I'm using jQuery Thickbox to display an iframe (upload.aspx) that allows a user to upload a file. In the code behind for the upload.aspx I finish by sending:
Response.Redirect("blah.aspx");
The page I redirect to is dynamic based on the results of the upload process. When this redirect happens, it happens inside the Thickbox and not the parent window as I'd like it to. Here's the calling ASP.NET page (home.aspx):
Add New
And here's the submit button inside of the upload.aspx page:
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="Upload"
OnClick="btnUpload_Click" OnClientClick="self.parent.tb_remove();" />
This is designed to close the modal window and send control to the code behind to perform the file upload, processing, etc.
Has anyone experienced this before? How would I go about sending a redirect on the parent window?
You cannot send a redirect to a parent frame.
Instead, you need to use Javascript.
You can write top.location = "whatever"; in Javascript in the <iframe>.
Here's what I ended up doing.
Added server tags to the body element of upload.aspx:
<body id="mBody" runat="server">
Removed the Response.Redirect, and attached some JavaScript to run on the next load.
HtmlGenericControl body = (HtmlGenericControl)Page.FindControl("mBody");
body.Attributes.Add("onload", "window.top.location.href='blah.aspx';");
And removed the client click from the button:
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="Upload"
OnClick="btnUpload_Click" />

I want to use an asp.net button to launch an outlook window using the following html.
<a href="mailto:sample#website.com?subject=Insurance Text">
What do I need to do to file html code from my onClick event?
Try this
<asp:Button runat="server"
ID="btn"
OnClientClick="document.location = 'mailto:sample#website.com?subject=Insurance Text'; return false;"
Text="Mail" />
There are two approaches. If you want the standard button, you could use something like this:
<asp:Button ID="MailToButton"
Text="Send Email"
OnClientClick="javascript: navigate('mailto:blah#blah.com'); return false;"
runat="server" />
EDIT 2: Never mind about the UseSubmitBehavior property - I was incorrect. You'll just have to use return false;. Apparently ASP.NET does not render a regular non-submit button. How to disable postback on an asp Button
If you want an anchor tag, you can just use the NavigateUrl property of the Hyperlink tag:
<asp:HyperLink ID="MailToHyperlink"
Text="Send Email"
NavigateUrl="mailto:blah#blah.com"
runat="server" />
You cannot launch Outlook from the standard click event in the code behind, however. The code behind click event occurs on the server, not on the client's machine, so whatever you do it needs to happen on the client's machine either through standard HTML or through javascript.
Why an ASP.NET button?
Just use a simple HTML button.
They are plenty of example on the web. This one should work: using mailto button click event
This must be a stupid question, but I've been unable to find it.
I have an asp.net control that includes a RadWindowManager that has a child RadWindow. The RadWindow has the property NavigateUrl set to an asp.net page. I wish to have a Submit button that will do some server interaction and then close the RadWindow. The page that is the target of the NavigateUrl property doesn't have a reference to the window, which is the source of the problem.
Control
<asp:Content>
<RadWindowManager>
<RadWindow NavigateUrl="PageLocation">
</RadWindowManager>
</asp:Content>
Page
<asp:Content>
<telerik:RadButton Text="Submit" OnClick="CloseRadWindow"/>
</asp:Content>
How can I have a page with a button that can control the closing of its container (the RadWindow)?
Try using self.close(); at the point where you want to close the RadWindow:
<telerik:RadButton ID="Submit" OnClientClick="self.close();return false;" ... />
In my application I have some link buttons there but when I right click on them I cannot (they are in disable mode) find the menu items Open in new tab or Open in new window.
How do I show those menu items?
Code example:
<asp:LinkButton id="lbnkVidTtile1" runat="Server" CssClass="bodytext" Text='<%#Eval("newvideotitle") %>' />
From the docs:
Use the LinkButton control to create a hyperlink-style button on the Web page. The LinkButton control has the same appearance as a HyperLink control, but has the same functionality as a Button control. If you want to link to another Web page when the control is clicked, consider using the HyperLink control.
As this isn't actually performing a link in the standard sense, there's no Target property on the control (the HyperLink control does have a Target) - it's attempting to perform a PostBack to the server from a text link.
Depending on what you are trying to do you could either:
Use a HyperLink control, and set the Target property
Provide a method to the OnClientClick property that opens a new window to the correct place.
In your code that handles the PostBack add some JavaScript to fire on PageLoad that will open a new window correct place.
