I have an ASP.NET page with three hidden fields. (Just one would do if I can get it to work. Just showing that I've tried several things.)
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenSkillId1" runat="server" />
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenSkillId2" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="hiddenSkillId3" runat="server"/>
I also have a JavaScript function that is being called by an AJAXControlToolKit.AutoCompleteExtender.OnClientItemSelected event:
<script type="text/javascript">
function SkillPartialMatchSelected(source, eventArgs ) {
document.getElementById("ctl00_Content_hiddenSkillId1").Value = eventArgs.get_value();
document.getElementById("hiddenSkillId2").Value = eventArgs.get_value();
document.getElementById("ctl00_Content_hiddenSkillId3").Value = eventArgs.get_value();
}
</script>
Using a break point and inspecting the values, I have confirmed that the vales are being set on the Client side.
Finally I have C# code behind for the page that is connected to a LinkButton OnClick event.
protected void AddSkillToProspect(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string selectedKey1 = Request.Form[hiddenSkillId1.ClientID];
string selectedKey2 = Request.Form["hiddenSkillId2"];
string selectedKey3 = Request.Form[hiddenSkillId3.ClientID];
string selectedItem = SkillNameBox.Text.Trim();
...
}
All three selectedKey values are null but the selectedItem value from the ASP.NET Text Edit has a value.
From what I've read, one of these should work. Am I missing something? What can I do to get the value from a JavaScript function on the client side back to the server side?
The problem is related to case-sensitivity in JavaScript. Although you have set the .Value for these fields, that is not the same as the .value. Change your javascript to set the .value and you should be all set.
<script type="text/javascript">
function SkillPartialMatchSelected(source, eventArgs )
{
document.getElementById("ctl00_Content_hiddenSkillId1").value = eventArgs.get_value();
document.getElementById("hiddenSkillId2").value = eventArgs.get_value();
document.getElementById("ctl00_Content_hiddenSkillId3").value = eventArgs.get_value();
}
</script>
your hiddens controls have runat=server on them means they are server control and you can access them by their id in your code behind
this way the difference will hiddenSkillId1 is a htmlserver control, hiddenSkillId2 normal html control and this one hiddenSkillId3 is an asp.net control
string selectedKey1 = hiddenSkillId1.Value;
string selectedKey3 = hiddenSkillId3.Text;
string selectedKey2 = Request.Form[hiddenSkillId2];
So please try using it this way

i am trying to set the value of a textbox control in my aspx page as the value of a label text. I am using the following code but nothing happens. I have tried from the code behind file using c# and then I want to assign the textbox value to a session variable. If I just assign a string value like "Hello"it works, but otherwise nothing works.
protected void btnBook_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtmtcid.Text = blbtest.Text;
Session["mtcid"] = txtmtcid.Text;
//Response.Redirect("booknow.aspx");
}
}
I also tried with Javascript, but no use:
var mtcid = parsedData.employeeCode;
document.getElementById('txtmtcid').value = mtcid;
The above js code works fine if I am assigning the value of mtcid to a label text, but not for the text box. please help.
You don't show things that could be messing this up.
and we can't see your markup used.
What does your page load event look like. Keep in mind that EVERY button click, post-back or ANY control on the page with a event code stub WILL RUN the page load event EVERY time. the page load event runs every time, and BEFORE your button click code runs.
So, if I have this markup:
<asp:Label ID="blbtest" runat="server" Text="zoo"></asp:Label>
<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="txtmtcid" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
onclick="Button1_Click" />
<br />
And then code behind of this:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtmtcid.Text = blbtest.Text;
}
I then get this when I click on the button
So, we can see how the lable text is now copy to the text box.
You have to post more markup, and give futher detilas (such as some grid view, repeater or any other boatload of features that well explain your issue).
Note that you can double click on the button in the web forms designer to create a event click for the button. Its possible that no event code for the button exists, and your button click code and code behind never runs.
