Currently working with UserControls.
Have this button :
<dx:ASPxButton ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" CssClass="btn btn-active" ValidationGroup="MyValidationGroup" OnClick="BtnSaveClick">
I inherited this code from my team mates.
Recently i discovered that if button is clicked multiple times, it duplicates the record.
I tried to add
btnSave.ClientEnabled = false;
and
btnSave.Enabled = false;
into the code behind, but it's not preventing from duplicating the records.
How to check if validation group passed (successfully) into jquery or javascript, than disable the button on the front end ?
Any idea ?
well simply use
<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" class="btn btn-active" OnClick="btnSave_Click" ValidationGroup="validation" Text="Save" OnClientClick="if (!Page_ClientValidate()){ return false; } this.disabled = true; this.value = 'Saving...';"
UseSubmitBehavior="false" />
This code snippet will disable your button and doesn't allow use to click multiple times until click event executing its code
Hope this will help :)
If you do not want duplicates, why not check them at the database level? Disabling a button will help with double clicking. But you will still get the same result if a user presses F5 or reloads the page as new and then presses the button again.
For MS SQL you could do something like this:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT column FROM table WHERE (column = #myVar))
INSERT INTO table (column) VALUES (#myVar)
Or you could also place a constraint on the column
ALTER TABLE table ADD CONSTRAINT UQ_column UNIQUE (column)
you can do this $(document).ready(function(){
$('#ctl00_MainContent_btnSave')
.attr("onclick", null)
.removeAttr("onclick")
.click(function() {
// To validate you form using Validation group.
if (typeof (Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') {
Page_ClientValidate("ValidationGroup");
if (Page_IsValid == true) {
alert('the form is valid');
}
} else {
if ($(this).valid()) {
alert('the form is valid');
}
}
//Disable button before page posting back
WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions($(this).attr("name"), "", true, "", "", false, false));
});
});
I figured it out. When i used code #Shayan Hafeez provided, compiler thrown an exception.
The server tag is not well formed.
Than, i removed OnClientClick from the button and insert this code into code-behind :
btnSave.ClientSideEvents.Click = "if (!Page_ClientValidate()){ return false; } this.disabled = true; this.value = 'Saving...';";
It works fine now.

I realise this question has been asked but none of the answers worked for my project.
I have a button that when clicked calls an API, so there is a 1 second delay.
I have tried several things nothing works.
btnSave.Attributes.Add("onclick", " this.disabled = true; " + ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(btnSave, null) + ";");
Even that does nothing.
Prevent Double Click .Please add below code in your aspx page.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_beginRequest(BeginRequestHandler);
function BeginRequestHandler(sender, args) { var oControl = args.get_postBackElement(); oControl.disabled = true; }
</script>
This solution is simple and effective. On your button include this code:
OnClientClick="return CheckDouble();"
And wherever you want your JavaScript - e.g. At the bottom of your page:
<script type="text/javascript">
var submit = 0;
function CheckDouble() {
if (++submit > 1) {
alert('This sometimes takes a few seconds - please be patient.');
return false;
}
}
</script>
Most of the above suggestions failed to work for me. The one that did work was the following by tezzo:
Me.btnSave.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.disabled=true;")
Me.btnSave.UseSubmitBehavior = False
Simpler still, rather than using the above in the code-behind, just use the following:
<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save"
UseSubmitBehavior="false"
OnClientClick="this.disabled='true';"
</asp:button>
UseSubmitBehavior="false" is the key.
You can prevent double-clicking using this code:
Me.btnSave.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.disabled=true;")
Me.btnSave.UseSubmitBehavior = False
So you can use btnSave_Click to call your API.
Usually I have a lot of Validators in my Page: setting Validator.SetFocusOnError = True I can run this code to reenable save button if a validation failed.
Me.YourControl.Attributes.Add("onfocus", Me.btnSave.ClientID & ".removeAttribute('disabled');")
This is the one I found works in all cases.
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1" OnClick="Button1_Clicked" />
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button2" />
</form>
Now here’s the short JavaScript snippet that will disable the button as soon as it is clicked so that when PostBack occurs the button cannot be clicked again.
<script type = "text/javascript">
function DisableButton() {
document.getElementById("<%=Button1.ClientID %>").disabled = true;
}
window.onbeforeunload = DisableButton;
</script>
The above script disables the ASP.Net Button as soon as the page is ready to do a PostBack or the ASP.Net form is submitted.
