Clear asp.net form on jquery ui dialog cross click - asp.net

I am using jquery-ui modal with gridview to add/update records in an asp.net application. The user can click on the cross to close the modal? I want to clear the modal content (including any ViewState). So far I have used the following code:
$('#editData').dialog({
....
close: function () {
**// Here I want to clear the form**
}

You can just reset the form:
$('#formId').trigger("reset");
$('#editData').dialog({
....
close: function () {
// Here I want to clear the form
$('#formId').trigger("reset");
});

You can also use document.forms["formId"].reset(); if you wanted to achieve it via JavasScript.

How to know which button of User Control is clicked from parent form Asp.net?

I want to capture which button is clicked in page load method of code behind file.
Button is user control button and It does not post back. Since it used by many other forms, I don't want to changes that button.
I tried this
Dim ButtonID As String = Request("btnRefresh.ID")
But it doesn't work.
Is it possible to know without touching in user control and using Javascript?
Thank you
As described here How to check whether ASP.NET button is clicked or not on page load:
The method: Request.Params.Get("__EVENTTARGET"); will work for
CheckBoxes, DropDownLists, LinkButtons, etc.. but this does not work
for Button controls such as Buttons and ImageButtons
But you have a workaround, first of all you have to define a hidden field in the Parent Page. In this field you will store which button inside the user control was clicked using javascript/jquery. And then in your Parent Page Page_Load method you just read the hiddenField.Value property:
JQuery
1) Add listener to every input type submit button:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("input[type=\"submit\"]").on("click", function () {
alert(this.name);
$("#hiddenField1").val(this.name);
});
});
2) [Better one] Add listener to some indentificable div inside the user control and delegate the event to child inputs like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#someElementOfUserControl").on("click", "input[type=\"submit\"]", function () {
alert(this.name);
$("#hiddenField1").val(this.name);
});
});
Javascript
Since everything done with JQuery can be done with Javascript you can do the following (i will not write both samples, just one):
function handleClick(event) {
alert(event.target.name);
document.getElementById("hiddenField1").value = event.target.name;
}
var inputsInUC = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (i = 0; i < inputsInUC.length; i++) {
inputsInUC[i].addEventListener('click', handleClick, false);
}
Remember to define this javascript after all your html elements.
EDIT:
Also, for the completeness of the answer let me tell you that the proper way in case you can change the user control behaviour is to use events as described here How do i raise an event in a usercontrol and catch it in mainpage?

Create click event programmatically for link button in each accordion pane

I have created an Accordion dynamically and added AccordionPanes through backend with respective controls and data click here to view my problem and how I solved it. I have added a link button in each AccordionPane but now I want to add a click event so that I can access data in that specific pane and I need to use functions to populate data.
I create my controls in the page_init event.
How can I go about doing this?
I have come across a solution that is almost the same as what I want to do.
One way to achieve this is by adding the event handlers with Javascript Like this:
function pageLoad()
{
var accordionControl = $find('Accordion1_AccordionExtender');
accordionControl.add_selectedIndexChanging(PaneChanging);
accordionControl.add_selectedIndexChanged(PaneChanged);
}
function PaneChanged(sender, args)
{
alert('In Changed handler.');
}
function PaneChanging(sender, args)
{
alert('In Changing hanlder.');
}
A similar question has been posted here
The specific control you would be looking for is:
$addHandler(header, "click", acc._headerClickHandler);

