C# - Is It Possible To Automate Button Clicks And Text Input In A Web Browser
Jan 14, 2011
I've been tasked with building a screen scraping application, and I'm looking for information on the best way to cope with web pages that would normally require user input and interaction.
Can this be done via standard web / javascript coding. Is there any API that would allow a desktop application to achieve the same effect?
I would like to program an Input Box that comes up when a user clicks 'Find' button. It asks 'Please enter an employee number'. Then it takes the employee number typed into a text box and searches a dataset for that specific employee record.
I know that it should be server side because the client may not have the proper javascript installed or diabled. Therefore, can someone give me some code to put in code behind that can pop up an input box and use the input after, if this can be done?
In set the Send button as default button in my page. In the button click event I try to set the focus to the TextBox. When clicking the button the event work fine but While clicking the enter button I cant input text to TextBox.
I'm using devexpress aspxbutton, and I was wondering how can I prevent the user from clicking the button more then once..? basically it does an update/insert statement.
I'm using a ASP.NET Web Form to capture information from a user and then email the results to me. This is working well.
The problem is, that the SMTP Relay Server I am using from my ISP seems to be a bit slow so once I hit SEND on the form, it seems to take a little longer than average before sending the user through to the "Thank-You" page.
To counter-act the long wait time, I would like to add a little bit of code that will display on the Web Form once the user clicks the send button, but before the data is actually sent or they are forwarded on to the thank-you page.
Right now in my file.aspx.vb I have:
Try smtpClient.Send(mailMessage) Response.Redirect("thankyou.aspx") Catch smtpExc As System.Net.Mail.SmtpException 'Log error information on which email failed. Catch ex As Exception 'Log general errors End Try
What I'm wondering is if it is possible to have a HIDDEN control of some type on the form and then change Visible=False to Visible=True to have the text display once the user clicks the Send button? Or should this be done another way?
I have an aspx page that is wrapped with an UpdatePanel control, users can post comments and delete them later, when the user clicks the delete for the first time it deletes successfully but if he wants to delete another comment, it works only after two clicks on the button.the delete button is inside a web user control that is added dynamically at run time.
I am faced with a tricky scenario. My application (WEB) is in .NET 3.5 using C# as the development language. My page is having a number of User controls, each with a Save button of its own.
Now my Page containing the User Controls also has a button named SAVE. Now all these User Controls are dynamically populated in the page with respect to some events and all of them are inside individual Update Panels.
Now my requirement is ONCLICK of the SAVE button in the page, the clicks of the SAVE buttons of the user controls will get fired. But since its an asynchronous call (since I am using AJAX through UPDATE PANELS), it will be a heavy overload if all the clicks get fired simultaneously.
So I thought of having sequential clicks done, i.e., after the successful completion of the Click of User Control 1, the click of User Control 2 will get fired and so on.
I presume this can be done with Server Callback, but I am at a loss how to proceed with it.
I want to disable a button when ever user clicks on that. My button present inside the Updatepanel control AJAXI tried with the OnClientClick="javascript:$get(btnUpdate).disabled=true;" button is disabling but that is not calling btnUpdate_Click() server side logic. Please suggest me how to do this.I need to disable button when ever user clicks first time and I need also btnUpdate_Click() logic please adavice me.
I have a form that is Ajax enabled (we use ajax to display a "processing" message). We're having problems with the customers double clicking the button so I want to disable the button upon the first click. I use the code below which works fine in IE but not in Firefox or Chrome.
In Chrome and Firefox, the button grays out but is still clickable. Do you see any problems with the code above? on a workaround or alternate method of disabling the button? I have thought about using session state to flag when the button is clicked and just ignore subsequent clicks but would rather disable the button entirely.
I have several pages, let's call them A, B and C. Each of these pages has a form where the user can type in some information and click a button to send those information to the server. This button click is performed in an UpdatePanel to prevent a full postback.
A customer of ours now wants to know how many % of the using visiting each site (A, B and C have different URLs) use this form. (Meaning I need seperate values for A, B and C) How to I track this in Google Analytics? It seems that I have to create a conversion(??) for each page. Is that correct?
How must I modify the existing web application to let Google Analytics know, that a user submitted the form. (without the need to redirect thank to xy amount of different thank you pages)
I'm working on a asp.net page and I have the following scenario:I have 2 fields that have requiredfieldvalidators which need to "fire" their validation when button1 is clicked but NOT when button2 is clicked and another field which is validated by another requiredfieldvalidator with the opposite scenario. (requiredfieldvalidator for this field needs to "fire" when button2 is clicked but NOT when button1 is clicked.)
I'm using an <asp:Repeater> in asp.NET to create several such <div>s.The problem is that all clicks in the div are picked up by this jQuery - I also have an <asp:Button> inside the div, for this I want to catch the click as normal and process it in the repeater_ItemCommand event - But this doesn't fire - the page just redirects to the href found in the hyperlink in the div.
I have modal popup extender with two buttons called continue and cancel within it.I get this popup warning when session is going to expire.When I click cancel button it should logout me and when I click continue button it should extend my session for next 20 minutes. Both button gets trigered when I click them.Problem is that when I click continue button it should extend session for another 20 minutes and alert should disapper.That doesn't work.
I want to reload the page when the user clicks on the back button, from a particular page.Say for example there are three pages:
Page1.aspx,Page2.aspx,Page3.aspx
I want when user move from Page2 to Page3. When he clicks on "Back" button on browser page shld load I have tried adding a onload function JS in Page2 it works out. The issue is identifying user is coming from Page3.
I have website home page which my client can view well on his blackberry mobile phone but I have link buttons on that page which redirect the users to other pages ..just Response.Redirect ............simple code.... but when he clicks on the link, it requests for enabling javascript..I do that but the home page just does a postback. Links are not working on cellphone........... on regular website they are working fine.
I am trying to trigger a update planel when a user clicks on an button on a GridView. Once the button is pressed the id of the record gathered and then more information will be gathered and sent to lbl.Text in updatePanel1.
1. I want to stop multiple clicks on a submit button. Once the user has clicked the submit button,he has been redirected to next page. but he should not be allowed to click submit button multiple times.
2. once the user has gone to the next page, he should not be able to come back to previuos page,; if at all he comes back-- all the form fields should get cleared. how?
I'm trying to populate a gridview after the user clicks a button. In the button_click event handler I'm fetching the info I want to display on the grid. this is the code I'm using to do it...

ASP Code [Code]....
VB Code Behind [Code]....
There is a gridview on the page and when the user clicks the link button it calls the popup..
[Code].... How can I remove btn1 and the ModalPopUpExtender still work ?
I've been searching in all the forums, and websites for the last 4 hours without finding a solution for a problem that in the beginning I tought it was an easy one!!!This is my problem, I have a gridview with the following colums: select (link), Room Type (for hotels), and TotalThe total field Is a template field it has in the custom binding property a function: find_total(Eval("Room")) this function makes some calculation and returns the calculated Total value, and shows in the gridview without problems,The thing I cant do is: when the user clicks on the select link I want to get the text of the template field and put in a label control.
I tried, almost all the events of the datagrid, to reference the content of my template field but sometimes I receive a null value (seems that Im looking for the value before the find_total function has been executed) or I get an error "the index is out of range".I dont know how to approach this, I tought It has to be much easier, but Im very confused right now, if anybody knows how to do this
