I have a set of options on an ASP.net page where the user may open up one of two lightboxes - either the "Add" lightbox or the "Edit" lightbox.
Each one has a small form for the user to fill out, and then they can hit a button at the bottom of the lightbox to hit submit.
I have the buttons set up within the lightboxes like so:
<asp:Button Id="btnSubmitAdd" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmitAdd_Click" />
... then later in the other lightbox...
<asp:Button Id="btnSubmitEdit" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmitEdit_Click" />
When i click the "Add" lightbox's submit button, everything behaves just fine.
When i click the "Edit" lightbox's submit button however, it fires "btnSubmitAdd_Click" instead of its own "...Edit_Click" event!
I have checked and re-checked all of the names and events and everything is set up correctly. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks to #MikeGuthrie for leading me down the correct path!
The issue seems to be with asp.net defaulting buttons to type "submit" which submits the entire form, and apparently that means it simply hit the first button's event before the second.
I added have modified the buttons like so and things are working now:
<asp:Button Id="btnSubmitAdd" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmitAdd_Click" UseSubmitBehavior="false"/>
<asp:Button Id="btnSubmitEdit" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmitEdit_Click" UseSubmitBehavior="false"/>

I have a weird problem in my page. I have a button called Print. I wanted report should come in a new tab, so i wrote some javascript on button's onClientClick. Which works great with no problem at all.
But problem starts now when user comes back on original page again, now here i have several controls which cause postback. Say for example its a dropdownlist. so whenever user changes dropdown item it causes postback which is fine but everytime it opens a new tab on every postback.
hope I am clear in question...
Any help??
Here is a code:
<asp:Button ID="btnshow" runat="server" Text="Show" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Black" Width="90px" OnClick="btnshow_Click" OnClientClick ="document.forms[0].target = '_blank';"/>
The issue is document.forms[0].target='_blank' is setting the target on the form not the individual button so a postback triggered by any control will open in a new tab.
You should use a HyperLink control instead of the Button control. The HyperLink control has a Target property which allows you to specify how the link should be opened.
Below is an example taken from the HyperLink documentation. This will render an anchor tag with target="_blank".
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkPrint" NavigateUrl="http://www.microsoft.com" Text="Print" Target="_blank" runat="server" />
I have the following command button:
<asp:Button Text="Insert Value" UseSubmitBehavior="false" runat="server" OnClientClick="return Confirmation.value('insert');" CommandName="Insert" />
I am using UseSubmitBehavior="false" to prevent ASP.Net page enter key causing post back
I do not want to listen to the enter keyCode via javascript because enter is used to submit non-webform elements not related to the form
Apparently, when using a Command and UseSubmitBehavior="false" then OnClientClick doesnt work. If I turn on submit behavior it works as expected but then hitting enter on the page automatically tries to click the button.
I prefer not to listen for the click event in Jquery or in javascript, and prefer a webform solution. Possible a better way of prevent enter from submitting the form or a way for OnClientClick to work properly with no submit behavior
You may need to use Panel and keep all your form inside Panel Tag and set the DefaultButton value of Panel to Button. Like Below:
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" DefaultButton="Button1">
// other form elements
<asp:Button Text="Insert Value" ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClientClick="return Confirmation.value('insert');" />
</asp:Panel>
I have a form with only a file upload control and 2 gridviews, for each grid view we have an add button and a save button for the whole page:
So the first button for gridview1 works fine but the other 2 buttons are not even displaying the msgbox inside the function, I tried adding CausesValidation=false but that didn't changed anything.
What could be wrong?
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileup" runat="server" />
<asp:Button runat="server" Text=" + Add" ID="btnGrid2"/>
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Save" ID="btnSave"/>
Change your code from
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Save" ID="btnSave"/>
To
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Save" ID="btnSave" onclick="btnSave_Click"/>
That is happening because you've copied whole event from another page and because of that actual event in aspx page is not generated.
Visual Studio gives facility of generating events automatically.
Just Place a control in your page -> Go to Control's Properties -> Navigate to events. -> Find OnClick and duble click there. It will generate your buttonclick event automatically in aspx.vb code behind file.
Or you can simply put a button in your design page and then by clicking on it will also generate buttonclick event automatically.
Hope it helps.
I need to restrict user to click the button only one time.
I have something like this in asp.net
Can we used something like control validator or something?
<asp:Button ID="btnRegister" runat="server" Height="22px" Text="Enter" Width="100px" />
If you want the user to not click twice in a row, use javascript:
<asp:Button ... OnClientClick="this.disabled=true" />
If you want the button to be ever clicked once, the easy way is to set a cookie or session variable or something, and disable the button from code-behind.
I have a simple form written in asp.net/C# and when trying to hit enter while in the form's input box doesn't submit the form for some reason. I had implemented a fix for a previous bug where pressing enter would merely refresh the page without submitting the form data but now pressing enter just does nothing, the fix is below:
<div style="display: none">
<input type="text" name="hiddenText" />
</div>
anybody know about a fix for this or a workaround?
I'm assuming you have a button somewhere on your page, as well as an event handler for it.
Have you tried wrapping your form (with the button) inside a Panel control and setting the default button attribute?
i.e.
<asp:Panel id="pnlMyForm" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnMyButton">
<asp:textbox id="txtInput" runat="server" />
<asp:Button id="btnMyButton" text="Submit" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>
You can specify a default button for a form, which means hitting enter on any input control will fire that button (i.e. target the submit button). I haven't heard of this not working in any specific browser. This should eliminate your need for a workaround/hack.
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Panel ID="pnlFormContents" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnSubmit">
<!-- add some input controls as needed -->
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"/>
</asp:Panel>
</form>
Hope this helps...
I don't remember the specifics of the rules, but most browsers have the capability of submitting forms when ENTER is pressed if conditions are met. I think it had to do with whether you had 1 or more-than-one field, or whether or not there was at least one submit button (even if you hide it). I've done it in a site I recently did, but I don't have the code handy, but I can tell you it works without any special scripting. Check this posting for more details:
