View 10 Repliesusing vb.net/asp.net 2005 after the user clicks on a button in the buttonClick event I am trying to set the focus at the end of the function simply as follows:
[Code]....
However the focus is instead going to another button. The tabIndex property is not set on any controls on the page.
In my markup, in addition to a number of other controls I have the following:
<%:Html.TextBoxFor( m => m.UserName)%>
I'd like to be able to set the focus to this textbox when the page is loaded. Is there a really easy way to do this? I have to admit that so far I haven't found it. I know that I can do this using something like this JQuery/Javascript code: $('#UserName').focus();
However, I don't like the fact that the model field name 'UserName' has to be expressed as a string constant again here - it smells of a maintenance problem. I'd really like to be able to reference the model field directly if possible. Somethiing like this: $('#' + '<%:Html.ModelFieldNameFor(m => m.UserName)%>').focus();
I have a panel which contains a textbox and a button. The panel will be shown as a modal popup using the 'modal popup extender' . I want to set the focus to the textbox in the panel when my modal pop up loads .

I am trying to set the focus to the user name TextBox which is inside an ASP.NET Login control.
I have tried to do this a couple of ways but none seem to be working. The page is loading but not going to the control.
Here is the code I've tried.
SetFocus(this.loginForm.FindControl("UserName"));
And
TextBox tbox = (TextBox)this.loginForm.FindControl("UserName");
if (tbox != null)
{
tbox.Focus();
} // if
Asp.NET v2.0
Data grid with mulitple texboxes per row.
Each textbox has a TextChange() event wired up for data validation.
These events fire just fine, the data validation works just fine.
My issue is this: User enters text into TextBox1 one then tabs into TextBox2. The cursor appears for a split second inside of TextBox2 then disappears as focus is being set somewhere else on the page. I'm not sure how that change of focus is happening.
In this scenario, after tabbing out of TextBox1, how can I maintain focus on TextBox2 (and then subsequently TextBox3, TextBox4,etc..)
I've got a simple ASP.Net form with txtBox and btn.
User click btn, which adds text to an ASP:TextBox in a postback (its adding a known "starter text".
After the postback I'd like the focus to be set to the end of the text in the textbox.
If I call Page.SetFocus(...) or txtBox.Focus() then the txtBox gets focus, but at the beginning of the text - which means if the user starts typing, they'll be in the wrong place.
e.g.
cursor100-01
would like it to be
100-01cursor
I've tried the following in the textbox:
onfocus="alert('focus');this.value = this.value;"
but the "alert" only appears the first two times? Then nothing?
I have a gridview with edit button. I want to set focus on a textbox in a row when clicking "Edit" button. (it is a label before clicking edit, it become a textbox after clicking edit). However, i can't set it focus in Rowdatabound. By the way, I make a simple .aspx page and just put a textbox on the tabcontainer tab panel. I found that i totally cannot set focus on this text box.
Here is aspx page with a text box, the .aspx page code is below:

I have a text box in a gridview that is causing some problems with user input. The first time the user opens the page the gridview is populated with zero's in all rows textboxes. I set the focus to the first textbox in the Page_Load event but the cursor is placed to the left of the zero and when some users enter data they don't realize the zero doesn't go away so the first row ends up wrong. Once the tab or enter key is hit and the next row is selected, the zero is "selected", for lack of a better term like when the insert key is predded, and once the user starts typing only the new value remains. Is there a way to make the zero in the first row "selected" ?
View 1 RepliesI have a usercontrol which contains a textbox. I now want to add variable to that user control, lets call it Text, which will populate the textbox with the value passed in. I thought this could be done in the "set" of the variable in the code behind of the user control.
public string Text
{
get {}
set
{
txtBox.Text = value;
}
}
txtBox is the ID of the textbox within the usercontrol. Does anyone know how this can be done?
Edit The problem I suspect is that I am setting the text value in the Page_Load of the page hosting the user control. Where should I be setting this value?
I've been hired to clean up a website that was written by another company. One of the main issues they have is that the navigation menu doesn't always match the content. On closer look, they didn't use a navigation control or an accordion, but made their own user control out of HTML UL's and LI's (see below). Each section is supposed to expand when you click on it to offer sub menus. Any how, I am trying to find a way when the content pages load to force the menu to focus on the correct UL. Any thoughts on how to do this? By the way they wrote this stuff in 2.0, which I guess maybe why they didn't use the Accordion from the AJAX Toolkit.
HTML Code:
<div class="left-menu">
<div class="arrowlistmenu">
<h3 id="H3mymessage" class="menuheader expandable" onclick="RedirectBrowser(1)">
My Messages
</h3>
[Code] ....
Redirect Browser is defined on the master page:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function RedirectBrowser(ID) {
if (ID == 1)
window.location="MyMessageList.aspx?MessageFolderID=-1";
else if (ID == 2)
[Code] ....
Here is an example of how it is messed up. My Messages should be highlighted but My Profile is.
This was generated from my asp.net page. (ListBox was rendered as select element)
I was able to isolate the focus problem from the ListBox to the following HTML.
Just copy-paste the HTML bellow and open it in a browser window.
The browser renders the Focus in a strange way. I have to solve it for one of our clients.
If the Height is set to 185px the focus doesn't work properly. I tried to play around with different heights.
Btw, if the Height is set to 81px there's no problem with the Focus.
But I have to have the height at least 170px.

