Hidden Field Not Retaining Value When Updated From Code Behind?
Feb 14, 2011
I'm using a hidden field to store a value in an asp.net page. Basically I set the value of the hidden field whenever a value on the form is changed i.e. first name, date etc. The field is on a webform that has a master page and is in the content section:
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnDirtyFlag" runat="server" Value='false' />
I change the value of the field in javascript by calling a function whenever an onchange event fires in other controls on the web form:
<asp:TextBox CssClass="niceInput" ID="tbFirstName" runat="server" MaxLength="40" Width="150" onchange='SetHiddenVariable();'></asp:TextBox>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetHiddenVariable() {
// Set the value of the hidden variable so we know a field has been updated
var hiddenControl = '<%= hdnDirtyFlag.ClientID %>';
document.getElementById(hiddenControl).value = 'true';
}
</script>
So far so good. When the page loads the hidden field value is 'false', and if I don't change any values on the webform it remains false. Whenever I do change another control the javascript function gets called and the hidden field value gets updated to 'true'. Again this is all fine.
After I submit the form and update the database, I set the hidden field value back to 'false' in the code behind:
hdnDirtyFlag.Value = "false";
But when I click another button and do a postback, the hidden field value is still at 'true'.
Can anyone explain why this is? I stepped through the code behind and immediately after changing the value I can see the value is 'false'. There is an asp:UpdatePanel on the page but the hidden field is not part of this panel.
EDIT:
This is the code I use to check the value of the field in code behind in the second postback, after it has been set to false in the last step of the first postback. The value remains at true for some reason in the second postback, after it has been set to true in javascript on the client side then set back to false in code behind as shown above:
if (hdnDirtyFlag.Value == "true")
{
UpdateSecurityObject();
}

I'm trying to use jQuery to disable an ASP.Net button control and set the flag in a hidden input field. However, the value does not seem to be staying, for some reason. I am new to jQuery, so I'm having a hard time trouble-shooting this:

I am using C# for my programming. I am facing issue, that my hidden variable value is not being updated when it is in update panel. Please see below code for aspx:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="10000" OnTick="Timer1_Tick">
</asp:Timer>
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hidCurrentDate" value="" />
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hidTripIds" value="" />
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hidTripDetails" value="" />
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="uprogTrips" runat="server">
<ProgressTemplate>
<span style="display: block; text-align: center">
<p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: larger; font-weight: bold;">
<img src="../../Images/ajax-loader.gif" alt="Processing..." /><br />
<br />
Processing...</p>
</span>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upTripsGrid" runat="server" UpdateMode="Always">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:GridView ID="gvAllTrips" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gvAllTrips_RowDataBound"
OnPageIndexChanging="gvAllTrips_PageIndexChanging" AllowPaging="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<PagerSettings Mode="NumericFirstLast" PageButtonCount="35" Position="TopAndBottom" />
<PagerStyle CssClass="GridPager" />
</asp:GridView>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Timer1" EventName="Tick" />
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="ddSortBy" EventName="SelectedIndexChanged" />
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="ddFilterBy" EventName="SelectedIndexChanged" />
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="cbPageOptions" EventName="CheckedChanged" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
and below is the code where I am trying to update one of the hidden field with my CS code. Interesting, when I am trying to debug its showing all the values, however when I see it f on page source it doesn't give any value. Here is my aspx.cs code:
protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dtTrips = null;
WEX.Prototype.Data.TripDA tripDA = new WEX.Prototype.Data.TripDA();
string tID = hidTripIds.Value;
string[] tripIDs = new string[1000];
tripIDs = tID.Split(',');
foreach (string tripID in tripIDs)
{
TripSummaryBO tripSummaryBO = tripDA.getTripSummary(Convert.ToInt32(tripID));
if (tripSummaryBO.tripLastEditedOnDate > Convert.ToDateTime(hidCurrentDate.Value))
{
WEX.Prototype.Service.WSProxies WSProxies = new WEX.Prototype.Service.WSProxies();
dtTrips = WSProxies.Build();
Session["AllTrips"] = dtTrips;
dtTrips = (DataTable)Session["AllTrips"];
if (dtTrips != null)
{
if (cnt==0)
{
hidTripDetails.Value = ("Trip name-" + tripSummaryBO.tripName + " was modified by user " + tripSummaryBO.tripLastEditedBy);
}
else
{
hidTripDetails.Value = hidTripDetails.Value + " <br/> " + ("Trip name-" + tripSummaryBO.tripName + " was modified by user " + tripSummaryBO.tripLastEditedBy);
}
BuildGridViewControl(dtTrips);
cnt = cnt + 1;
}
}
else
{
//upTripsGrid.Triggers.Clear();
PageInit();
}
}
}

I have a custom user control which contains a asp hiddenfield object. The value of this hidden field is being set using javascript and I have verified that the value is being set properly. When a postback occurs the new value is not being saved and I cannot access it in my code.
I believe the problem is because the user control is not saved in viewstate and therefore the hidden field value is not saved accross postback. How can I make the hidden field save its value? I tried accessing it from the early page cycles and still no luck.

