LoadingElementId in Ajax.BeginForm not displaying the loading image - c#

I have an MVC3 app, and i need to add ajax loading image. I put this on my view
#using (Ajax.BeginForm(
"LogOn","Account",
new AjaxOptions { LoadingElementId = "div_loading" }))
This is my very simple div on the same view:
<div id="div_loading" style="display:none;">
<img src="#Url.Content("~/Content/Images/loading.gif")" alt="" />
</div>
When i click my submit button to post the form back, the loading.gif never appears. My code runs fine, but no loading indicator shows up. And the image is named correctly and in the right place. Does anyone have a clue why?
Update
Apparently, this has something to do with Telerik applications. If i create a regular MVC3 app, it works. When i create a Telerik MVC3 app, it doesnt work. Has anyone else encountered this with Telerik?

You could try this as well from: here
function AjaxBegin()
{
$('#div_loading').show();
}
function AjaxComplete()
{
$("#div_loading").hide();
}
function AjaxFailure(ajaxContext)
{
var response = ajaxContext.responseText;
alert("Error Code [" + ajaxContext.ErrorCode + "] " + response);
}
AjaxOptions:
OnFailure = "AjaxFailure";
OnBegin = "AjaxBegin";
OnComplete = "AjaxComplete";

I prefer to shy away from attaching a loading iamge to every ajax call I make.
The top answer here is a solution to display an ajax spinner (loading image) whenever ajax makes a send call:
Display spinner while waiting For ajax
It has the functionality you need. Just use javascript to attach the display of the image to the ajax calls.
It should be something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
BindSpinner();
});
function BindSpinner() {
$("#div_loading").bind("ajaxSend", function () {
$(this).show();
}).bind("ajaxStop", function () {
$(this).hide();
}).bind("ajaxError", function () {
$(this).hide();
});
};
</script>
What this does is display the div on ajax send and hides it upon ajax stop or error for all calls on your page. If you place this script and the div in your _layout it will do this for every Ajax call on your site.

You might want to try this instead. I got it from the SO question here
<div id="div_loading" style="visibility:hidden;">
<img src="#Url.Content("~/Content/Images/loading.gif")" alt="" />
</div>

I had the same issue and was able to solve it changing the name of the element to be hidden/shown. I used camel-case format: "myDivToBeHidden"
The element needs the "display" property set to "none".

Using jQuery with partial views in asp.net mvc 4

I have a View with the following layout
The parent View is composed of several PartialViews as ilustrated in the picture. One of which is a list where each item has a corresponding Edit button which loads the item into another PartialView, but this is loaded via ajax into a modal dialog-bootstrap. This part works fine.
The problem I have is that no script or jquery event related to the controls of this modal gets executed. For example datepicker widget is never displayed, can not capture the change event of the dropdown, or capture the submit event for the form or the click event of Submit button.
All the scripts are placed in the main View. for example this is the event handler for the modal submit:
$(function () {
$('#myModal form').on('submit', function () {
console.log("okk");
clearErrors();
$.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function (data, status) {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
$("#details").html(data);
}).error(function (error, status, a, b) {
$('.modal-body p.body').html(error.responseText);
});
return false;
});
});
In my _Layout.cshtm I have included the necessary scripts (I think):
#Scripts.Render("~/js")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/globalization")
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</div>
</body>
where "~/js" is:
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/js").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery-migrate-{version}.js",
"~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
"~/Scripts/bootstrap-datepicker.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js",
"~/scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive-custom-for-bootstrap.js",
"~/Scripts/locales/bootstrap-datepicker.es.js"
));
What could be the problem with my scripts and jQuery for this dialog ? Indications from similar questions in the site have not worked for me so far.
I have tried to express as clearly as possible if something is not understood the code or the illustrations I'm all ears. Thank you
As Partial View is loaded via ajax you need to initialize datepicker after the html is rendered on page so you need to put datepicker initialization script in success function callback:
$.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function (data, status) {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
$("#details").html(data);
$("#textBoxID").datepicker(); // initialize datepicker for partial view element here
})
For events you can write delegated events to make them work,choose the closest element of the partial view, i am using container of partial in which you are appending partial view html:
For click event:
$("#details").on("click","#someButtonId",function(){
// write event code here
})
For more detials of on() you can see HERE
If they are being loaded in by ajax you may need to give more context to your selectors.
$(document).on('submit', '#myModal form', function () { ...