Can anyone give me some VB to set focus to a control using the "FindControl" method. MyTextbox.focus() is not good enough because, for instance, I have a textbox called "Username" in the "CreateNewUserWizard" control which is within a Contentplaceholder on a child page so typing in "Username.focus()" does not work on the Page_Load event because Username simply does not have a Focus property.
View 1 RepliesI have a page that when auto or partial post back happens, focus is set to the address bar rather than the next control. The interesting thing is that when I put an alert in my RadScriptBlock, after the OK is clicked, focus goes to the correct control -or- if I put in an invalid location, focus is returned to the ExpLocation control & when a correct location is input the second time, the tab order/focus command works correctly (see code below).
That has this up top

I use a modalpopupextender to show a popup when the user clicks on a button.
<ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpe1" runat="server" TargetControlID="statusInfoLb" PopupControlID="statusInfoPanel" DropShadow="false"
OkControlID="okBtn" OnOkScript="onOk()">
</ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender>
<asp:Panel ID="statusInfoPanel" runat="server" Height="185px" Width="454px" SkinID="Panel_Notification2" DefaultButton="okBtn">
The panel has an OK-Button to dispose the popup. It is also possible to click Return to dispose the popup, because the panel has the property DefaultButton="okBtn".
But this only works when the popup has the focus, which is not so from the start. How do I get the popup panel to have the focus when it shows? I would like to use jQuery.
I am not sure how to explain my current issue. Right now I have a Form that spans a couple of pages. I have divided the Form into multiple section as well including a File Upload section, a File Download section, and have an 'Update' button at the bottom of the Form. I also have Error labels within each section, and have an Error label at the bottom of the Form under the 'Update' button.The problem that I am experiencing right now is that when I produce one of these errors, the Form automatically displays the very top of the page. So in other words, if the error message is displayed at the bottom of the Form, the user has no idea unless they scroll all the way down.Is there anyway to keep the application focus at the area where the button is clicked on? This way if the user produces an error, they will see it right away.
View 4 RepliesI have wierd situation on my side. I have a page that uses a user control driven by ajax. When I enter a code in txtbox. Corresponding questions for that code are brought into the middle section of page basically in user control. I have requirement of setting the focus on the controls so that I can tabout the field with feel of questions being a part of same page.
I have to manually set the focus for the first question and after going thru all the questions I get control lost. Basically it dont come back to the actual page. I have tried to manually put the focus on the button but I couldnt.
I have an autocomplete extender on my page and it works fine. However as soon as I set focus of its textbox via either straight javascript or codebehind the autocompleteextender no longer works.
View 2 RepliesWe have an ASP.NET MVC application which uses lot of JQueries. One of them I found is following:
function (data)
{
updatePoints(function ()
{
$('#point-list>li').last().click();
});
});
This sets the focus to the last point in my list but I think its not good idea because when I click save button to update my intermediate point, it automatically set the focus to last point. I want it to stay on the same point after refresh. Is it possible to do? Is there any property like Current()?
i have calendar extender that has targetcontrol property set to a textbox and i want the focus to be on that textbox after the user select a date , i have tried with this OnClientDateSelectionChanged = "SetControlFocus();" in which SetControlFocus is a javascript function that set the focus to the textbox with this line document.getElementById('txtbox').focus(); but it didn't work!
View 5 RepliesI'm having some trouble setting the ExecutionTimeout element in my applications web.config. My page is making a lengthy webservice call and times out after 110 seconds. (the default I believe). I set the value to 220, and make sure the compilation debug=false.
Does the compilation setting refer to when IIS/ASP.net compiles the ASPX pages when a client requests them, or does it refer to the visual studio compile process there the assemblies are created. Would using an assembly built using debug in visual studio still allow the above settings to work?
I would like to know whether it is possbile to have a script that allow user to focus one from textbox to another textbox by onkeypress event.