I am working on a web application and I want to incorporate the jQuery Highlight functionality. The way it is set up now is there is a gridview with a link button to add an entry. When you select the link button to add an entry a form appears to fill out all of the information. Once the information is filled out and the user selects "Insert" I would like to have the insert onClick function in the code behind somehow activate the jQuery Highlight command. I can not seem to get this to work.

how am I be able to assign a value to my hidden field control? I have this web service that returns member's ID and name (e.g. 0001-John dela Vega). In order for me to search for a member, I'm using an autocomplete extender, now, if in case that I found the member I'd like to assign its member id to a hidden field. I ask this because I'd like to change the way my web service return data so instead of displaying the member's id and name at the same, I'll just show its member name.

I have a hiddenfield, which I want to save the scroll position of asp.panel scrollbar during postback, and when during postback this value is called back to set the scroll position.
Using javascript I can grab the value from the scrollbar, and assign it to the hidden field, but when I post the page back the value has gone.
Here is my code snippet:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function SetScroll(val) {
[code].....Am I missing something? How do I keep the value during post back?

you save data into a dynamic hidden field ,which is created dynamically during the handling of some postback event.what is the best way to retrieve it from this field upon a postback, (besides searching the request for the key of this hidden field and then retrieving the corresponding value as in the code below)?
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool found = false;
for (int i=0; i<this.Request.Form.Keys.Count; i++)

I have a form in MVC3 that includes a check box to copy data if it is the same as a previous form. If the checkbox is checked, it populates the text box with the content from the hidden field. Here's a sample to illustrate what I'm doing:
[Code]....
When the box is checked, it calls FillInfo(), which uses DHTML to fill the TextBox called "ThisInfo" with the value of the hidden field "DefaultInfo."
Here's the problem: if the form fails validation (e.g. "ThisInfo" is a required field and is left blank), the hidden "DefaultInfo" box is getting cleared out -- which I DON'T want it to do. As a result, when the checkbox is clicked, it is copying empty data into the "ThisInfo" field.

I inherited some JavaScript that I was told to integrate into our ASP.NET site. I thought this would be straightforward but it's turning out to be a bit of a challenge.
The code looks something like this:
<SELECT id="Question1" name="Question" onchange="updateQuestion();">
<OPTION value="notChosen">--Please Select One--</OPTION>
<OPTION value="in">India</OPTION>
<OPTION value="de">Germany</OPTION>
<OPTION value="fr">France</OPTION>
<OPTION value="us">United States</OPTION>
<OPTION value="ch">Switzerland</OPTION>
</SELECT>
The goal is to get the value from this HTML control into ASP.NET, however this control itself is being dynamically generated by another chunk of javascript, so I can't just change this to an asp.net control. My solution was to add the onchange="updateQuestion();" method, this JS will take these SELECT tags and place the values into an ASP.NET control:
function updateSecQ() {
var sQuestion = document.getElementById('<%=sQuestion.ClientID%>');
sQuestion.Value = "";
var questions = document.getElementsByName('Question');
for (question in questions) {
if (questions[question].value != null)
sQuestion.Value += questions[question].value + ",";
}
alert(sQuestion.Value);
}
As you can see, that's looking to update an ASP.NET control:
<asp:HiddenField ID="sQuestion" runat="server" value="" />
This appears to all work, however when I goto the server side on the form submit I see that sQuestion.Value is still = "".

I have a component that determines a value on a postback event.
protected void Button_Click(object s, EventArgs e)
{
HiddenField.Value = 5;
}
There's more involved in the value of course, but HiddenField is an asp:HiddenField control with runat=server set. I have in my javascript:
var id = $("#<%= HiddenField.ClientID %>").val();
The code in the javascript is set to be run only after the postback has occured (a different client click event) for the purpose of passing the hidden field value via QueryString to another URL (since i can't do a response redirect on postbacks and the client wants it in a different page anyway).
I tried adding:
ScriptManager.RegisterHiddenField(HiddenField, "Value", string.Empty);
To a !Page.IsPostback section of code, but the ID is still not set when the javascript is run.