Loading an ASP.Net page inside another ASP.Net page using Ajax

I managed to load a distinct page inside a div in another page using jquery ajax. The problem I am encountering is that when I click a button inside this sub page, it cause a postback to the whole parent page. How can I force it to just refresh the panel it resides in?
One more thing. I am not sure I am doing the right thing, but the parent page has its own form with runat=server settings, while the secondary page that is loaded inside the div has its own form. I cannot remove the form from the latter because it causes an error.
I have seen some asp.net ajax tutorials but they do not deal with loading sub pages that havbe their own .net controls. Can anyone guide me to some good tutorial?
Thanks!
You need to create a empty with an Id for example : ajaxDiv
Then you create a jquery script like this :
<script type="text/javascript">
// Called at the loading of a page
$(document).ready(function () {
//here you execute an ajax function
$.ajax({
url: 'the url to retrieve data as string ex : /Webservice/Test',
type: 'get',
async: true of false,
//if the request is successful, you load the content of your div with the strings you loaded
success: function (data) {
$("ajaxDiv").html(data);
}
});
});
</script>
the tips is to load your page into the ajax request.
OK, since you are using jQuery, let's set up that event manipulation.
I assume the following markup:
<button type="submit" id="mySubmitButtonId">Submit</button>
Then, on my page I have the following javascript:
$("#mySubmitButtonId").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// do here what you want to do instead including refresh of a section via ajax
});

Run ajax scripts on page when navigating with ajax?

I got a bit of an issue in my ASP.NET MVC project.
I have a chat div in the bottom right corner (like facebook), and of course I do not want this to reload when navigating to all my navigation is ajax.
The problem I am facing is that I use the following code on the top of the view page:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#divTS').hide();
$('a#showTS').click(function() {
$('#divTS').slideToggle(400);
return false;
});
});
</script>
The problem is that this code is only loaded with ajax and does not seem to fire? I would like to run all scripts in the newly loaded view, just as if I hadn't navigated with ajax.
I cannot put this in the site.master as it only loads once and then probably the divs I am trying to hide doesn't exist.
Is there a good way to run scripts in the ajax-loaded div?
You will need to run the scripts in the success callback function of your ajax script. I would recommend you externalizing this into a separate function:
function setupEffects() {
$('#divTS').hide();
$('a#showTS').click(function() {
$('#divTS').slideToggle(400);
return false;
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
setupEffects();
});
And in the success callback of your script call this function:
success: function(result) {
setupEffects();
}
The Masterpage gets reloaded when you navigate to another View. You can also check if a div exists with $('#div').length > 0.
By the way, "full site" ajax navigation should not be used. Reload your chat on navigation - best put it into a control (makes things easier).

