Like here i use action="insert_cont.php"
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="insert_cont.php">
</form>can i create action in asp.net for it ??
I have a webpage with a form below -
<form action='https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='post' name='frm'>
I have a button that does a postback to server then back to client and finally to the action attribute of the form element.When the page post back to the client the onload <script>document.frm.submit()</script> finally submits the form to the action attribute of the form.I would like to eliminate the unnessasay post back to the client.Below is the code the runs on the server.
If Page.IsPostBack =
True
Then [code]....
I have a form action in an ASCX page set to an external URL
<form id="fLoginForm" runat="server" action="http://external.url" method="post" defaultbutton="bSignIn">
Inside there is a standard ASP linkbutton
<asp:LinkButton CssClass="btn" ID="bSignIn" runat="server" Text="Sign In" OnClick="bSignIn_Click" />
The event "bSignin_Click" never gets fired when I have ction="http://external.url" set on the form tag. However when I remove the action, it works as expected. I thought for runat='server' forms, the form would always post back? I need to read the URL from the action attrib and then redirect to it with some hidden input values also in the page.
After deploying a ASP.NET WebForms application to a production server some of the ajax calls has stopped working for me. After some debugging I found out that the following statement (in the internal client-method WebForm_DoCallback) was causing the problem:
xmlRequest.open("POST", action, true);
The problem seemed to be that the action-variable was empty so after checking the rendered html I found out that the form-tag rendered on the production server looks like:
<form method="post" action="" id="Form1">
However, on my developer machine I get the following:
<form method="post" action="default.aspx" id="Form1">
So, why would the action-attibute render on my dev.machine but not on the production server? This seems to be the case only for one specific web form, when I look on other pages the action-attribute renders correctly.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" onchange="calculate()" runat="server" Text="0"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I'm getting this error on the above markup: Message 1 Validation (ASP.Net): Attribute 'onchange' is not a valid attribute of element 'TextBox'.
I created a simple Master Page in Visual Studio 2008:
<%@
Master
Language="VB"
CodeFile="MasterPage.master.vb"
Inherits="MasterPage" %>
<!DOCTYPE
html
PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
and got green underlined 'Master' with two warning messages: 1.Validation (ASP.NET): This attribute name must be followed byan equal (=) sign and a value. If the value is in quotation marks, the quotation marks must match. 2. Validation (ASP.NET): Attribute 'Master' is not a valid attribute of element 'Control'.How I can get rid of the messages?
I have a tag:
<asp:ListItem
CssClass="LabelCSS">Executive</asp:ListItem>
and I am getting the error message
Validation(ASP .Net):Attribute CssClass is not a valid attribute of element ListItem.
What attribute would I use for Css with ListItem?
I'm making a urlrewriter component and I need to set the action attribute of the html form tag to the virtual url. This is easy to do in the page that has that tag but I want to do it from within the component. I have a class called UrlRewriterModule which inherits from IHttpModule and in the OnPagePreInit method I run the code:
[Code]....
This actually works... but... this code presumes that I have a page which has a masterpage where the form tag is located.
How can this be done so that it will work with any hierarchy? I want to access the form tag wherever it is located.
Is there a way to retrieve values from the form object using the id element instead of the name element?
View 3 RepliesI have a web form called default.aspx which has a form with user information. In addition to this, I have an iFrame on the same page that displays a page Secondary-Form.aspx that has a few additional dynamic data fields. I need to do two things.
1. I need to pass the parent form data in real time to the iFrame page to refresh its content and modify it's fields accordingly. Example: If the user submits their Vehicle Choice as Car on parent form, the form item in iFrame will display a radio button that says Honda, and if the user submits their Vehicle Choice as MotorCycle in the parent page, the iFrame will display Harley Davidson as the radio button choice
2. The submit button is on the parent page. I want both pieces of this information (from the parent page, as well as iFrame selection) to be passed to a server side ASPX page to process this information.the default.aspx and Secondary-Form.aspx files are located on different domains.
I am facing challenge of changing action attribute of html form tag. As my application is on shared hosting (medium trust) environment of godaddy server, I cannot use reflection to get control adapter of html tag page. So, I cannot use the following code in my Url Rewriting module.