But in cases you might want to disable all Buttons and Submit Buttons on the page hence for such cases I have created another function which disables all Buttons and Submit buttons whenever there’s a PostBack or form submission
<script type = "text/javascript">
function DisableButtons() {
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
for (var i in inputs) {
if (inputs[i].type == "button" || inputs[i].type == "submit") {
inputs[i].disabled = true;
}
}
}
window.onbeforeunload = DisableButtons;
</script>
Prevent Double Click .Please add below code in your aspx page
<script type = "text/javascript">
function DisableButton() {
document.getElementById("<%=Button1.ClientID %>").disabled = true;
}
window.onbeforeunload = DisableButton;
</script>
At first my solution is like this:
<script>
function disableButton(btn) {
setTimeout(function () { btn.disabled = true; }, 20);
return true;
}
</script>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnSave" Text="Save" OnClick="btnSave_Click" OnClientClick="return disableButton(this);" />
Without setTimeout the button will be immediately disabled and then the OnClick event will not be fired. The drawback of this approach is that the Save button will not be accessible anymore if some validation fails or some error happens.
So I don't think disable the button is a good solution, and come up with another solution:
function disableButton(btn) {
if (btn.hasclicked) return false;
btn.hasclicked = 1;
btn.onmouseenter = function () { this.hasclicked = 0; };
return true;
}
But my colleague points out that if the post processing is very slow, before it is finished, the user is still able to perform the double postback by leave-enter-click the button. So I figured out another two solutions:
Run the validation from client before submitting the form. But if your page contains multiple ValidationGroup, it is said that the following Page_ClientValidate() should be called multiple times with a passed-in ValidationGroup parameter: e.g. Page_ClientValidate("group1"):
function disableButton(btn) {
if (Page_ClientValidate) {
Page_ClientValidate();
if (!Page_IsValid) {
btn.setAttribute("btnClicked", "n");
return true;
}
}
if (btn.getAttribute("btnClicked") == "y") {
return false;
} else {
btn.setAttribute("btnClicked", "y");
return true;
}
}
As the ASP.NET has only one form in a page (not ASP.NET MVC), we can also let the onsubmit client event of the form to intercept the double click:
function disableButton(btn) {
$("form").submit(function () {
if (btn.getAttribute("btnClicked") == "y")
return false;
else
btn.setAttribute("btnClicked", "y");
return true;
});}
I'll ask QA to test those two approaches(Post edit: QA has proved that it is very dangerous to use this approach. Please refer to my following comments for details).
Try this way, it's a working solution:
For all browsers including Opera Mobile browser which doesn't support js, means your form will not be blocked in that type of browsers.
Add this in Page_load() method:
BtnID.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if(typeof (Page_ClientValidate) === 'function' && !Page_ClientValidate()){return false;} this.disabled = true;this.value = 'Working...';" + ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(BtnID, null) + ";");
I need to have a custom validation for a "Save" operation in my page. The requirement is that, I need to display the alert and when I click the OK button in the alert, my page should not be posted back.
Here goes my code.
function RedirectForSaveValidation(source,arguments) {
var StatusFlag = '';
StatusFlag = document.getElementById('<%= HiddenStatusFlag.ClientID%>');
if (StatusFlag == "F") {
alert("Selected student entry has been qualified for lead. Entry cannot be modified...!");
arguments.IsValid = false;
}
if (StatusFlag == "Q") {
alert("Selected student has been scheduled for interview/counselling. Entry cannot be modified...!");
arguments.IsValid = false;
}
if (StatusFlag == "S") {
alert("Selected student entry has been scheduled with interview/counselling. Entry cannot be modified...!");
arguments.IsValid = false;
}
if (StatusFlag == "I") {
alert("Selected student entry has been converted to Intake. Entry cannot be modified...!");
arguments.IsValid = false;
}
window.location.assign("EnquiryRegister.aspx");
}
I call this function in my button click.
<asp:Button ID="btnSaveEnquiryRegister" runat="server" Text="Save Enquiry Register" CssClass="button" OnClick="btnSaveEnquiryRegister_Click" ValidationGroup="valEnquiry" OnClientClick="RedirectForSaveValidation();"/>
The issue is, I am not getting any alert as I have specified and my page is posted back. What am I missing?
The correct way for solving this problem would be to use CustomValidator control and its ClientValidationFunction property. With this you can integrate your client side validation with ASP.NET validation functionality.
Have a look at the example on MSDN documentation.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.customvalidator.clientvalidationfunction.aspx
Hope it helps!

Your are using a Custom Validation function directly on button click. Look you are passing two parameters in the Function and OnClientClick you are not passing parameters. this method should be called through CustomValidator control of asp.net.