Fancybox - ASP.NET button not working

I've just determined using Firebug that when Fancybox window is created it actually takes all of my ASP.NET controls (contained in DIV tag) and puts them outside FORM tag. So I guess this is the reason why then ASP.NET button doesn't do anything - it is placed outside form.
So, do you have any suggestions how I can prevent this (or make that ASP.NET button work), other than using completely different modal dialog?
EDIT: OK, people are reporting that some of the proposed fixes are working for them on certain versions. So, be sure to read all of the answers / scroll to the bottom for how to fix this issue on different Fancybox versions.
You need to change this (somewhere around line 719 of jquery.fancybox-1.3.1.js):
$('body').append(
tmp = $('<div id="fancybox-tmp"></div>'),
loading = $('<div id="fancybox-loading"><div></div></div>'),
overlay = $('<div id="fancybox-overlay"></div>'),
wrap = $('<div id="fancybox-wrap"></div>')
);
to
$('form').append(
tmp = $('<div id="fancybox-tmp"></div>'),
loading = $('<div id="fancybox-loading"><div></div></div>'),
overlay = $('<div id="fancybox-overlay"></div>'),
wrap = $('<div id="fancybox-wrap"></div>')
);
For anyone needing a simple answer to this problem using Fancybox version 2 theres a much easier way of doing it. All you have to do is add parent: "form:first" in the code eg
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".various").fancybox({
parent: "form:first",
fitToView: true,
width: '300px',
height: '100px',
autoSize: false,
closeClick: false,
openEffect: 'none',
closeEffect: 'none',
modal: false
});
});
then this will append the fancybox elements in the dom inside the form tag, rather than inside the body tag.
Fancybox Version 2.1.4
Change these 2 lines
Around Line 2069 :
document.all && !document.querySelector ? $('html') : $('body');
to
document.all && !document.querySelector ? $('html') : $('form:first');
and around Line 1960 :
this.overlay = $('<div class="fancybox-overlay"></div>').appendTo('body');
to
this.overlay = $('<div class="fancybox-overlay"></div>').prependTo('form');
You could also use appendTo but that's up to you. In my case I needed prependTo.
I've been trying to figure out this problem all week, I haven't really had any luck
I just came across this article
http://usmanshabbir.blogspot.com/2010/10/click-server-button-problem-in-jquery.html
That explains how to get postback working with the jQuery UI Dialog box.
If it's not 100% necessary to use fancy box then this method is definitely worth a try, it's saved me a lot of hassle today.
Without altering the FancyBox source, put this after the FancyBox script (outside any load events!!!):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/#.#/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-#.#.#.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Override $.fancybox.init to fix ASP.NET PostBack bug;
var fancyboxInitOld = $.fancybox.init;
$.fancybox.init = function () {
fancyboxInitOld.apply(arguments);
$("#fancybox-tmp, #fancybox-loading, #fancybox-overlay, #fancybox-wrap").appendTo("form:first");
};
// Your code ...
</script>
jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.js line 1040
//$('body').append(
$('form').append(
tmp = $('<div id="fancybox-tmp"></div>'),
loading = $('<div id="fancybox-loading"><div></div></div>'),
overlay = $('<div id="fancybox-overlay"></div>'),
wrap = $('<div id="fancybox-wrap"></div>')
);
Works (my asp:Button does postback) for me on FF and IE9, thanks for the solution
The above update didn't work for me, the fancybox was still added outside the form. I then commented out those 6 lines in jquery.fancybox-1.3.2.js and found they weren't being used at all in my code.
I did a search on 'body' in the fancybox js files and changed it to 'form' in:
jquery.fancybox-1.3.2.js (ln 484)
jquery.fancybox-1.3.2.pack.js (ln 27, ln 41)
The fancybox is now getting added to the form and the server controls are working.
Fancybox Version: 2.1.2
Line 1782 of jquery.fancybox.js
Change this:
this.el = document.all && !document.querySelector ? $('html') : $('body');
To this:
this.el = document.all && !document.querySelector ? $('html') : $('form:first');
I use Fancybox 1.3.4 to show an aspx page as a popup page in fancybox iframe. But button in the popup page does not cause postback. I did not change anything as you said before. Rather I did the following.
function check()
{
var validated = Page_ClientValidate();
if (validated) {
__doPostBack('<%=bur.ClientID%>','');
parent.$.fancybox.close();
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
<asp:Button ID="bur" runat="server" Text="ser"
OnClientClick="check()" />
protected void bur_Click(object sender,Eventargs e)
{ //put breakpoint here.
}
Fancybox 1.3.4 actually does postback.
But if is closed in OnClientClick that is before server side click event it wont postback .So The above is the solution to this problem.(Adding doPostBack in javascript function).
Normally Fancybox 1.3.4 does postback without any change in its .Js files. But to close it , need to write this line ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, GetType(), "", "parent.$.fancybox.close();", true); in server side click event. Only then both serverside event gets called and fancybox also closes.
But Fancybox 2.1.3 (latest) does postback event after it is closed in OnClientClick.
If refreshing the parent is a solution which serves the purpose, you can refresh onClosed:
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
'onClosed': function() {
parent.location.reload(true);
}
});
Without any change in fancybox js library file, what works for me was below,
$('.your-selector').fancybox({
afterShow: function () {
$('.fancybox-overlay').appendTo('form');
}
});
I have moved the fancybox div inside the form tag, and now, server side button is working like a charm :)
All the best.. I hope this will work for you too. .:)
You don't need to change any code or any library... Just try this..
$('.fancybox').fancybox({
parent: "form:first", // jQuery selector
});
Heres the worst solution possible, however it worked for me. I needed faceybox and codebehind at the same time. Setup your fancy box to load when button clicked. Then onClosed pass values to another C# page and do the code behind on Page Load.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".fancy").fancybox({
onClosed: function () {
window.location.href = "worker_addcarrier.aspx?name=" + document.getElementById('<%=txt_carriername.ClientID%>').value +
"&password=" + document.getElementById('<%=txt_password.ClientID%>').value +
"&email=" + document.getElementById('<%=txt_email.ClientID%>').value;
}
});
});
and then just the "class=" thing here:
<asp:Button ID="Button1" href="logo.png" runat="server" class="fancy" Text="Create" Width="109px" BorderColor="#009933" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

