This is my html:
<input type="hidden" id="HiddenIndex" name="HiddenIndex" runat="server" />
Some labels and textbox
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnGetCoordinates"
Text="Get Coordinates" OnClick="btnGetCoordinates_Click" />
<asp:Label ID="info" runat="server" Text="Waiting...." />
So when the button Get Coordinates is clicked, it will call the Web Services to return some json results from code behind. A Dialog will popup a listbox with these results. It works perfectly until this point. My goal is when a client select an item in the list and click on "Select" button, it will return the selected item's Index, store in a hidden field and manipulate later from the code behind.
This is my jquery function
function ShowPopup()
{
$("#parentForm").fadeTo(500, .2);
$("#C1Dialog1").dialog({
open: function () {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
},
buttons: [{
text: "Select",
click: function () {
var value = " ";
storedIndex = " ";
var selected = $("[id*=lstCandidates] option:selected");
selected.each(function () {
value = $(this).val();
storedIndex = $(this).index();
$("#HiddenIndex").val(storedIndex);
});
alert(value + " and index is " + storedIndex); //Show value and index
alert("html hidden value " + $("#HiddenIndex").val()); //show value
$(this).dialog("close");
$("#parentForm").fadeTo(500, 1);
},
style: "margin-right: 40px;"
},
{
text: "Cancel",
click: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
$("#parentForm").fadeTo(500, 1);
},
style: "margin-left:0px;"
}]
});
}
</script>
As you can see the alert show the value of the hidden field
This is my code behind
protected void btnGetCoordinates_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Show the Dialog
if (count > 0)
{
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Popup", "ShowPopup();", true);
//never stop here --PROBLEM RIGHT HERE**, there is NO value for Hidden field**
var indexValue = Request.Form["HiddenIndex"];
info.Text = "HiddenIndex is " + indexValue;
}
}
The Info label show nothing when I click on Dialog's select button
Any help would be appreciated , thank you very much.
Probably an issue with the client ID. ASP.NET will not necessarily use the client ID in your markup when emitting the HTML.
There are several ways to fix this, but the easiest is to make the hidden field a plain HTML control. That way ASP.NET won't monkey with it. So change this
<input type="hidden" id="HiddenIndex" name="HiddenIndex" runat="server" />
to this
<input type="hidden" id="HiddenIndex" name="HiddenIndex"/>
Other options:
Set your clientIDmode to static
Modify your jquery selector to use id$='HiddenIndex' so that it ignores any prefix added by ASP.NET.
Warning: I am a novice when it comes to ASP and javascript - I'm more used to desktop apps. Web development is completely new to me.
I have inherited an ASP.net project that I need to keep up-to-date.
My current problem is that I need to display the client time in a text control (label or literal control - doesn't have to specifically be one of those, I just need to show it in text) when the user has clicked a button to 'Save'. If I do it server-side, in the 'SaveChanges' function, I get the time of where the server is.
My button is defined as below:
<asp:Button ID="Save" runat="server" Text="Save Changes" OnClick="SaveChanges"
ValidationGroup="ProjectSummaryValidationGroup"
meta:resourcekey="SaveResource1" />
And my Literal/Label is:
<asp:Label ID="SaveTime" runat="server"></asp:Label>
I have found a javascript function to calculate the client time from one of the other questions on here: (EDIT: I have updated this function so that the text value of my label is being assigned a value)
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetDate(date) {
CurTime = new Date(date);
var offset = (new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60) * (-1);
var utc = CurTime.getTime() + (offset * 60000 * (-1));
var serverDate = new Date(utc + (3600000 * offset));
var dateString = (serverDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + serverDate.getDate() + "/" +
serverDate.getFullYear() + " " + serverDate.toLocaleTimeString("en-US", { hour12: true });
document.getElementById('<%=SaveTime.ClientID%>').Text = dateString;
}
</script>
My problem is I don't know where to put this javascript function in my apsx page, or how to set the Text value of my label to the date string calculated in the function. I don't even know for sure how to 'call' this function...
So my questions are:
Where do I have to define the javascript function?
How to I 'call' this javascript function when the user clicks the 'Save' button, so that the text one my age is updated?
