__doPostBack not working in chrome and safari - c#

__doPostBack() function works in FF and IE,but not working in safari and chrome.
I have following code in my asp.net c# application
ASPX Code
Click here
JS Function
function SetPosition() {
__doPostBack('ahref', 'link');
}
CS Code
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
// Other code is here
}
else if (Request.Params["__EVENTARGUMENT"] != null && Convert.ToString(Request.Params["__EVENTARGUMENT"]).Trim() == "link")
{
Session["TopPossition"] = "9999";
}
}

I believe you need to pass the server control id as the EventTarget and not the client id when you use __doPostBack call. Try changing the __doPostBack call as so...
<a id="someclientid" name="someuniqueid" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="__doPostBack('someuniqueid', '');">val</a>
By default, controls use __doPostBack to do the postback to the server. __doPostBack takes the UniqueID of the control (or in HTML, the name property of the HTML element). The second parameter is the name of the command to fire.

The onclick event handler needs to supress the links default behavior to navigate to what's specified in the href attribute.
It should be like this:
<a href="#" onclick="SetPosition(); return false " >Click here</a>
you can provide redirection in SetPosition() if required.

HTML automatically mapping href to root

I have an anchor tag with the href set as:
; Click Here
When I click on Click here, it redirects to http://mywebsite/$myfunction(1234).
This page obviously does not exist. How do I ensure that clicking on the above link does not map to the root? I would like it to call the javascript function.
Note: I cannot do this:
Click Here.
The reason is that we have a 3rd party crawler (no source code available) that searches for anchor tags on our page and picks up the href part for the link and fails if not found in the exact format $myfunction(param)$
HTML anchor link specification does not support adding a javascript function as the value of the href attribute. Per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a you should add an URL or an URL fragment.
If you need to add it this way you can add the onclick event to anchor like this:
; Click Here
Then you just need to make sure you function returns false and/or calls event.preventDefault this is to avoid redirection.
You can use the onClick event handler to call the function and prevent the default action of the link with event.preventDefault().
Click Here
<br/>
Link that does NOT have its default action prevented
<script>
function myfunction(e){
e.preventDefault();
console.log("Function myfunction() called");
}
function function2(){
console.log("Function function2() called");
}
</script>
have you tried to invoke the onClick handler?
; Click Here
Another approach is the following
function MyFunction(param){
alert(param);
}
(function() {
var aElements = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
var aList = Array.prototype.slice.call(aElements);
aList.forEach(function(elem) {
var regex = /\$(.*?)\$/g;
var result =regex.exec(elem.href);
if (result != undefined && result.length > 0) {
elem.onclick= function(){
//executes function
eval(result[result.length-1]);
//prevents href action;
return false;
}
}
});
})();
I have a function
<br/>
I have a normal link
<br/>
I have another function
You can use the 'onclick' attribute of the link tag instead of href,
For example "Click Here"

open page in new tab asp.net [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Response.Redirect to new window
(20 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am writing a project using ASP.NET C#.
I want to implement linkbutton click event to open new page in a new tab, but before I have to create new session variable. I have tried this:
protected void LinkButton_Click3(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string p_id = (sender as LinkButton).CommandArgument;
Session["p_id"] = p_id;
Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'> window.open('details.aspx','_blank'); </script>");
}
But it doesn't work anyway.
Based on your comments, you should disable your popup blocker.
Try this, call this function on button click or document.ready only on page where you want to redirect from.
<script type="text/javascript">
function newTab()
{
if (opener.document.getElementById("aspnetForm").target != "_blank") return;
opener.document.getElementById("aspnetForm").target = "";
opener.document.getElementById("aspnetForm").action = opener.location.href;
}
</script
or add this to linkbutton html
OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';"
Sometimes it works for me to just declare whatever I would invoke dynamically from the administrated code into a javascript function and just call it from within with the
RegisterClientScriptBlock method in ClientScript class:
Daclare the window.open function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetRedirect(URI) {
window.open(URI, "Details", "menubar=no, location=no, resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes, status=yes, width = 1200, height = 600");
}
</script>
And from within the code behind class just a gateway caller to this function like:
void MessageGateway(string URI)
{
this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),
"logCallBack", #"<script type=""text/javascript"">SetRedirect('" + URI + "');</script>");
}
And that's it, you may call this gateway with your stuff as normally you do,
MessageGateway(string.Format("../IRMQueryPO.aspx?id={0}", e.Item.Cells[2].Text));
You can try tweeking the "target" parameter with "_blank" in order to open a tab instead a window, it's just a matter of the flavor your solution points in.

