Returning Data Back From Dynamically Created Fields (javascript)
Apr 5, 2010
Once again i am faced with an issue. I must allow a user to add as many pieces of data as they wish. I have therefore employed some javascript from an tutorial
[URL]
I would now like to return the data from the dynamic fields through the c#(.cs page)
I have a a gridview with a dynamic number of columns and rows. In each of the gridiview cells, a textbox get's added dynamicaly. I need users to be able to tab through these textboxes, but I can't get it to work.
I set the tabindex of the the textbox when it is created in the code behind, however when I try and tab in the page it doesn't work. If I click inside a textbox in the grdiview then pressing tab does nothing at all, If I click outside the gridview I can tab through the other controls on the page, and it will tab into the first cell of the gridiview, and then stop/
I am using asp.net/c# application. In my application, I have a gridview.<asp:GridView id ="gv_QuestionList" runat="server"> </asp:GridView>In Code Behind, I created dynamic textboxes and DropDownLists on RowDataBound.
[Code]....
I have a Save button out side the gridview which stores all the row values into database. when I click the "Save" button, I lost dyanamically ceated controls like textbox,dropdown and values (on postback).How can i get all the dynamically created controls and values after the post back?
how to check if a dynamically created control has posted back?The below code is not working.

I have created some imagebuttons dyanmically on page_Init. But the above code always returns null. Why is that? How can I check If an image button has posted back?
Note: I am able to handle the click events of those imagebuttons.
Assume you have a page in ASP.NET where it makes sense to use JavaScript/jQuery to modify the DOM with values that will eventually be read by the server on submit. For example, you have a form that allows end users to add/remove objects (like dependents on a health insurance form or assets on a loan application). What are some ways to ensure that these items are detected and retrieved by the server once the information is submitted?
I've tried a few things that work, but none of them seem perfect so I wanted to see what the community had to offer. Also, I'm not looking for suggestions that avoid dynamic DOM elements (like use a Wizard, etc.). I'm specifically trying to improve my technique with dynamically created DOM elements.
in an aspx pege, on Page PostBack we generally get thsoe control that were created either in aspx or code behind (dynamic controls ). But in jQuery its common practice to craete new set of controls on the fly. Supose i have created 10 spans with some id and text . So, can we get these spans on server side on Page PostBack ?
I created dynamically a table with 3 rows not by using table tag. I need to find these rows in scripting, in button click, if any of these rows is empty then need to generate an alert message like enter current row.
On runtime I am creating table structure using javascript and appending it to the div which is placed in an update panel. Problem here is, when I use asp.net button control, onClick of the button it posts the page to server and whatever javascript tables I have created it goes off. When I use html input button (input type="button") I don't face this problem and tables also stay there. But I have to use asp.net button to take necessary actions on the server side. Is there any way that I can restore the structure or use asp.net button control alongwith dynamic javascript.
I've a JavaScript function in my page through which i make some elements in the page as 'JQuery UI droppable'.
function setDroppableTargets() { $(.cssDockZone).droppable(); }
But the elements with the class cssDockZone is created dynamically upon user interaction. So in the code behind i create the control first and finally at the end i register a scriptblock which calls setDroppableTargets().
But the javascript function is invoked before the controls are created eventhough i register the script at the end (after creating the controls) and i cross checked it by getting the elements with class name '.cssDockZone' and i getting it as 0.
I am dynamically creating controls from javascript. Now i want to access this is server side.
I assigned all the control values from dynamically created controls to hidden field and accessed that in server side. For this i need to create many hidden fields as much as dynamically added controls.
I've tried creating checkboxes, literalcontrols and textboxes. I need to generate checkboxes dynamically, depending on how many types of <whatever> the user has put in. I know how to do this (I think), but the problem is the controls don't work as they should.
If I create server controls, then for some reason I can't change the value with javascript. If I create client controls, then something appears to happen with the id so the server can't fetch the value (it doesn't recognize the id, allthough it's there in the html)
I can't use a regular checkbox with autopostback because there is to much happening at page load. On other pages on the site, this works, but on those pages the controls are not created dynamically.
I have a small form with some static elements that I am able to access with javascript the bring up a popup. 4 textboxes are generated and attached to a updatepanel. I've been trying various methods of validating the contols without generating postback.
I found anytime i registered a javascript to the scriptmanager the page must refresh.
Ive came into a problem when using partial page update. The javascript doesn't fellow. What i want to do is when i call a partial page update some of the update have controls that require a javascript code to be executed. When the partial update is done that javascript isnt here and cannot be found. So what is the best way to make a javascript file to fellow a partial page update ?
I am trying to send data from text fields created on the client side (via jquery). The problem is the data from those text boxes is not being post back ( I'm using asp.net webforms)
I have used fiddler to view the post back data and it isn't there for those generated text fields.
I'm surprised no one figured it out. I was switching from server to non server controls I forgot to give the non ones a name field..........