You can use Java Script Function like
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function javascriptFunction()
{
}
</script>
call this function
If you Used Update Panels Then You can Use in .Cs Page:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "javascriptFunction();", true);
or On Button's Click in .aspx page
<asp:Button ID="Save" runat="server" Text="Save Changes" OnClick="SaveChanges"
onClientClick="javascriptFunction();"
ValidationGroup="ProjectSummaryValidationGroup"
meta:resourcekey="SaveResource1" />
Other Wise You can Use in .cs page
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript
(GetType(),Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "javascriptFunction();",true);
set value of Label in javascript:
document.getElementById('<%=SaveTime.ClientID%>').value = "Your Date";
for label :
void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblMyLabel.Attributes.Add("onclick",
"javascript:alert('ALERT ALERT!!!')");
}
when I click on the following button it opens up the page twice. I can not seem to find the error:
the .cs file:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
btnPrint.Attributes.Add("onclick", "openWindow(" + Request.QueryString["cId"].ToString() + "," + Request.QueryString["aId"].ToString() + ");");
}
}
The javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
//Function To Open A New Window To View the selected PDF
function openWindow(cId, aId) {
window.open("printMe.aspx?cId=" + cId + "&aId=" + aId + "", "", "", "");
}
</script>
and the button in the aspx:
<dx:ASPxButton ID="btnPrint" runat="server" Image-Url="~/images/print.bmp" ToolTip="Printer Friendly Page">
</dx:ASPxButton>
changing the javascript like below fixed the problem. I am no expert at javascript.
<script type="text/javascript">
//Function To Open A New Window To View the selected PDF
function openWindow(cId, aId) {
window.open("printMe.aspx?cId=" + cId + "&aId=" + aId,"mywindow");
}
</script>
having a slight problem with an ASP.net page of mine. If a user were to double click on a "submit" button it will write to the database twice (i.e. carry out the 'onclick' method on the imagebutton twice)
How can I make it so that if a user clicks on the imagebutton, just the imagebutton is disabled?
I've tried:
<asp:ImageButton
runat="server"
ID="VerifyStepContinue"
ImageUrl=image src
ToolTip="Go"
TabIndex="98"
CausesValidation="true"
OnClick="methodName"
OnClientClick="this.disabled = true;" />
But this OnClientClick property completely stops the page from being submitted! Any help?
Sorry, yes, I do have Validation controls... hence the icky problem.
Working on this still, up to this point now:
ASP code:
<asp:TextBox ID="hidToken" runat="server" Visible="False" Enabled="False"></asp:TextBox>
...
<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ID="InputStepContinue" Name="InputStepContinue" ImageUrl="imagesrc" ToolTip="Go" TabIndex="98" CausesValidation="true" OnClick="SubmitMethod" OnClientClick="document.getElementById('InputStepContinue').style.visibility='hidden';" />
C# code:
private Random
random = new Random();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Use a Token to make sure it has only been clicked once.
if (Page.IsPostBack)
{
if (double.Parse(hidToken.Text) == ((double)Session["NextToken"]))
{
InputMethod();
}
else
{
// double click
}
}
double next = random.Next();
hidToken.Text = next + "";
Session["NextToken"] = next;
Actually... this nearly works. The double click problem is pretty much fixed (yay!) The image still isn't hidden though.
The general approach is twofold.
Serverside:
On load of the page, generate a token (using System.Random), save it in the session, and write it to a hidden form field
On submit, check that the hidden form field equals the session variable (before setting it again)
Do work
Clientside:
Similar to what you have, but probably just hide the button, and replace it with some text like 'submitting'.
The important thing to note, client side, is that the user may cancel the post by hitting 'escape', so you should consider what to do here (depending on how far along they are the token won't be used, so you'll need to bring the button back from being disabled/hidden).