Fetch JS return value in server side page_load event in asp.net

I have an aspx master/content page scenario. The parent page has an IFrame which points to a child.aspx. The child.aspx has a checkbox, On page_load of child.aspx, I want to show/hide the checkbox depending on the following logic:
- if the child.aspx is opened directly, then I have to show the checkbox.
- if the child.aspx is opened in the IFrame, then I have to hide the checkbox.
Basically, I want to check in child.aspx, if it contains a parent window then hide the checkbox control otherwise show it.
I will prefer the show/hide code in codebehind in Page_load event as I have to execute some more logic depending on whether the it is opened from parent window or not.
Till now I did the following:
In child.aspx
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="Main" Runat="Server">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function DoesParentExists()
{
var bool = (parent.location == window.location)? false : true;
var HClientID ='<%=hfDoesParentExist.ClientID%>';
document.getElementById(HClientID).Value = bool;
}
</script>
<div>
<h2>Content - In IFrame</h2>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" id="hfDoesParentExist" />
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkValid" runat="server" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton_FillW8Online" ImageUrl="~/images/expand.gif"
OnClick="btnVerify_Click" runat="server" style="height: 11px" />
</div>
</asp:Content>
in client.aspx.cs
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "DoesParentExists", "DoesParentExists()", true);
if (hfDoesParentExist.Value == "true")
{
chkValid.Visible = false;
}
}
Using RegisterClientScriptBlock, I get error in JS. That the object hfDoesParentExist doesn't exist 'coz the control is not yet created. Right? I tried using RegisterStartupScript but in codebehind I always get null in hidden variable. I don't want to use the on button click or something like it. I need it on page_load event only. How to resolve the issue?
This line:
document.getElementById(HClientID).Value = bool;
Should be: (lower case value)
document.getElementById(HClientID).value = bool;
Also you cannot check the value of a hidden field set by javascript register callback, in the current executing context on the server side.
I would move the logic to the client side to hide or show the checkbox. If the field must indeed be removed from the page you can do that as well with javascript.
function DoesParentExists()
{
var bool = (parent.location == window.location)? false : true;
var cehckboxId ='<%=chkValid.ClientID%>';
if(bool){
document.getElementById(cehckboxId).style.display = 'none';
}
else {
document.getElementById(cehckboxId).style.display = 'block';
}
}
You may want to wrap the checkbox with a div and hide the container also to include the label.
To do it server-side, I would rely on a querystring parameter. Have the parent page load the child page by appending ?inframe=1. Then check for that value in your Page_Load.

Can't get ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript in WebControl nested in UpdatePanel to work