Here is your Tag.
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server">Open Test Page</asp:LinkButton>
Here is your code on the code behind.
LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("href","../Test.aspx")
LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("target","_blank")
Hope this will be helpful for someone.
Edit
To do the same with a link button inside a template field, use the following code.
Use GridView_RowDataBound event to find Link button.
Dim LB as LinkButton = e.Row.FindControl("LinkButton1")
LB.Attributes.Add("href","../Test.aspx")
LB.Attributes.Add("target","_blank")
try by Adding following onClientClick event.
OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';"
so on click it will call Javascript function an will open respective link in News tab.
<asp:LinkButton id="lbnkVidTtile1" OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';" runat="Server" CssClass="bodytext" Text='<%# Eval("newvideotitle") %>' />
This is not perfect, but it works.
<asp:LinkButton id="lbnkVidTtile1" runat="Server"
CssClass="bodytext" Text='<%# Eval("newvideotitle") %>'
OnClientClick="return PostToNewWindow();" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function PostToNewWindow()
{
originalTarget = document.forms[0].target;
document.forms[0].target='_blank';
window.setTimeout("document.forms[0].target=originalTarget;",300);
return true;
}
</script>
LinkButton executes HTTP POST operation, you cant change post target here.
Not all the browsers support posting form to a new target window.
In order to have it post, you have to change target of your "FORM".
You can use some javascript workaround to change your POST target, by changing form's target attribute, but browser will give a warning to user (IE Does), that this page is trying to post data on a new window, do you want to continue etc.
Try to find out ID of your form element in generated aspx, and you can change target like...
getElementByID('theForm').target = '_blank' or 'myNewWindow'
When the LinkButton Enabled property is false it just renders a standard hyperlink. When you right click any disabled hyperlink you don't get the option to open in anything.
try
lbnkVidTtile1.Enabled = true;
I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Could I just make sure that you understand the purpose of a LinkButton? It is to give the appearance of a HyperLink but the behaviour of a Button. This means that it will have an anchor tag, but there is JavaScript wired up that performs a PostBack to the page. If you want to link to another page then it is recommended here
that you use a standard HyperLink control.
It throws error.
Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'aspnetForm' is undefined
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" target="_blank">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>
Use target="_blank" because It creates anchor markup. the following HTML is generated for above code
<a id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_LinkButton1" target="_blank" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$LinkButton1','')">LinkButton</a>
I have some simple javascript that I'd like to run when a button is clicked, but I also want some postback action to occur on the server. The logical code for this looks like this:
<asp:Button ID="btnOK" runat="server" Text="Save Changes" OnClientClick="UpdateParent();" OnClick="btnOK_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" OnClientClick="window.close();" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function UpdateParent()
{
window.opener.document.location.reload(true); // or should we postback instead?
window.close();
}
</script>
Basically, a popup window should refresh its parent and then close itself. However... if I call window.close(), the postback does not occur and the button handler is not called. But obviously OnClientClick is called before the postback happens. Am I going to have to emit this javascript in the button handler and run it when the page loads after postback? If so, what is the proper way to do this these days for ASP.NET 2.0?
It's a shame that the code above doesn't work as it's elegantly simple and straightforward.
You have to do the postback before closing the window. Also you want to do the postback before refreshing the parent window, as I guess that the reason to refresh the window is to display the information that you are about to save.
Use the RegisterStartupScript in the ClientScript object to run the code after postback:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "close", "window.opener.location.reload(true);window.close();", true);
However, if the parent page is a result of a postback, this would cause a dialog window in the browser informing the user that a post request is needed to reload the page. To avoid this you would have to do something like calling a function in the parent page that could do a postback to update the page.
I have to navigate to another page in asp.net suppose I have two pages i.e. Default.aspx and Default2.aspx how do I navigate between them ?
You could use anchors in your aspx page:
Click to navigate to Default2.aspx
or make a redirect in your code behind:
Response.Redirect("~/Default2.aspx");
there are many ways, here are a few to get you started
go there
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" ID="lnk" Text="go there" NavigateURL="default2.aspx" />
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="btn" Text="go there" OnClick="server_method_that_redirects" />
On your server side codebehind you may also consider using Server.Transfer(..) instead of Response.Redirect(..).
Response.Redirect sends an instruction to the browser to change the page while Server.Transfer does it directly on the server side. Browse the web for further information about the differences.