Complete example follows:
C# (includes code to see it in action):
<html>
<head runat="server">
<title>double-click test</title>
<script language="c#" runat="server">
private Random
random = new Random();
private static int
TEST = 0;
public void Page_Load (object sender, EventArgs ea)
{
SetToken();
}
private void btnTest_Click (object sender, EventArgs ea)
{
if( IsTokenValid() ){
DoWork();
} else {
// double click
ltlResult.Text = "double click!";
}
}
private bool IsTokenValid ()
{
bool result = double.Parse(hidToken.Value) == ((double) Session["NextToken"]);
SetToken();
return result;
}
private void SetToken ()
{
double next = random.Next();
hidToken.Value = next + "";
Session["NextToken"] = next;
}
private void DoWork ()
{
TEST++;
ltlResult.Text = "DoWork(): " + TEST + ".";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
var last = null;
function f (obj)
{
obj.src = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/4659883ec420f39723c3df6ed99971b9?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG";
// Note: Disabling it here produced strange results. More investigation required.
last = obj;
setTimeout("reset()", 1 * 1000);
return true;
}
function reset ()
{
last.src = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/495ce8981a5127a9fd24bd72e7e3664a?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG";
last.disabled = "false";
}
</script>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hidToken" />
<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ID="btnTest"
OnClientClick="return f(this);"
ImageUrl="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/495ce8981a5127a9fd24bd72e7e3664a?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG" OnClick="btnTest_Click" />
<pre>Result: <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ltlResult" /></pre>
</form>
</body>
</html>
If you have validation on the page, disabling the button client side gets a little tricky. If validation fails, you don't want to disable the button. Here's a snippet that adds the client side event handler:
private void BuildClickOnceButton(WebControl ctl)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder sbValid = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
sbValid.Append("if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') { ");
sbValid.Append("if (Page_ClientValidate() == false) { return false; }} ");
sbValid.Append(ctl.ClientID + ".value = 'Please wait...';");
sbValid.Append(ctl.ClientID + ".disabled = true;");
// GetPostBackEventReference obtains a reference to a client-side script
// function that causes the server to post back to the page.
sbValid.Append(ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(ctl, ""));
sbValid.Append(";");
ctl.Attributes.Add("onclick", sbValid.ToString());
}
See this asp.net thread for more info.
Update: the above code would be used to add the OnClientClick handler in code behind. You could also write the javascript in your aspx markup like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
function disableButton(button)
{
// if there are client validators on the page
if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function')
{
// if validation failed return false
// this will cancel the click event
if (Page_ClientValidate() == false)
{
return false;
}
}
// change the button text (does not apply to an ImageButton)
//button.value = "Please wait ...";
// disable the button
button.disabled = true;
// fire postback
__doPostBack(button.id, '');
}
</script>
<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ID="VerifyStepContinue" ImageUrl="button.png"
ToolTip="Go" TabIndex="98" CausesValidation="true" OnClick="methodName"
OnClientClick="return disableButton(this);" />
I have solved this by setting a hidden field on the client click before hitting the server.
Then in the server I check the hidden field and if the value is for example something 'FALSE' that might mean I can or cannot of the action.
Similar to Silky's client-side response, I usually make two buttons that look alike except that the second button is disabled and hidden. OnClientClick of the normal button swaps the display styles of the two buttons so that the normal button is hidden and the disabled button is shown.
The double-click feature is a server-side implementation to prevent processing that same request which can be implemented on the client side through JavaScript. The main purpose of the feature is to prevent processing the same request twice. The server-side implementation does this by identifying the repeated request; however, the ideal solution is to prevent this from occurring on the client side.
In the HTML content sent to the client that allows them to submit requests, a small validation JavaScript can be used to check whether the request has already been submitted and if so, prevent the online shopper from submitting the request again. This JavaScript validation function will check the global flag to see if the request has been submitted and, if so; does not resubmit the request. If the double-click feature is disabled on the server, it is highly recommended that the JSP and HTML pages implement this JavaScript prevention.
The following example prevents the form from being submitted more then once by using the onSubmit() action of the form object:
...
<script>
var requestSubmitted = false;
function submitRequest() {
if (!requestSubmitted ) {
requestSubmitted = true;
return true;
}
return false;
}
</script>
...
<FORM method="POST" action="Logon" onSubmit="javascript:submitRequest()">
......