I am having what I believe should be a fairly simple problem, but for the life of me I cannot see my problem. The problem is related to ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript, something I have used many times before.
The scenario I have is that I have a custom web control that has been inserted into a page. The control (and one or two others) are nested inside an UpdatePanel. They are inserted onto the page onto a PlaceHolder:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="pnlAjax" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="placeholder" runat="server">
</asp:PlaceHolder>
...
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e){
placeholder.Controls.Add(Factory.CreateControl());
base.OnInit(e);
}
This is the only update panel on the page.
The control requires some initial javascript be run for it to work correctly. The control calls:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(),
Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), script, true);
and I have also tried:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(),
Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), script, true);
The problem is that the script runs correctly when the page is first displayed, but does not re-run after a partial postback. I have tried the following:
Calling RegisterStartupScript from CreateChildControls
Calling RegisterStartupScript from OnLoad / OnPreRender
Using different combinations of parameters for the first two parameters (in the example above the Control is Page and Type is GetType(), but I have tried using the control itself, etc).
I have tried using persistent and new ids (not that I believe this should have a major impact either way).
I have used a few breakpoints and so have verified that the Register line is being called correctly.
The only thing I have not tried is using the UpdatePanel itself as the Control and Type, as I do not believe the control should be aware of the update panel (and in any case there does not seem to be a good way of getting the update panel?).
Can anyone see what I might be doing wrong in the above?
Thanks :)
Well, to answer the query above - it does appear as if the placeholder somehow messes up the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript.
When I pull the control out of the placeholder and code it directly onto the page the Register script works correctly (I am also using the control itself as a parameter).
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), script, true);
Can anyone throw any light on why an injected control onto a PlaceHolder would prevent the ScriptManager from correctly registering the script? I am guessing this might have something to do with the lifecycle of dynamic controls, but would appreciate (for my own knowledge) if there is a correct process for the above.
I had an issue using this in a user control (in a page this worked fine); the Button1 is inside an updatepanel, and the scriptmanager is on the usercontrol.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string scriptstring = "alert('Welcome');";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "alertscript", scriptstring, true);
}
Now it seems you have to be careful with the first two arguments, they need to reference your page, not your control
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.Page.GetType(), "alertscript", scriptstring, true);
I think you should indeed be using the Control overload of the RegisterStartupScript.
I've tried the following code in a server control:
[ToolboxData("<{0}:AlertControl runat=server></{0}:AlertControl>")]
public class AlertControl : Control{
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e){
base.OnInit(e);
string script = "alert(\"Hello!\");";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(),
"ServerControlScript", script, true);
}
}
Then in my page I have:
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e){
base.OnInit(e);
Placeholder1.Controls.Add(new AlertControl());
}
Where Placeholder1 is a placeholder in an update panel. The placeholder has a couple of other controls on in it, including buttons.
This behaved exactly as you would expect, I got an alert saying "Hello" every time I loaded the page or caused the update panel to update.
The other thing you could look at is to hook into some of the page lifecycle events that are fired during an update panel request:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance()
.add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);
The PageRequestManager endRequestHandler event fires every time an update panel completes its update - this would allow you to call a method to set up your control.
My only other questions are:
What is your script actually doing?
Presumably you can see the script in the HTML at the bottom of the page (just before the closing </form> tag)?
Have you tried putting a few "alert("Here");" calls in your startup script to see if it's being called correctly?
Have you tried Firefox and Firebug - is that reporting any script errors?
When you call ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript, the "Control" parameter must be a control that is within an UpdatePanel that will be updated. You need to change it to:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), script, true);
The solution is to put the scripts in an outside js file (lets called 'yourDynamic.js') and re-register de file everytime you refresh the updatepanel.
I use this in the updatepanel_prerender event:
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(UpdatePanel1, UpdatePanel1.GetType(), "UpdatePanel1_PreRender", _
"<script type='text/javascript' id='UpdatePanel1_PreRender'>" & _
"include('yourDynamic.js');" & _
"removeDuplicatedScript('UpdatePanel1_PreRender');</script>" _
, False)
In the page or in some other include you will need this javascript:
// Include a javascript file inside another one.
function include(filename)
{
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
for(var x=0;x<scripts.length;> {
if (scripts[x].getAttribute('src'))
{
if(scripts[x].getAttribute('src').indexOf(filename) != -1)
{
head.removeChild(scripts[x]);
break;
}
}
}
script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = filename;
script.type = 'text/javascript';
head.appendChild(script)
}
// Removes duplicated scripts.
function removeDuplicatedScript(id)
{
var count = 0;
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
var firstScript;
for(var x=0;x<scripts.length;> {
if (scripts[x].getAttribute('id'))
{
if(scripts[x].getAttribute('id').indexOf(id) != -1)
{
if (count == 0)
{
firstScript = scripts[x];
count++;
}
else
{
head.removeChild(firstScript);
firstScript = scripts[x];
count = 1;
}
}
}
}
clearAjaxNetJunk();
}
// Evoids the update panel auto generated scripts to grow to inifity. X-(
function clearAjaxNetJunk()
{
var knowJunk = 'Sys.Application.add_init(function() {';
var count = 0;
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
var firstScript;
for(var x=0;x<scripts.length;> {
if (scripts[x].textContent)
{
if(scripts[x].textContent.indexOf(knowJunk) != -1)
{
if (count == 0)
{
firstScript = scripts[x];
count++;
}
else
{
head.removeChild(firstScript);
firstScript = scripts[x];
count = 1;
}
}
}
}
}
Pretty cool, ah...jejeje
This part of what i posted some time ago here.
Hope this help... :)
I had an issue with Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartUpScript - I wasn't using an update panel, but the control was cached. This meant that I had to insert the script into a Literal (or could use a PlaceHolder) so when rendered from the cache the script is included.
A similar solution might work for you.
DO NOT Use GUID For Key
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.Page, typeof(UpdatePanel)
Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), myScript, true);
and if you want to do that , call Something Like this function
public static string GetGuidClear(string x)
{
return x.Replace("-", "").Replace("0", "").Replace("1", "")
.Replace("2", "").Replace("3", "").Replace("4", "")
.Replace("5", "").Replace("6", "").Replace("7", "")
.Replace("8", "").Replace("9", "");
}
What worked for me, is registering it on the Page while specifying the type as that of the UpdatePanel, like so:
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.Page, typeof(UpdatePanel) Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), myScript, true);
Sometimes it doesnt fire when the script has some syntax error, make sure the script and javascript syntax is correct.
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),script, true );
The "true" param value at the end of the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript will add a JavaScript tag inside your page:
<script language='javascript' defer='defer'>your script</script >
If the value will be "false" it will inject only the script witout the --script-- tag.
I try many things and finally found that the last parameter must be false and you must add <SCRIPT> tag to the java script :
string script = "< SCRIPT >alert('hello!');< /SCRIPT>";
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, Page.GetType(), key, script, **false**);

Response.Redirect to new window

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);
