C# - Get Clientid In User Control From External Javascript File?
Mar 23, 2010
I am developing a user control (ascx) in ASP.NET which uses javascript for manipulating controls. Currently the javascript code is inlined and uses <%= somecontrol.ClientID %> to get the control it needs.
I want to put the javascript file in external file but from external file I cannot use the above syntax for retrieving controls. I have read about possible solutions in this and this answers but the problem is that the user control can be placed multiple times on page. This means that the Controls array (mentioned in the answers) will be rendered several times with different items. As a result the script will not be able to retrieve the id it needs. If I put <%= ClientId %> in the name of array that holds items then I will have the same problem as I am trying to solve.
On load I'm both calling a JavaScript setTimeout() function that will hide a .NET Panel control, and hiding it in the code behind on first load. Clicking the save button will set the Panel to visible then reload the page at which point a setTimeout() function is called... so basically you click save, and see a panel with "Details Saved" for three seconds, at which point it disappears.
The problem is the external JavaScript file can't find _pDivAlert.ClientID (I've debugged and it returns null). It only works when the code is in a tag in the .aspx page. how I can either pass the client ID to the HideControl() function or find the ClientID from the external JS file?
I have Telerik RadGrid with a custom edit form. In my edit form there is a RadDatePicker to which I have added a custom footer template containing a 'Today' button. In the OnClick event of the button I call a Javascript function which takes the control ID to set the selected date. However, because the control is inside the edit form there is no variable created for it and the compiler throws an error when I try getting the client ID. The RadDatePicker is declared with:
The error I get is CS0103: The name 'ControlName' does not exist in the current context on the line referencing the ClientID. Is there another way in which to get the ID to pass to the Javascript function?
I have a web user control. That I load dynamicaly inside a modalpopup window using dynamic populate extender. User control has a external javascript file linked to it. Problem: I cannot make call to webservice method from this external javascript file. When I make a call -- servicename.methodname() I get servicename not defined error.
I'm building several user controls (ASCX) for my website and several of them are very similar in what they do. (As a side note, I must create unique UC's even if they're similar because I'm creating widgets for the new Telligent Community themeing system). For example, two of them are different but use the same front-end code to create a 2 or 3 tab panel where you can click a tab and it changes the data below. I have a single JS file to handle these tabs and the animations. I'm currently dynamically adding my JS file reference to the <head> from the user controls' code via:
If I have both of these controls on a page though, both will add this JS file reference. How can I do a check to see if it is already added from another control?
I have a tab control on my page and on click of tab user control is loaded dynamically.I need to load the javascript file of that user control dynamically. I don't want to add the reference of my js file on parent page.so in my .ascx page load event i added:
I am getting an error while calling a javascript from a dropdownlist which is placed inside a modal pop-up panel. if i am ebeding a small script like onchange="javascript:alert('hello');", it works fine. But if i m using <script> </script> for embeding a javascript its showing 'object doesn't support this property' error. when i debugged it the compiler does not get into the javascript function.
I thought I heard we would be able to get the value of an asp:textbox by id with javascript in the .net 4 framework? was I mistaken? if not does anyone know the syntax?
I trying to write a javascript generate <%= element.ClientID% > where element is one of the input parameter of function. I am trying to write a variable
var elementName = "<%=" + element + ".clientID%>"
which is giving an error
CS0117: 'string' does not contain a definition for 'clientID'
I have a gridview and template field (textbox) control. on GridView_RowDataBound I want to find the control and pass the control id to a javascript which will set datepicker on that textbox here is how I am doing but its not working.
I'm customizing a NopCommerce store, and am using a gridview to display and sort the products. All that works well. I like how the external pager (user control) works with the gridview, with one exception -- it uses the hyperlink control, so I lost viewstate, which I need to retain for both the search page and to retain the gridview sort options. Based on the page selected (from the pager control), I query the database and rebind the gridview. So, I switched the user control to use LinkButtons instead of Hyperlinks. This is the sample code for one of the buttons:
[Code]....
I set a breakpoint inside the lbCommandClick method, but it never gets hit. Reading other posts tells me that I would have to add the dynamic controls in the OnLoad method, but since this all happens based on other data on the page (say search results), I don't think I can do it onLoad. However, the link buttons do work to cause a postback, and my viewstate is saved correctly. The only problem is that I do not know which button was clicked. I could check Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"] onLoad, but that is kind of a hack -- I'd much rather be able to set the event handler in the user control and use the CommandArgument property. But, what I have tried so far fails.
Especially one that would allow me to set the EventHandler in the User Control? (e.g. OnlbCommand="PagerLBPageChange" )
I have a databound gridview that displays basic customer information. I have added a template field to the gridview, but I am having trouble with the coding for the RowDataBound event. I need to take the sum of all payments made by the customer in each row and store it in a variable for further calculation. Also, I need to take an integer value (say 30, representing 30 days) and add it to a date, and return a date.
Now the weird thing is I have a user control UserControl1 in which I put some JavaScrdipt logic there, and I have another user control UserControl2 and I registered both in the page called Page1.aspx.I would like to call the JavaScript function resided in UserControl1 from UserControl2, however, I got an error saying the function is not defined. I think both user controls are loaded before I use them then I think the JavaScript function can been seen anyway in that page.
I think I summed up the question in the title. Here is some further elaboration...I have a web user control that is used in multiple places, sometimes more than once on a given page.The web user control has a specific set of JavaScript functions (mostly jQuery code) that are containted within *.js files and automatically inserted into page headers.However, when I want to use the control more than once on a page, the *.js files are included 'n' number of times and, rightly so, the browser gets confused as to which control it's meant to be executing which function on.What do I need to do in order to resolve this problem? I've been staring at this all day and I'm at a loss.
I have a form with BoundFields in it and I need to get ClientID(s) for control(s) associated with each BoundField I have in the form.How can I do it?UPD: I do not have control id. All I have is bound field which can not have an id.UPD2: I'm trying to write a code like this:
public IDictionary<BoundField, string> GetCliendIDs(FormView formView) { // How to find Client IDs for controls which were created for BoundFields }