</FORM>
for those who just want to do a quick fix , just hide it and show another button that has no events
<asp:Button ID="RedeemSubmitButton" runat="server" Text="Submit to Redeem" OnClick="RedeemSubmitButton_Click" OnClientClick="hideit();" />
<asp:Button ID="RedeemSubmitButtonDisabled" style="display:none;" runat="server" Text="please wait" OnClientClick="javascript:alert('please wait, processing');" />
<script>
function hideit() {
var btn = $get('<%= this.RedeemSubmitButton.ClientID %>');
var btn2 = $get('<%= this.RedeemSubmitButtonDisabled.ClientID %>');
if (btn != null)
{
btn.style.display = 'none';
btn2.style.display = 'block'
}
}
</script>
I want to do a Response.Redirect("MyPage.aspx") but have it open in a new browser window. I've done this before without using the JavaScript register script method. I just can't remember how?
I just found the answer and it works :)
You need to add the following to your server side link/button:
OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';"
My entire button code looks something like:
<asp:LinkButton ID="myButton" runat="server" Text="Click Me!"
OnClick="myButton_Click"
OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';"/>
In the server side OnClick I do a Response.Redirect("MyPage.aspx"); and the page is opened in a new window.
The other part you need to add is to fix the form's target otherwise every link will open in a new window. To do so add the following in the header of your POPUP window.
<script type="text/javascript">
function fixform() {
if (opener.document.getElementById("aspnetForm").target != "_blank") return;
opener.document.getElementById("aspnetForm").target = "";
opener.document.getElementById("aspnetForm").action = opener.location.href;
}
</script>
and
<body onload="fixform()">
You can use this as extension method
public static class ResponseHelper
{
public static void Redirect(this HttpResponse response, string url, string target, string windowFeatures)
{
if ((String.IsNullOrEmpty(target) || target.Equals("_self", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) && String.IsNullOrEmpty(windowFeatures))
{
response.Redirect(url);
}
else
{
Page page = (Page)HttpContext.Current.Handler;
if (page == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Cannot redirect to new window outside Page context.");
}
url = page.ResolveClientUrl(url);
string script;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(windowFeatures))
{
script = #"window.open(""{0}"", ""{1}"", ""{2}"");";
}
else
{
script = #"window.open(""{0}"", ""{1}"");";
}
script = String.Format(script, url, target, windowFeatures);
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(page, typeof(Page), "Redirect", script, true);
}
}
}
With this you get nice override on the actual Response object
Response.Redirect(redirectURL, "_blank", "menubar=0,scrollbars=1,width=780,height=900,top=10");
Contruct your url via click event handler:
string strUrl = "/some/url/path" + myvar;
Then:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "popup", "window.open('" + strUrl + "','_blank')", true);
Because Response.Redirect is initiated on the server you can't do it using that.
If you can write directly to the Response stream you could try something like:
response.write("<script>");
response.write("window.open('page.html','_blank')");
response.write("</script>");
The fixform trick is neat, but:
You may not have access to the code
of what loads in the new window.
Even if you do, you are depending on
the fact that it always loads, error
free.
And you are depending on the fact
that the user won't click another
button before the other page gets a
chance to load and run fixform.
I would suggest doing this instead:
OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';setTimeout('fixform()', 500);"
And set up fixform on the same page, looking like this:
function fixform() {
document.getElementById("aspnetForm").target = '';
}
You can also use in code behind like this way
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page.GetType(), "",
"window.open('page.aspx','Graph','height=400,width=500');", true);
This is not possible with Response.Redirect as it happens on the server side and cannot direct your browser to take that action. What would be left in the initial window? A blank page?
popup method will give a secure question to visitor..
here is my simple solution: and working everyhere.
<script type="text/javascript">
function targetMeBlank() {
document.forms[0].target = "_blank";
}
</script>
<asp:linkbutton runat="server" ID="lnkbtn1" Text="target me to blank dude" OnClick="lnkbtn1_Click" OnClientClick="targetMeBlank();"/>
<asp:Button ID="btnNewEntry" runat="Server" CssClass="button" Text="New Entry"
OnClick="btnNewEntry_Click" OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';"/>
protected void btnNewEntry_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("New.aspx");
}
Source: http://dotnetchris.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/c-aspnet-responseredirect-open-into-new-window/
If you can re-structure your code so that you do not need to postback, then you can use this code in the PreRender event of the button:
protected void MyButton_OnPreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string URL = "~/MyPage.aspx";
URL = Page.ResolveClientUrl(URL);
MyButton.OnClientClick = "window.open('" + URL + "'); return false;";
}
You can also use the following code to open new page in new tab.