So this is the markup:
<asp:Label ID="blbtest" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static">
</asp:Label>
<asp:Button ID="btnBook" runat="server" Text="Book Now"
CssClass="spaces-info__button" OnClick="btnBook_Click"/>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtmtcid" runat="server">
</asp:TextBox>
Code behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!(Session["username"] == null))
{
string usn = Session["username"].ToString();
lblusn.Text = usn;
}
}
protected void btnBook_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtmtcid.Text = blbtest.Text;
Session["mtcid"] = txtmtcid.Text;
Response.Redirect("booknow.aspx");
}
updated js:
$(function () {
//dom is ready
var request = new XMLHttpRequest;
var usn = document.getElementById('lblusn').innerHTML;
//var usn = "juhaina.ahmed";
console.log(usn);
request.open('GET', "URL" + usn + ""); //of course I have replaced
the URL here
request.onload = function () {
var response = request.response;
var parsedData = JSON.parse(response);
console.log(parsedData);
var nm = parsedData.fullName;
document.getElementById('lblfullnm').innerHTML = nm;
var mtcid = parsedData.employeeCode;
document.getElementById('blbtest').innerHTML = mtcid;
document.getElementById('txtmtcid').value =
document.getElementById('blbtest').innerHTML
};
request.send();
});
I am new to js, and asp.net, so trying to browse whatever possible and work things out here. The session variable value is just not getting passed to next page. Honestly, i dont need the textbox, I dont know if label text can be stored in session variables. If thats possible, then all I want to do is assign the blbtest label text to the session variable, but that also didnt work,but if I am hard coding it like:
Session["mtcid"]="D-11234"
this works and the value of session variable is passed.
hence I am trying now with textbox. Please let me know if theres a better approach to this.
If there is a way to avoid the use of the label and textbox and simply pass the session variable, Session["username"] from the code behind to the javascript, that would be great. how can I do it?
I have a custom control which inherits from TextBox.
This allows me to use the TextBox's AutoPostBack property. This property makes the Page_Load method on the parent page fire when I change the value and click out of the text box.
I am setting the value of the rendered text box in JS as follows
var outputData = document.getElementById("CameraScannerTextbox1");
outputData.value = barcode.Value;
When this code runs I am expecting the Page_Load method to run again.
I have tried things like
outputData.focus();
outputData.value = barcode.Value;
outputData.blur();
The code in the Page_Load is
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
Label1.Text = CameraScannerTextbox1.Text;
}
}
So basically I am hoping to have whatever is in barcode.Value set on Label1.Text on the server.
All you need is to trigger onchange event for input since ASP.NET adds postback code to onchange attribute. The simplest way is calling onchange manually
var outputData = document.getElementById("CameraScannerTextbox1");
outputData.value = barcode.Value;
outputData.onchange();
For more advanced techniques of simulating onchange event see this and this answers.
You can simply trigger the PostBack yourself with __doPostBack.
<asp:TextBox ID="CameraScannerTextbox1" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" AutoPostBack="true"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server">
<script>
var outputData = document.getElementById("CameraScannerTextbox1");
outputData.value = '123456';
__doPostBack('CameraScannerTextbox1', '');
</script>
</asp:PlaceHolder>
Code behind
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
Label1.Text = CameraScannerTextbox1.Text;
PlaceHolder1.Visible = false;
}
}
Not that I placed the javascript in a PlaceHolder that is hiddedn on PostBack, otherwise it will create a PostBack loop. But there are other ways to prevent that also.
I have a parent page that launches a telerik radwindow and passes it an argument.
Once the radwindow is done processeing the value, I need it to return it to the parent page, and I would like the parent page to have access to this value in my code behind page.
I have tried to pass the value to a hidden field on my page and then trigger a page refresh and my code behind watches to see if the value is working.
I can't seem to get this to work. I get the return value in the parent javascript, but i can't get it from my hidden field from the code behind.
I even get it into the text box like i need to but, when i find the Hidden field in the codebehind, there is no value set.
Where I have set alerts, I am getting the values displayed as i need to.
I suspect that the reason I can't see my return value in the code behind file, is that when the page is refreshed, I am getting a new page and not only causing a post back.