jQuery UI Dialog + ASP.NET user control

I'm looking for alternative ways of solving a problem. We're using ElFinder for browsing files, and we want to allow the user to change the access rights to a file element through the right-click context menu ("Change permissions"). The solution I have come up with so far is to load a server side ASP.NET usercontrol in a jQuery modal dialog window. This user control will contain the logic needed to add / remove user access to the selected element.
The jQuery Dialog script looks like this (slightly changed for readability), where DisplayItemAccessConfig() is the method that's called from the context menu:
<!-- access control script -->
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function DisplayItemAccessConfig() {
$.getJSON('AccessRights.ashx', function (data) {
var itemName = data["itemName"];
/* set new title (JUST FOR TESTING) */
$(dialog).dialog('option', 'title', itemName);
/* open modal dialog --> */
$(dialog).dialog('open');
});
}
$(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Ok": function () { $(this).dialog("close"); },
"Cancel": function () { $(this).dialog("close"); }
},
open: function (type, data) {
$(this).parent().appendTo("form");
}
});
});
</script>
Challenge 1: find a way to reload the user control each time the jQuery popup is displayed - this is to retrieve the current access settings for the selected element. Now it loads when the page is first loaded, since it's just a div element containing an update panel with a placeholder for my usercontrol and visibility set to none. Anyone have any tips here?
Challenge 2: While I am trying to figure that one out I thought it could be worth while asking for other opinions. Is there a better way of solving this? Should I use a pure jQuery with HTML and call server side .ashx methods to retrieve data, instead of an ASP.NET usercontrol?
You can do this by creating a hidden button on inside the uploadpanel and then trigger it like this:
__doPostBack('<%= Button.ClientID %>','');
Personally I would drop the UpdatePanel and go for jQuery AJAX calls to update the content of the dialog window, but this depends on the complexity of your user control. Hard to say without seeing more of your code.

ASP GridView to be updated automatically when ModalDialog is closed

I have a gridView with search and filtering options, it is listing document from SharePoint Library, when i click on the Document name i added a Modal popup to display Documents properties page, if i update Document's title for example and select save, the item is updated but the gridview is still showing the old title, i need to press Search again in order to refresh the values.
the code i use for model popup is:
<script type="text/javascript">
function openModal(url) {
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.url = url;
options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(null, CloseCallback);
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
}
// Dialog callback
function CloseCallback(result, target) {
if (result === SP.UI.DialogResult.OK) {
SP.UI.ModalDialog.RefreshPage(SP.UI.DialogResult.OK);
}
}
</script>
what should i do to refresh and bid gridview data when the popup is closed?
on the click of save button, make a serverside call to rebind the gridview. i.e
$(document).ready(function(){
$('id_of_save_button').click(function(){
//ajax call of serverside method to rebind the grid.
});
});
However with asp.net these things become little easy if you use modalPopupExtender that ships with asp.net
Hi for handling sharepoint save event using javascript u can use this function
function PreSaveAction()

How do I clear MVC client side validation errors when a cancel button is clicked when a user has invalidated a form?

