Button click event being fired automatically during TextBoxFor Enter key press

The issue I am facing now is a button click event is automatically being fired when enter key is pressed in Html.TextBoxFor(). I am having a main view. In this view there are 3 buttons. On each of 2 button click a partial view is opened and during 3rd button click, a new view is opened. Please see the code below :
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
SetUpDatePickers();
});
$('#button1').click(function (event) {
$('#divdefinetraj').toggle();
$('#button1').hide();
$('#button2').hide();
$('#button3').hide();
event.preventDefault();
GetTrajectories();
});
$('#button2').click(function (event) {
$('#divRequestTT').toggle();
$('#button1').hide();
$('#button2').hide();
$('#button3').hide();
event.preventDefault();
});
$('#button3').click(function (event) {
window.location.href = '/UserManagement/UsersList/';
event.preventDefault();
});
</script>
I clicked button1 and the first partial view is opened :
The partial view has below code :
#Html.TextBoxFor(u => u.TrajName, new { #class = "txtboxclass", #id = "TrajName" })
My issue is when I press "Enter" key inside this text box, the code for button1 in main view is being executed :
$('#button1').click(function (event) {
$('#divdefinetraj').toggle();
$('#button1').hide();
$('#button2').hide();
$('#button3').hide();
event.preventDefault();
GetTrajectories();
});
This results in all the buttons being hidden and the view becomes useless unless user reloads the view forcefully.
I tried to handle the onchange() event of the textboxfor and redirected to below function, but it doesn't handle.
function EnterKeyFilter() {
if (window.event.keyCode == 13) {
event.returnValue = false;
event.cancel = true;
}
}
Even I tried the same function for div - click() .. It doesn't work.
When I press the enter key the exact button1 click is being handled with this information event = j…y.Event {originalEvent: MouseEvent, type: "click", timeStamp: 7055.025000000001, jQuery110208686809991100928: true, toElement: button#button1.
But I am not clicking it either. The partial view is not part of a form also and form submission is not the issue. I am new to ASP.NET MVC and confused with this strange behavior. Please help. Thanks in advance.

If you want to disable your press enter in your keyboard, try this:
$(function () {
//On your document ready function, add this:
$('html').bind('keypress', function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
return false;
}
});
}

Try to keep all three buttons in different form tags and made them submit button.
So in this case, whenever you hit enter in a form input, respective button will be clicked. To prevent full page postback, use e.preventDefault() in button click event.
HTML:
<form id="frm1">
-------------
-------------
<input id="btnSubmit" type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
jQuery
$("#btnSubmit").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
-- rest of code
});

Issue in opening pop-up window by clicking button multiple times in MVC4?

Hi i got issue in opening pop-up window multiple times while clicking button. I will explain my issue clearly.
Hi, this is my parent view Customer Form.I have one add button near to Area if i enter the CustomerName AddressType, Street, Location,Place and then select the area.Suppose if area is not in the list means i have to add that. so i click that add button it will open AreaPartial view as popup window.
After i enter the details and click the create button it will save the data in db and it shows the same popup window when it was close means when i click x mark[which is in the pop up window right top corner ) . Now all are working fine.
Now my issue is i open the pop-up window by clicking the button and add the area and close the pop-up window before clicking the main save button in parent view i have to add another one area so i click the add button again but it wont opening the pop-up window . This is my issue.
My Controller code to save the data which is entered in the partial view pop-up window
public ActionResult AreaPartialView()
{
ViewBag.CityID = new SelectList(db.Cities, "CityID", "DisplayName");
return View("AreaPartialView");
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddAreaInfo(CustomerViewModel objareaVM)
{
var objAreaID = Guid.NewGuid();
ViewBag.CityID = new SelectList(db.Cities, "CityID", "DisplayName", objareaVM.CityID);
var ObjArea = new Area()
{
AreaID =objAreaID,
DisplayName = objareaVM.Area,
PrintName = objareaVM.Area,
CityID = objareaVM.CityID,
IsActive = true,
IsDeleted = false,
CreatedDate = DateTime.Now,
EditedDate = DateTime.Now,
LastActiveOn = DateTime.Now,
RowID = Guid.NewGuid(),
CreatedSessionID = Guid.NewGuid(),
EditedSessionID = Guid.NewGuid(),
OfflineMode = false,
OfflineID = Guid.NewGuid()
};
db.Areas.Add(ObjArea);
db.SaveChanges();
ModelState.Clear();
return Json(objAreaID);
}
My j-query code to display the area partial view as popup window once the add button is clicked in Parent View
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet"href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />

alert("sucess");
window.close();
});
}
This is my issue i cant able to open my pop-up window multiple times.i tried my level best to explain my issue. please any one help me to solve this issue.
Advance thanks..

Perhaps something like this would help you, as a brief example.
<style>
.floatingbox
{
z-index:99999;
position:absolute;
/* and more of your styling here, the main point is to make to appear above any other element on the page */
}
</style>
<div class="floatingbox" id="inputbox">
</div>
EDIT: <input type="button" value="Add Field" onclick="WhenIGetClicked(this)"/>
function WhenIGetClicked(e)
{
RefershContent();
document.getElementbyId('input').style.left = e.style.left;
document.getElementbyId('input').style.top = e.style.top; // show div at position of button but you can change it to where-ever
}
function RefreshContent()
{
// put your html in here for the different fields you'll need in the div
document.getElementbyId('inputbox').innerHTML = '';
// add the rest of your html mark up but make it as a function so it can be 'refreshed' and look like a new blank form each time, i found this easier than making a partial view and having to deal with loading it into the div/messing with javascript inside the partial view but may be personal preference :)
}
function OnSaveClick()
{
var SomeValueYouWantToPass = document.getElementbyId('inputboxinsidethediv').value; // or innerHTML works sometimes too if it's not getting the value correctly
$.ajax({
type:post,
url: '/MyController/ActionName',
dataType: 'json',
data: { MyVariableOnTheControllerSide: SomeValueYouWantToPass },
success: function()
{
alert('hey it worked!'); // or refresh the page to load the new field, etc
}
)}
}
</script>
On the controller side now:
public JsonResult UpdateField(string MyVariableOnTheControllerSide)
{
//do something with the data.
return Json('Hey it worked!', JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
If you'd like to pass it as a class since that's how you have it set up on your controller, you'll have to create the class as a Json object on the HTML markup side of it when grabbing the values (heck you could even do a for loop of the controls in the div and dynamically grab the values instead of reaching out to each element to get it's value). Very basic run down of how I usually do pop ups. Let me know if you need clarification or if I missed your point :)

checkboxes not styled after ajax call

I have a script file scripts.js with a function that styles all checkboxes in page. This file is referenced in the master page.
There is a user control and a aspx test page for it. On page load, the UC shows a list of checkboxes and the style is applied.
On clicking a button, an ajax call gets a list from database and binds some more checkboxes to the page. But for the new checkboxes, the style is not applied. What could be going wrong.
scripts.js:
function selectcheckBtn() {
alert(1);
if ($("input:checkbox").prev("span").length === 0) {
alert(2);
$("<span class='uncheked'></span>").insertBefore("input:checkbox")
}
$("input:checkbox").click(function () {
check = $(this).is(":checked");
if (check) {
$(this).prev("span").addClass("cheked").removeClass("uncheked")
} else {
$(this).prev("span").addClass("uncheked").removeClass("cheked")
}
});
$("input:checked").prev("span").addClass("cheked").removeClass("uncheked")
}
ctrl.ascx:
<script>
function ShowMore() {
$.ajax({
url: "/_layouts/15/handlers/ShowMore.ashx",
data: {},
success: function (msg) {
//append new chkbox list to existing list. It is hidden at first and later faded in.
$(".divList").append(msg);
selectcheckBtn();
$(".hideDiv").fadeIn(300).removeClass("hideDiv");
},
error: function (msg) {
alert("An error occurred while processing your request");
}
});
}
</script>
Show more
On page load both alerts pop. But on clicking 'Show More', only alert(1) pops.
There are no errors in browser console.
Rendered HTML:
//with style applied to chkboxes on page load
<div><span class="uncheked"></span><input type="checkbox" runat="server" id="406">
<label>Compare</label></div>
//with no style applied to new chkboxes
<div><input type="checkbox" runat="server" id="618"><label>Compare</label></div>

I did not understand why the if condition wasn't true in selectcheckBtn();, for the new chkboxes. So, added a new class for the checkboxes and wrote this workaround.
Now calling this function instead of selectcheckBtn(); in the ajax code, worked.
function StyleCheckBox() {
$(".chkBx").each(function () {
if ($(this).prev("span").length === 0) {
$("<span class='uncheked'></span>").insertBefore($(this));
}
$("input:checkbox").click(function () {
check = $(this).is(":checked");
if (check) {
$(this).prev("span").addClass("cheked").removeClass("uncheked")
} else {
$(this).prev("span").addClass("uncheked").removeClass("cheked")
}
});
$("input:checked").prev("span").addClass("cheked").removeClass("uncheked")
});
}

How do I call up a jQuery UI dialog from ASP.NET code behind without a client-side event?

I'm trying to open a jQuery UI dialog from my C# ASP.NET code based on a value being outside a certain range, rather than based on a button click or other client-side event. Here's the Javascript function that should create the dialog (at the top of the .aspx page):
<script type="text/javascript">
//Total out of range dialog
function ShowRangeDialog() {
$('#rangeDialog').dialog({
modal: true,
width: 'auto',
resizable: false,
draggable: false,
close: function (event, ui) {
$('body').find('#rangeDialog').remove();
},
buttons:
{
'OK': function () {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
});
}
</script>
Here's the dialog div itself (at the bottom of the .aspx page):
<div id="rangeDialog" style="display: none;" title="Total out of range">
<p>
Your line items total is out of the range allowed by the approval level you chose.
Please check the approval range and adjust the line items or quantities.
</p>
</div>
And here's the section of the C# code behind that attempts to display the dialog:
if (currTotal < lowerLim || currTotal > upperLim)
{
//Show jQuery dialog telling user that their line items total is out of range
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "dlgOutOfRange",
"ShowRangeDialog();", true);
}
The code in the if block is being reached and executed if I step through it in the debugger, but the dialog isn't being displayed. What am I missing?

I modified my function slightly, based on a question/answer I found at How do I open a jQuery UI Dialog from my c# code behind?, and now it works. Here's the modified function:
<script type="text/javascript">
//Total out of range dialog
function ShowRangeDialog() {
$(function() {
$('#rangeDialog').dialog({
modal: true,
width: 'auto',
resizable: false,
draggable: false,
close: function (event, ui) { $('body').find('#rangeDialog').remove(); },
buttons: { 'OK': function () { $(this).dialog('close'); }
}
})
}).dialog("open");
}
</script>

try this
if (currTotal < lowerLim || currTotal > upperLim)
{
//Show jQuery dialog telling user that their line items total is out of range
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "dlgOutOfRange",
"ShowRangeDialog();", true);
}
You should just be calling the function name.
Also, you may want to try startupscript instead of registerclientscriptblock. You have to be sure that your script gets added AFTER the function is defined, and not before.
if (currTotal < lowerLim || currTotal > upperLim)
{
//Show jQuery dialog telling user that their line items total is out of range
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "dlgOutOfRange",
"ShowRangeDialog();", true);
}