Is there any otherway to implement the same functionality without reflection?
how to select the mac element value. Here is my code that not working.
[Code]....
I would like to have this piece of code in my .aspx file:
<input class="ms-ButtonHeightWidth" type="button" name="BtnOK" id="Button2"
value="Close"
onclick="javascript:HandleOKButtonClick()"
accesskey="<%$Resources:wss,okbutton_accesskey%>" />
Unfortunately, ASP.net doesn't seem to like that:
An error occurred during the processing of /_layouts/MyPage/Info.aspx. Literal expressions like '<%$Resources:wss,okbutton_accesskey%>' are not allowed. Use <asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$Resources:wss,okbutton_accesskey%>" /> instead
That doesn't work in this situation as that would mean nesting the Literal between the quotes of the accesskey attribute, which causes a "The tag contains duplicate 'ID' attributes" error.
Is there a way to use a string from a resource without having to change the input to an asp:Button? I guess there has to be a way using <%=, but I don't know how I would address the resource itself?
I have a VS 2003 Web app that I'm creating. I'm using a Panel control and I'm trying to apply a CSS class to this panel. However, when I try coding the following statement
<asp:Panel class="pnl2" runat="server">
it doesn't like the "class" attribute saying "could not find any attribute 'class' of element panel"? I'm used to using VS 2005 and higher and haven't seen this before. What am I doing wrong?
I'm new to ASP.NET and MVC in particular. Now, I'm trying to understand if I can easily get values of custom attributes of submitted data. For example, When writing something like this inside a form (which works and posts and I can get the checkbox value) <%= Html.CheckBox("cb1", new { listen = "listen:6" }) %> Can I get the value of "listen" directly or do I need JS? (I know I can just use hidden fields, but I'm I'm asking anyway)
View 1 RepliesI have an app I am transitioning to MVC3 to see what the upgrade path is essentially. I've hit a snag. I believe I've run into a change that may be due to the changes for Dependency Injection in action filter attributes, but I have been unable to track down the cause, and the "correct" solution.This project uses StructureMap and NHibernate. The NHibernate session is started at the beginning of each request, and ends at the end of each request, thanks to a small module. This is just to give an idea of the stack involved...o I have a few custom Authorize attributes (Inheriting from AuthorizeAttribute) that perform some more complicated authorization logic for specific actions that they decorate. Part of their functionality involves using two repositories which they must either (a) have injected, or (b) get from the StructureMap ObjectFactory themselves. In MVC2 I was using option b, so that the CONSTRUCTOR of the attribute looked like this:
[Code]....
This worked fine, as in MVC2 the constructor was called each time the attribute was evaluated. This BREAKS in MVC3, where it would appear that this is no longer the case. Due to this apparent change, the FIRST time this attribute is evaluated, it runs fine, but each subsequent time, any calls in the repositories fails because it claims the NHibernate Session object hasn't been started! The reason being, as far as I can tell, that the CustomAuthorizeAttribute is created once, and then held in whatever state it exists in at that point for the lifetime of the application... Which means that the dependencies inside of it (Which SHOULD go out of scope at the end of each request, and be reinstantiated / fetched at the beginning of subsequent requests), are instead persisting with it becoming stale after the first evaluation.After banging my head against the desk for a few hours, I realized that simply moving these calls to the ObjectFactory into the AutorizeCore method made everything work again.Now, all of this was of course, a hack, because there wasn't a good easy to do real dependency injection into attributes in MVC2. I hear that is changed in MVC3, and I am wondering if this behavior is in response this change, and if so, what do I need to do to make this work?
I Have added a form to the master page, but when the page is rendered the name attribute is outputted; this attribute has now been depreciated.
Is there a way to override this form to remove the attribute when using the master page?

View 5 RepliesI am redirecting user from http to https if page is not secure from global.asax file in application_Begin event
But there are some pages in which i don't want to redirect to https page. I want to detect any form element which will tell me weather page should be secured or not. but when i check Requet.Form[_Viewstate] it gives me null value. Right now i check like Request.PhysicalPath.ToLower().IndexOf("test.aspx") ==-1 && !page.IsSecureConnection-> redirect to secure page but in future there will be more page which should be on http.
Is there any general way to redirect to https if page i added any hidden field on page "hfIsHttps=1" and detect that element if 1 then go other wise don't go Following is my code global.asax in application_Begin event
[code]....
I want, instead of hard core check for perticular page there should be general way, like each page itself should tell weather it should be for http or https

I have some code which is rendering some custom attributes of Hidden Control (without runat=server).
Something like,
<input type='hidden' id = 'hdn1221' name = 'hdn1221' OldValue = '12' OldMode = 'A' />
And I have a lot of these hidden elements on my form.
When I submit the form, I am looping through a set of ids, say 1200 to 1250, so I will read controls based on that, and also hidden with Request.Form["hdn<Id> "]
Now problem is, as we know we get value attribute from form when we do Request.Form["id"] for hidden, I want to read my custom attributes from hidden element. Is there any way? Note that, I can not touch the rendering part here.

I have a site master page which has 2 forms on it like so
[Code]....
But when I click the submit button in the second form on the page it submits the values from the first form to my controller and will run both controller actions. What I want is each form to submit only its own data is there some special way to do this?
I have a web form with usual elements (first name, last name, etc). The Postback URL is a different website altogether as the form is intented to post lead information to another website.
The site that accepts the lead is expecting First Name to come over as "FName", and Last Name to come over as "LName". Is there any way I can set the ID of a textbox to "txtFName", but submit it over the wire as "FName"? I tried changing the name attribute, but at runtime it sets the name = id.