Or just remove parameters from method. Use method without parameters
well this is not the correct way to implement the custom validator look at this http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/control_customvalidator.asp and http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/showaspx.asp?filename=demo_customvalidator (show you how to do it properly)
but still if you want to do the validation like this you have to return false in case it is not valid
so your validation function should return true (in case it is valid) or false
then
<asp:Button ID="btnSaveEnquiryRegister" runat="server" Text="Save Enquiry Register" CssClass="button" OnClick="btnSaveEnquiryRegister_Click" ValidationGroup="valEnquiry" OnClientClick="return RedirectForSaveValidation();"/>
Silly me! The issue was with getting the value of my hidden field.
var StatusFlag = '';
StatusFlag = document.getElementById('<%= HiddenStatusFlag.ClientID%>').value;
I had missed to include value property so the variable had empty value which caused the validator to fail.
I have a Search feature. if the search string is empty and user clicks "GO" then the postback of the gridview shouldn't happen and the alert (as mentioned in below code) should get fired up.
My gridview is in update panel. Below is the logic that i have written but it doesn't works.
protected void btnGo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!txtSearchString.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
{
BinGrid();
upnl1.update //update panel is updated here.
}
else
{
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.upnl1, this.GetType(), "Search", "alert('Enter search text');", false);
//upnlgvOpportinities.Update();
//upnlAdmin.Update();
return;
}
}
Please help! Let me know if any info is needed
This logic is wrong. It should do using javascript if you want to avoid the postback at first place.
Have your javascript return false when textbox is empty and true when not
<asp:button runat="server".... OnClientClick="return myfunction(); " />
You can check if textbox is empty or not in myfunction()
Replace Your ScriptManager line with below code line.
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.upnl1, this.GetType(), "Script", "alert('Enter search text');", true);
If you don't want a request to the server to be sent (if I understood your needs right), than you need a client-side solution, that is handle button click with javascript and conditionally prevent the postback. However your current code is server-side, and is executed on a server after the postback has occurred.
As to client-side, here is one possible way. Define a js function that simply checks the value of the search box and returns false if it is empty. On the button click simply call this function. If a click handler returns false, further processing of the button click will be stopped and the postback won't occur:
function checkSearch() {
var searchBox = document.getElementById('HereComesSearchBoxClientID');
if (searchBox.value == '') {
alert('Enter search text');
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
<asp:Button ID="SearchButton" runat="server" Text="GO" OnClick="ServerSideHandler" OnClientClick="checkSearch();" />
#Madhur Ahuja's way is the correct one. Expanding that a little bit more.
HTML
<asp:Button ID="txtSearchString" runat="server"
OnClientClick="javascript:return CheckifEmpty(this);" />
Javascript
function CheckifEmpty(objSearchBox) {
//always trim, otherwise it will accept a string of spaces
var isEmpty = objSearchBox.value.trim() == "";
if (isEmpty) {
alert('Enter search text');
}
return !isEmpty;
}
if (!String.prototype.trim) {
String.prototype.trim = function() {
return this.replace(/^\s*(\S*(?:\s+\S+)*)\s*$/, "$1");
};
}
I need to show the confirm box "Are you sure You Want To continue?" If "Yes" I need the ASP.NET textbox value to be cleared out. Otherwise it should not be cleared.
function doConfirm(){
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to continue?")){
var mytxtbox = document.getElementById('<% =myAspTextBox.ClientID %>');
mytxtbox.value = '';
}
}
Note the myAspTextBox refers to the name of the asp:textbox controls ID property
<asp:textbox ID="myAspTextBox" runat="server" OnClientClick="javascript:doConfirm();"
Hope this helps
In your asp textbox tag add this:
OnClientClick="javascript:testDeleteValue();"
...
And add this script:
<script>
function testDeleteValue()
{
if (window.confirm('Are you sure You Want To continue?'))
document.getElementById("<%=<th id of your textbox>.ClientID%>").value = '';
}
</script>
If you want this to happen on click of your radio box, put it in this tag and just replace onclientclick with onclick.
<input type='radio' onclick='testDeleteValue()'/>
If you download the AjaxControlToolkit you can use the ConfirmButtonExtender to display a simple confirmation box to a user after a button is clicked to proceed with the action or cancel
You can see here for an example and here for a tutorial on how to implement this
Okay I just noticed the bit about radio buttons, in any case the AjaxControlToolkit is a good place to start if you want to implement JavaScript solutions in .Net projects
if this is your textbox markup:
<asp:textbox id="txtInput" runat="server" />
and then this is the button that will trigger the confirm:
<asp:button id="btnSumbit" runat="server" onclientclick="return clearOnConfirm();" text="Submit" />
then you'll need the following javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function clearOnConfirm() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to continue?")) {
document.getElementById("<%=txtInput.ClientID %>").value = '';
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
</script>
If all you want to do is to clear the textbox but always continue with the postback then you don't ever need to return false as above but always return true as below. In this scenario you should rethink the message you display to the user.
