the up/down arrows are used on the keyboard?
I've got an odd situation with a text box and an autocomplete setup on my page. I'm using a JQuery based autocomplete on a text box that has AutoPostBack="True". This works perfect if I use the keyboard to select an autocomplete item, which then fires Jquery to fill in the text box, and then when I tab out of the box the AutoPostBack fires. If, however, I click on an autocomplete item, my text box loses focus first and the AutoPostBack fires before the Jquery has a chance to change the text in my text box. Is there a way to delay either the PostBack or the Jquery so that they don't fight each other? I'm thinking it may have to be the PostBack that gets changed, since the JQuery would lose it's state on the PostBack