I have a partial view that is rendered within a main view. The partial view takes advantage of System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations and Html.EnableClientValidation().
A link is clicked, and div containing the partial view is displayed within a JQuery.Dialog().
I then click the save button without entering any text in my validated input field. This causes the client side validation to fire as expected, and display the '*required' message beside the invalid field.
When the cancel button is clicked, I want to reset the client side MVC validation back to it's default state and remove any messages, ready for when the user opens the dialog again. Is there a recommended way of doing this?
This answer is for MVC3. See comments below for help updating it to MVC 4 and 5
If you just want to clear the validation-messages so that they are not shown to the user you can do it with javascript like so:
function resetValidation() {
//Removes validation from input-fields
$('.input-validation-error').addClass('input-validation-valid');
$('.input-validation-error').removeClass('input-validation-error');
//Removes validation message after input-fields
$('.field-validation-error').addClass('field-validation-valid');
$('.field-validation-error').removeClass('field-validation-error');
//Removes validation summary
$('.validation-summary-errors').addClass('validation-summary-valid');
$('.validation-summary-errors').removeClass('validation-summary-errors');
}
If you need the reset to only work in your popup you can do it like this:
function resetValidation() {
//Removes validation from input-fields
$('#POPUPID .input-validation-error').addClass('input-validation-valid');
$('#POPUPID .input-validation-error').removeClass('input-validation-error');
//Removes validation message after input-fields
$('#POPUPID .field-validation-error').addClass('field-validation-valid');
$('#POPUPID .field-validation-error').removeClass('field-validation-error');
//Removes validation summary
$('#POPUPID .validation-summary-errors').addClass('validation-summary-valid');
$('#POPUPID .validation-summary-errors').removeClass('validation-summary-errors');
}
I hope this is the effect you seek.
If you are using unobtrusive validation that comes with MVC you can simply do:
$.fn.clearErrors = function () {
$(this).each(function() {
$(this).find(".field-validation-error").empty();
$(this).trigger('reset.unobtrusiveValidation');
});
};
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third Party Edit:
This mostly worked in my case, but I had to remove the $(this).find(".field-validation-error").empty(); line. This appeared to affect the re-showing of the validation messages when resubmitting.
I used the following:
$.fn.clearErrors = function () {
$(this).each(function() {
$(this).trigger('reset.unobtrusiveValidation');
});
};
and then called it like this:
$('#MyFormId input').clearErrors();
function resetValidation() {
$('.field-validation-error').html("");
}
You can simply define a new function in jQuery:
$.fn.resetValidation = function () {
$(this).each(function (i, e) {
$(e).trigger('reset.unobtrusiveValidation');
if ($(e).next().is('span')) {
$(e).next().empty();
}
});
};
and then use it for your input fields:
$('#formId input').resetValidation();
Thank you. I had a similar question for a slightly different scenario. I have a screen where when you click one of the submit buttons it downloads a file. In MVC when you return a file for download, it doesn't switch screens, so any error messages which were already there in the validation summary remain there forever. I certainly don't want the error messages to stay there after the form has been submitted again. But I also don't want to clear the field-level validations which are caught on the client-side when the submit button is clicked. Also, some of my views have more than one form on them.
I added the following code (thanks to you) at the bottom of the Site.Master page so it applies to all of my views.
<!-- This script removes just the summary errors when a submit button is pressed
for any form whose id begins with 'form' -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$('[id^=form]').submit(function resetValidation() {
//Removes validation summary
$('.validation-summary-errors').addClass('validation-summary-valid');
$('.validation-summary-errors').removeClass('validation-summary-errors');
});
</script>
Thanks again.
You can tap into the validation library methods to do this.
There are two objects of interest: FormContext and FieldContext. You can access the FormContext via the form's __MVC_FormValidation property, and one FieldContext per validated property via the FormContext's fields property.
So, to clear the validation errors, you can do something like this to a form:
var fieldContexts = form.__MVC_FormValidation.fields;
for(i = 0; i < fieldContexts.length; i++) {
var fieldContext = fieldContexts[i];
// Clears validation message
fieldContext.clearErrors();
}
// Clears validation summary
form.__MVC_FormValidation.clearErrors();
Then, you can hook that piece of code to whichever event you need.
Sources for this (quite undocumented) insight:
http://bradwilson.typepad.com/presentations/advanced-asp-net-mvc-2.pdf (Mentions FieldContext)
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3868490/525499 (For pointing out this link, which metions how to trigger client-side validation via javascript)
In order to complete clear the validation artifacts including the message, the coloured background of the input field, and the coloured outline around the input field, I needed to use the following code, where this was (in my case) a Bootstrap modal dialog containing an imbedded form.
$(this).each(function () {
$(this).find(".field-validation-error").empty();
$(this).find(".input-validation-error").removeClass("input-validation-error");
$(this).find(".state-error").removeClass("state-error");
$(this).find(".state-success").removeClass("state-success");
$(this).trigger('reset.unobtrusiveValidation');
});
Here you can use simply remove error message
$('.field-validation-valid span').html('')
OR
$('.field-validation-valid span').text('')
I've this issue for "Validation summery" after form ajax submit and done it like this:
$form.find('.validation-summary-errors ul').html('');
and complete code is:
$("#SubmitAjax").on('click', function (evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
var $form = $(this).closest('form');
if ($form.valid()) {
//Do ajax call . . .
//Clear validation summery
$form.find('.validation-summary-errors ul').html('');
}
});