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Go"
OnClientClick="window.open('yourPage.aspx');return false;"
onclick="Button3_Click" />
And just call Response.Redirect("yourPage.aspx"); behind button event.
I always use this code...
Use this code
String clientScriptName = "ButtonClickScript";
Type clientScriptType = this.GetType ();
// Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
ClientScriptManager clientScript = Page.ClientScript;
// Check to see if the client script is already registered.
if (!clientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered (clientScriptType, clientScriptName))
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ();
sb.Append ("<script type='text/javascript'>");
sb.Append ("window.open(' " + url + "')"); //URL = where you want to redirect.
sb.Append ("</script>");
clientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock (clientScriptType, clientScriptName, sb.ToString ());
}
Here's a jQuery version based on the answer by #takrl and #tom above. Note: no hardcoded formid (named aspnetForm above) and also does not use direct form.target references which Firefox may find problematic:
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" OnClientClick="openNewWin();" Text="Submit" OnClick="btn_OnClick" runat="server"/>
Then in your js file referenced on the SAME page:
function openNewWin () {
$('form').attr('target','_blank');
setTimeout('resetFormTarget()', 500);
}
function resetFormTarget(){
$('form').attr('target','');
}
I used Hyperlink instead of LinkButton and it worked just fine, it has the Target property so it solved my problem. There was the solution with Response.Write but that was messing up my layout, and the one with ScriptManager, at every refresh or back was reopening the window. So this is how I solved it:
<asp:HyperLink CssClass="hlk11" ID="hlkLink" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("LinkText") %>' Visible='<%# !(bool)Eval("IsDocument") %>' Target="_blank" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("WebAddress") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
You may want to use the Page.RegisterStartupScript to ensure that the javascript fires on page load.
you can open new window from asp.net code behind using ajax like I did here
http://alexandershapovalov.com/open-new-window-from-code-behind-in-aspnet-68/
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Calendar1.SelectionChanged += CalendarSelectionChanged;
}
private void CalendarSelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime selectedDate = ((Calendar) sender).SelectedDate;
string url = "HistoryRates.aspx?date="
+ HttpUtility.UrlEncode(selectedDate.ToShortDateString());
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, GetType(),
"rates" + selectedDate, "openWindow('" + url + "');", true);
}
None of the previous examples worked for me, so I decided to post my solution. In the button click events, here is the code behind.
Dim URL As String = "http://www.google/?Search=" + txtExample.Text.ToString
URL = Page.ResolveClientUrl(URL)
btnSearch.OnClientClick = "window.open('" + URL + "'); return false;"
I was having to modify someone else's response.redirect code to open in a new browser.
I used this approach, it doesn't require you to do anything on the popup (which I didn't have access to because I was redirecting to a PDF file). It also uses classes.
$(function () {
//--- setup click event for elements that use a response.redirect in code behind but should open in a new window
$(".new-window").on("click", function () {
//--- change the form's target
$("#aspnetForm").prop("target", "_blank");
//--- change the target back after the window has opened
setTimeout(function () {
$("#aspnetForm").prop("target", "");
}, 1);
});
});
To use, add the class "new-window" to any element. You do not need to add anything to the body tag. This function sets up the new window and fixes it in the same function.
I did this by putting target="_blank" in the linkbutton
<asp:LinkButton ID="btn" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" Text="Print" Visible="false" target="_blank" />
then in the codebehind pageload just set the href attribute:
btn.Attributes("href") = String.Format(ResolveUrl("~/") + "test/TestForm.aspx?formId={0}", formId)
HTML
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="Button1_Click" OnClientClick = "SetTarget();" />
Javascript:
function SetTarget() {
document.forms[0].target = "_blank";}
AND codebehind:
Response.Redirect(URL);