DIV content shows on page instead of JQuery Dialog

I have the following DIV markup:
<div id="dialog" title="Membership Renewal">
Your membership is going to expire.
</div>
I have the following javascript to execute the JQuery:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showjQueryDialog() {
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
//alert("Time to renew Membership!");
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
buttons: { "Renew Membership": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } }
});
});
</script>
I have an asp:Button which is inside a control and the control is on a master page. The first thing I notice is that when the page is loaded, the div is displayed and then disappears when the page is done loading. When I click the button it executes the following:
if (timeSpan.Days >= 30)
{
//Show JQuery Dialog Here
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, typeof(Page), "showExpiration",
"showjQueryDialog()", true);
}
When I click the button, instead of a dialog popping up, the content of the div just becomes visible.
I know this is old now. However, Set your class to the jQuery UI built in ui-helper-hidden.
<div id="dialog" title="Membership Renewal" class="ui-helper-hidden">
Your membership is going to expire.
</div>
This will resolve your div's unwanted cameo behaviour.
I believe you have two related issues here.
The reason that the DIV is showing when you first load is because you haven't yet told it not to. The jQuery script that makes the DIV behave as a dialog doesn't run until the HTML DOM is loaded, and until then it will not hide the DIV. A simple solution is to hide the DIV by default using CSS.
<div id="dialog" title="Membership Renewal" style="display:none;">
Your membership is going to expire.
</div>
The button click problem is related: RegisterClientScriptBlock will output a script that runs as soon as it is encountered, so the jQuery code that turns it into a dialog hasn't had a chance to run yet. In order to give it a chance to do so, you can change the C# code to use RegisterStartupScript, which will delay execution of showjQueryDialog() until the page has finished loading and the jQuery code has had a chance to make the DIV into a dialog.
if (timeSpan.Days >= 30)
{
//Show JQuery Dialog Here
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(Page),
"showExpiration", "showjQueryDialog()", true);
}
make sure you are specifying the correct doctype at the top of your page, this seems to be the cause of some issues that i've seen.
edit:
also, to keep it from flashing at the beginning you can have something like
#debug { display: none; }
somewhere before the element (most likely your stylesheet or in the head).
another thing that might help is if you put set:
OnClientClick="showjQueryDialog(); return false;";
in the page load or similar, that way you wont need a postback (asynchronous or otherwise).
The reason its not showing is because the document probably hasn't loaded yet. and document.ready hasn't been called, so dialog("open") is getting called before dialog({options}); so to fix this just add the code to in a doc.ready call.
Also, your only loading the dialog once, so you don't really need to initialize it as autoOpen:false, use the display:none then show it as John Boker said
function showjQueryDialog() {
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog({
modal: true,
buttons: { "Renew Membership": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } });
$("#dialog").show(); // sets display:block;
//alert("Time to renew Membership!");
});
}
<div id="dialog" style="display:none">
<!--..-->
</div>