jQuery UI Modal Dialog - Prevent Action Unless OK clicked

EDIT:
I want to replace the following with a jquery UI dialog:
<asp:LinkButton ID="foo" runat="server" OnClick="someMethodThatPostsBack" OnClientClick="return confirmAction()" Text="Delete" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function confirmAction() {
return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this?");
}
</script>
I don't want the action to post back unless the OK is clicked on the dialog. It works perfectly fine in regular javascript with confirm. I would like to replace it with jQuery UI dialog so it looks a little prettier. Is it possible?
I created a dialog that I open when I click a link or a button:
<a id="aboutLink" href="/Home/About">About</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#aboutLInk").click(function() {
$("myDialog").dialog({
modal: true,
buttons: {
"OK": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
});
</script>
When I click the link it takes me to the About page. I want to be able to show the dialog and only go to the About page depending on if they click the OK button on the dialog. If they hit cancel, it should not do anything. How can I accomplish this?
Also, if I create the dialog every time I click the button do I need to destroy the dialog as well somehow? How do I do that?

You can't really do this - the click handler returns immediately so you have to prevent the link from being followed yourself, if (and only if) Javascript is enabled.
(Return false from your cancel handler to prevent the link from being followed)
To actually change page address when clicking OK, set window.location in the callback.
Yes, you do need to destroy the dialog when it's finished with - replacing close with destroy in your event handlers should achieve that.
I put a working demo at http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/WWVEg/
$("#aboutLink").click(function() {
var that = this; // save a reference to the clicked link
$("#myDialog").dialog({
modal: true,
buttons: {
"OK": function() {
$(this).dialog("destroy");
window.location = that.href;
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog("destroy");
}
}
});
return false;
});
FWIW, it's probably not strictly necessary to close or destroy the dialog in the OK callback seeing as the next line is going to cause a page reload anyway - I expect the new page load would be faster without it.

Oh boy, this is old... but I ran in to the same problem as you and decided to do it like this:
jQuery(function () {
var accepted = false;
jQuery('#dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
bgiframe: true,
width: 450,
modal: true,
open: function () {
accepted = false;
},
buttons: {
"Accept": function () {
accepted = true;
jQuery(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function () {
jQuery(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function () {
if (accepted == false) {
jQuery("#chkBox").prop("checked", false);
}
}
});
});
Basically I just declared a boolean variable that changes when "OK" or "Accept" is clicked. The close function checks that boolean value, and if it's set to false, it unchecks my checkbox. If it's set to true, nothing happens.

Yes you can do same thing using jQuery UI dialog.
Your ASPX button code:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderStyle-Width="100px">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClientClick="javascript:return deleteItem(this.name, this.alt);"
CommandArgument='<%# Eval("id") %>' CommandName='<%# Eval("status") %>' Text='<%# Eval("status").ToString().Trim().Equals("y") ? "Deactive" : "Active" %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Javascript code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
InitializeDeleteConfirmation();
});
function InitializeDeleteConfirmation() {
$('#dialog-confirm').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
height: 140,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Delete": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
}
function confirmDelete() {
return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this?");
}
function deleteItem(uniqueID) {
$("#dialog-confirm").html("Are you sure you want to change the status ?");
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
title: 'Confirm',
height: 150,
width: 400,
buttons: {
"Yes": function () { __doPostBack(uniqueID, '');
$(this).dialog("close"); },
"No": function () { $(this).dialog("close"); }
}
});
$('#dialog-confirm').dialog('open');
return false;
}
</script>
I hope this will help you.

After seeing the comments, below is what works smoothly
Doing it in jQuery UI
You can use plugin jquery.confirm and then add $("#btndelete").trigger("click.confirmed"); in the confirmation events
Usage:
Requirements
jQuery > 1.8
jquery.confirm plugin
Bootstrap
$("#btndelete").confirm({
title:"Delete confirmation",
text:"Are you sure you want to delete ???",
confirm: function(button) {
// Do something..
$("#btndelete").trigger("click.confirmed");// it is to trigger
//the same elements click event which we would trigger without a
//confirmation dialog
//alert("You just confirmed.");
},
cancel: function(button) {
// Do something
//alert("You aborted the operation.");
},
confirmButton: "Yes I am sure",
cancelButton: "No Do not Delete" });
Of course, the solution for those who face the issue now onwards