And is there not a better way i can do this.
here is my code in the parent page:
Parent ASPX:
<script type="text/javascript">
function OpenWnd() {
var oWnd = radopen(null, "RadWindow1");
}
function OnClientShow(oWnd) {
//Create a new Object to be used as an argument to the radWindow
var arg = new Object();
//Using an Object as a argument is convenient as it allows setting many properties.
arg.text = document.getElementById("TextBox1").value;
//Set the argument object to the radWindow
oWnd.Argument = arg;
}
function ClientCallBackFunction(radWindow, returnValue) {
//check if a value is returned from the dialog
if (returnValue.newtext) {
document.getElementById("Hidden1").value = returnValue.newtext;
alert("HiddenValue: " + document.getElementById("Hidden1").value);
}
}
</script>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadScriptManager>
<div>
<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager2" runat="server">
<Windows>
<telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server" OnClientShow="OnClientShow" ClientCallBackFunction="ClientCallBackFunction"
NavigateUrl="Dialog2.aspx" />
</Windows>
</telerik:RadWindowManager>
</div>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:TextBox>
<input type="button" value="Send content to dialog page" onclick="OpenWnd()" />
<p>
<input id="Hidden1" type="hidden" runat="server" />
</p>
</form>
Parent Code Behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HtmlInputHidden hidden = (HtmlInputHidden)Page.FindControl("Hidden1");
if (IsPostBack && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(hidden.Value))
{
//Code Here
}
}
Here is my Dialog code:
Dialog ASPX:
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetRadWindow() {
var oWindow = null;
if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow;
else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
return oWindow;
}
function ConfigureDialog() {
//Get a reference to the radWindow wrapper
var oWindow = GetRadWindow();
//Obtain the argument
var oArg = oWindow.Argument;
//Use the argument
var oArea = document.getElementById("TextBox1");
oArea.value = oArg.text;
}
function SendAndClose() {
var oWindow = GetRadWindow();
//Get current content of text area
var arg = new Object();
arg.newtext = document.getElementById("TextBox1").value;
oWindow.Close(arg);
RefreshParentPage();
}
function RefreshParentPage() {
GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.location.reload();
alert("RefreshParentPage");
}
</script>
Thanks for all the help
Ian
You are doing the following
GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.location.reload();
But that wont cause a postback it will simply reload the parent page, you need to cause a potback.
You could try adding a button to the parent form with the style set 'display:none', and handling the click event in the code behind, you can fire this button off from your js code.
In Parent Page :
<asp:Button runat="server" id="btnClick" Style="display:none" OnClick="btnClick_Click"/>
protected void btnClick_Click(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
string val = this.Hidden1.Value; //Code goes here
}
You can invoke from your javascript like this (non jQuery), place this in your callback
document.getElementById('<%= btnClick.ClientID').click();
A better approach would be this on the aspx side:
<%=this.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(new System.Web.UI.PostBackOptions(btnClick))%>
I have an ASP.NET application that uses jQuery. My ASP.NET application dynamically generates some HyperLink elements based on some values in a database. When a user clicks one of these HyperLink elements, I want to display a jQuery dialog box that allows the user to edit the text of the HyperLink. I have this part working.
When a user clicks the "Save" button, I need to read the values of the HyperLink elements and save them back to the database. Currently, I get the initial values of the HyperLink elements. However, I cannot get any modified values. How do I get the values that were provided by the user? I have provided my .aspx and .aspx.cs code here:
test
Report:
<div id="recommendDialog" title="Number">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td>Number</td></tr>
<tr><td><input id="optionName" type="text" /></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<asp:Button ID="saveButton" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="saveButton_Click" />
</div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var editingID = null;
$("#recommendDialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 200,
modal: true,
buttons: {
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
},
'OK': function() {
var newValue = $("#optionName").val();
if (editingID != null) {
$(editingID).attr("name", newValue);
$(editingID).html(newValue);
}
$(this).dialog('close');
}
},
close: function() {
}
});
function update_Click(link) {
editingID = "#" + link.id;
$("#optionName").val(link.name);
$('#recommendDialog').dialog('open');
}
</script>
Here is my code-behind:
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
AddHyperlinks();
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{}
protected void saveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (TableCell cell in reportTable.Rows[0].Cells)
{
HyperLink h = (HyperLink)(cell.Controls[0]);
string newValue = h.Attributes["name"];
// Save value to database here. newValue does not show
// changed values.