<script type="text/javascript">
function clearOnConfirm() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to continue?")) {
document.getElementById("<%=txtInput.ClientID %>").value = '';
}
return true;
}
</script>
function stopTimer() {
if (window.confirm('Are you sure You Want To continue?')) {
$find('Timer1')._stopTimer()
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
<asp:Button ID="Btn_Finish" runat="server" Text="Finish" Width="113px" OnClick="Btn_Finish_Click" OnClientClick="return stopTimer();" Height="35px"
protected void Btn_Finish_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Timer1.Enabled = false;
// if any functions to be done eg: function1();
Response.Redirect("~/Default2.aspx");
}
There is also a timer stop doing in the function. The confirmation box if press "Ok" timer stops and also its redirected to new page "Default2.aspx"
else if chosen cancel then nothing happens.
ASP.NET 2.0, testing in FF3 and IE7.
When I hit the 'enter' button from a text box the corresponding "OnClick" event for the first ImageButton in the page is fired. If I remove that image button, it fires the next ImageButton OnClick event on the page.
From the FireBug console, if I use JavaScript to submit the Form, this does not happen. But for whatever reason hitting enter from the textbox triggers the unrelated ImageButton event.
I found this question which had a similar problem, however the proposed answer to that solution doesn't work since ImageButtons do not have a "UseSubmitBehavior" property on them.
I don't understand why this event is firing. If I look at Request.Form, I can see that __EVENTTARGET is empty, and it is in fact posting the entire form contents (all of my textboxes), but also includes imageButton.x and imageButton.y key/value pairs.
Why is this? I suppose I could detect "enter" key presses from these text boxes with javascript, but my experience in the past is this behavior is highly variable between browsers. Any suggestions?
here's a more elegant solution
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"
onkeydown = "return (event.keyCode!=13);" >
</asp:TextBox>
read the entire post here
You could try setting a default button in an asp panel or on your form. This will let you control what happens when a user hits the enter key.
I'm having the same issue on my project.
This issue is caused because ASP.NET always will assume that the first element that inherits from IButton interface (Button and ImageButton) is the default button from the page.
Hipoteticaly, if you use an LinkButton instead of Button or ImageButton, this issue is solved.
You can find more information here on MSDN.
You can disable the Enter key from being pressed, so the user will have to click on of your ImageButtons. Just paste this javascript block onto your page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function stopRKey(evt) {
var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);
if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type=="text")) {return false;}
}
document.onkeypress = stopRKey;
</script>
Recently, I've been doing more on the client with web services and fewer postbacks. By moving my controls outside of the form element (or eliminating it altogether), the problem goes away. It's inserted by default on aspx pages, but it didn't occur to me until recently that I don't need it for much of what I do.
Its the default behaviour for an enter button press in a non text area to post back a form. You would have to handle it in a javascript method to stop the postback.
You'd just need to check the window.event.keyCode property to see if its equal to 13. If it is, reset it to 0.
function KeyPress()
{
if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
{
window.event.keyCode = 0;
}
}
I suppose I could detect "enter" key presses from these text boxes with javascript
That's what I did to get around that behaviour and it works great in IE7 and FF3. It's just a little unnatural.
Here is a generic exemple:
function TextBox1_KeyDown(sender, e)
{
var key;
if(window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode; //IE
else
key = e.which; //firefox
if(key == 13 && $("#TextBox1").val() != "")
{
WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("TextBox1", "", true, "", "", false, true));
}
return (key != 13);
}
I used WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions because I needed validators to trigger. Otherwise, you might want to use __DoPostBack.
Here are the "prototypes":
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument)
function WebForm_PostBackOptions(eventTarget, eventArgument, validation, validationGroup, actionUrl, trackFocus, clientSubmit)
{
this.eventTarget = eventTarget;
this.eventArgument = eventArgument;
this.validation = validation;
this.validationGroup = validationGroup;
this.actionUrl = actionUrl;
this.trackFocus = trackFocus;
this.clientSubmit = clientSubmit;
}
function WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(options)
Hope it helps.
P.S.: I used JQuery here but $get would be the same.
Here's an elegant solution I have found, in case anybody else has this problem (in case all other solution don't work for you, as they didn't work for me):
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Panel runat="server" DefaultButton="doNothingButton">
<ul id="shopping-list-ul">
</ul>
<asp:Button CssClass="invisible" runat="server" ID="doNothingButton" OnClientClick="return false;" />
</asp:Panel>
</ContentTemplate>
The textbox iself was inside the ul (generated by javascript).
Pressing enter will trigger the "doNothingButton", which will return false on client side, causing no postback at all!