I have a gridview that have 5 columns. The first column is the select button, 2nd to the 4th are just displaying of data which I have used HTMLdecode to set it to disable the htmlencode so that I could display 2 lines in the gridview. However, after enabling htmldecode. my 2 fields, the select button and the text box columns are not able to be displayed out.
Here is the code for the gridview:
Protected Sub gvTransaction_RowDataBound1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvTransaction.RowDataBound If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then Dim cells As TableCellCollection = e.Row.Cells ' cells For Each cell As TableCell In cells cell.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(cell.Text) Next End If End Sub
Model is coming up as Invalid Scenario is I have a custom ViewModel and certain fields don't show up on the screen (like Id & some computed fields etc..) so when the data gets posted back the Model.IsValid() comes to false Q Do I have to pre init these fields when I do create
ActionResult CreateOrder(int customerID) { var order=new OrderViewModel(); //shall I init the fields which are not being keyed in by the user? }
I'm writing a code for a custom webpart that will retrieve data via data reader or data set (not sure which is better). In the code I will separate data into 4 categories (always just 4). Each category of data will be displayed in a tab panel, so a total of 4 tabs in the tab container. All of this is created dynamically in the CreateChildControls() method. So far I have it working for with one tab and I don't know how to separate the data into the 4 tabs.
Here the what I've got so far (simplified for posting):
_dr = bll.drGetData(id); Panel panel1 = new Panel(); while (_dr.Read()){ DataList dl = new DataList();
NOTE: This is where I think I need to branch off the data into the 4 categories but I'm not sure how to implement it.
dl.ItemTemplate = new MyTemplate(LIstItemType.Item); dl.DataSource = _dr; dl.DataBind(); panel1.Controls.Add(dl); AjaxControlToolKit.TabPanel tp = new AjaxcontrolToolkit.TabPanel(); tp.Controls.Add(panel1); TabContainer tc = new TabContainer(); tc.Tabs.Add(tp); this.Controls.Add(tp); public class MyTemplate : ITemplate{ ListItemType _itemType; public MyTemplate(ListItemtype Type){_itemType = Type;} pubilc void InstatiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container){ LinkButton linkb1 = new LinkButton(); linkb.DataBinding += new EventHandler(TemplateControl_DataBinding); container.Controls.Add(linkb); } private void TemplateControl_DataBinding(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ LinkButton linkb = new LinkButton(); linkb = (LinkButton)sender; DataListItem container = (DataLIstItem)linkb.NamingContainer; if(Convert.ToInt32(DataBinder.Eval(container.DataItem, "id")) >= 1) {
NOTE: Although here is where the databinding takes place so I woud assume the categorization the data can take place here as well but I dont see how.
I have a query expression which I am binding to a GridView in Page_Load. The data I want to capture in the SelectedIndexChaned event is in a BoundField defined thus:
I'm creating an quiz application which queries the database and extracts the questions and choices. I use dynamically created controls such as a checkbox list and fill the values dynamically. How do I do this? Right now I have these functions:
array_random_init(); this creates a 10 element integer array from 1-20 - extract_question(i): this extracts a question indexed at i in DB, I created the controls and set the appropriate text in this function. - validate_question(i); this is called by button_click and validates the question i according to DB.
I understand I have to recreate the controls in Page_init on postback, but what should it look like? Do I need to add "if IsPostBack" in page_init, or do I create the controls in page_init() and reset their properties in page_load when I use extract_question(i)? Also, I cannot seem to clear the selected boxes on postback, I added page directive "enableviewstate=false" but it doesn't work.
I have a website that sales associates access to view account information with clients. S.A's can only view information for accounts that they are tied to. Some clients have more than one account, S.A's can be tied to more than one account, but not all accounts of one client need to be tied to one S.A.
On the account info pages, I have account numbers (dynamically displayed labels) displayed of other accounts that the account client is associated with, which the S.A's can see. I'm modding this so that if the S.A has viewing permissions of any of the other accounts on that list of accounts, that instead of a label being displayed, a button directing them to that account page will display instead. In order for this to work, I have to attach a security function to the button, otherwise the page will blow out on the S.A's.
So I'm running a piece that is displaying a button instead of a label, which is working fine. My problem is when I try to attach the security event to the dynamically displayed buttons. It seems that the page just posts back and doesn't execute my code at all.
On my Page_Load, I'm running this after the buttons and labels are displayed:
For x = 0 to tblAccountList.Rows.Count - 1 'use a try to target the button, use catch to handle if it's instead a label, only one cell per row. Try Dim accountLink as Button = tblAccountList.Rows(x).Controls(0) Addhandler accountLink.Click, AddressOf Me.PermissionViewCheck Catch ex as InvalidCastException Continue For End Try Next
I don't have any code checking for postbacks or anything like that, but the "PermissionViewCheck" event never fires and just reposts the page.
my folowwing code is generating error - selectedItem does not of string type. Basically i am unable to insert values through dropdownlist genrated dynamically.