Console.WriteLine(newValue);
}
}
private void AddHyperlinks()
{
TableRow row = new TableRow();
for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++)
{
HyperLink hyperlink = new HyperLink();
hyperlink.NavigateUrl = "#";
hyperlink.Text = i.ToString();
hyperlink.Attributes.Add("id", "h" + i);
hyperlink.Attributes.Add("name", i.ToString());
hyperlink.Attributes.Add("onclick", "update_Click(this);");
AddLinkButtonToRow(hyperlink, row);
}
reportTable.Rows.Add(row);
}
private void AddLinkButtonToRow(HyperLink linkButton, TableRow row)
{
TableCell cell = new TableCell();
cell.Controls.Add(linkButton);
row.Cells.Add(cell);
}
}
What you're trying to do isn't possible that way. You create links every time the page is created. Although you change the name of these links in JavaScript, these values are not posted back to you.
On Sumbit, only form elements get posted back to the server (<input>s, for example), not <a> elements, so your server doesn't "know" the changes were made.
Secondly, even if you'll change the <a>s to <input>s, you still have a problem: you won't be able to find these values in reportTable.Rows[0].Cells as you expect. Normally asp.net will fill these values correctly, even for dynamically generated controls, but not here - since you've changed their names! Asp.net cannot rebind these values.
So, what should you do? One option is to add an hidden field to every cell.
On AddLinkButtonToRow, add the following:
HtmlInputHidden hidden = new HtmlInputHidden();
hidden.ID = "hidden" + linkButton.ID;
hidden.Name = hidden.ID; //so it will be posted!
hidden.Style["display"] = "none"; //better to have a CssClass
Using jQuery, which you seem to know, change the values of these input fields, not their names (something like $(editingID).parent().find(":hidden")).
Next, you might not see the values on the controls, but you can find them at Request.Form["hiddenh1"] ... Request.Form["hiddenh11"] - All input fields will names will be posted, and you know their names this time.
I'm not sure where or what "ReportTable" and it's tablecells are, but I'm guessing your problem is that you're manipulating the value of some tags on the client using jQuery, and expecting them to be posted back to the server?
This won't work. The page got rendered with known values of your HyperLink controls in ViewState. Since tags are not input types, they will not post a value back to the server on a postback, and ViewState will always re-initialize them with their original values. Any manipulation must be done on the server side.
I would recommend doing what ScottE suggests and do your update with jquery ajax.
I have two hidden controls:
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" id="pageHeader" />
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" id="pageInformation" />
I am calling following function from master page:
show_tip(this, document.getElementById('ctl00_pageInformation').value, document.getElementById('ctl00_pageHeader').value);
and i am passing values in hidden field on .cs page in page load as follows:
string message = Request.Form["pageInformation"];
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(message))
{
((HiddenField)Master.FindControl("pageHeader")).Value = pageHeading;
((HiddenField)Master.FindControl("pageInformation")).Value = pageInformation;
}
This is working fine, but on page POSTBACK, hidden fields lose their value. How can I retain the values after postback?
OK this is what you do.
Two functions and a hidden field. The first functions in JS adds a handler which gets the values from the hidden fields and stores them in variables. The second function in JS adds a handler which gets the values from the variables and puts them back into the hidden fields.
<script type="text/javascript">
var txt1;
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();
prm.add_beginRequest(BeginRequestHandler);
prm.add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);
function BeginRequestHandler(sender, args) {
txt1 = $get('<%= hdntxt1.ClientID%>').value;
}
function EndRequestHandler(sender, args) {
$get('<%= hdntxt1.ClientID%>').value = txt1;
}
</script>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hdntxt1" Value="" />
You don't actually need to use hidden fields however if other parts of the form need to obtain the values then those values will be handy at any time regardless of postbacks!
I guess your hidden field value is getting reset on post back.
Try keeping your code inside if block cheking for postback
if(!ispostback)
{
string message = Request.Form["pageInformation"];
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(message))
{
((HiddenField)Master.FindControl("pageHeader")).Value = pageHeading;
((HiddenField)Master.FindControl("pageInformation")).Value = pageInformation;
}
}
