onclick message handling on a webpage button - asp.net

I have a button on a webpage that has the following added programmatically to its “Attributes” property.
btnDeleteNode.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if(confirm('delete this node?')){}else{return false}");
This works fine but now I need to check to see if the user has selected a node in a tree before asking if they want to delete it. If a node isn’t selected I need to tell the user to select one. My question is, can I do this using the above method (I don’t know java script) or should I use a different approach ?

You can set a flag (using javascript) on selection of any node and check the flag here.

You can use a flag or use from Asp Validators

Google Tag Manager - trigger not working on user click

So I am trying to set up a very simple gtag trigger and event to fire whenever a user clicks on a particular CSS element, but I just cannot get it working.
I am using click element - contains - dash_pts
When I check out the preview to investigate, I see the following for the trigger which is not firing. However, this doesn't make sense to me - the trigger filter variable DOES contain "dash_pts"... why is it not firing?
I must be doing something dumb somewhere but I'm at a loss, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Also please let me know if there are other details I can include that might help identify the issue. Thanks!
Try to add the dot too:
.dash_pts
and use matches CSS selector instead of contains.

Unable to get current click value through Adobe Launch

I created a click event in adobe launch which will capture the value of the link and send it to analytics. I have created a data element for saving the value and in my DOM I am saving value in local storage.
Local storage code:
$('.card').click(function() {
var name = $(this).text();
localStorage.setItem('productName', name);
});
My problem is when I click the first link no value got saved, but after when I click second link it saves the value of first link and on third link saves value of second link and so on. I want to save current link value in evar3 variable.
Data element:
Rule:
Set variables:
Thanks,

I'm scratching my head a little bit about why your jQuery selector doesn't match your Rule selector, but that's probably not immediately related or relevant, considering you said you are seeing data pop, in general, so at face value, I'm going to ignore that.
But in general, it sounds like your jQuery code is getting executed after the Rule is evaluated, so it's effectively one step behind. I'm not sure there's much if anything you can do about that if you aim to keep two separate click event listeners like this.
You're going to have to restructure to have one chain off the other (which I don't think is actually feasible with jQuery > Launch as-is. Maybe if you write two separate custom code blocks with promise chaining but that kind of sidesteps Launch and IMO is over-complicating things to begin with (see below)). Better yet, merge them into a single click event listener. On that note..
Why do you have two separate click event listeners? Is the sole reason for this to pass off the link text? Because you can reference the clicked element in the Launch Rule itself.
You should be able to reference %this.innerText% in the Set Variables fields. Or you can reference this object in custom code boxes within the Rule.
IOW at face value I don't see why you need or should be creating/using that jQuery listener or pushing to local storage like that.
Update:
You commented the following:
I tried with %this.innerText% it is also not showing current values. I
am pushing the value first to local storage because my link values are
generating on runtime through an API. They are not hardcoded. I am
also trying to figure out why my rule is getting fired before my
jquery is evaluated. But when I check in console using
_satellite.getVar('Product Name'); it shows me the correct value, but in debugger console value is wrong. Can you show me the way you want
to create rule to getting it fired correctly ? Thanks,
Okay so your link values are generated runtime through an API call? Well okay now that sounds like where the (timing) issue is, and it's the same issue in principle I mentioned you prolly had between the jQuery and Launch code. Assuming you can't change this dynamic link functionality, you have two options:
1. Explicitly trigger a launch rule (direct call rule) in a callback from the API code that's generating the link values.
This is the better method, because you won't have race condition issues with your API vs. link tracking code. The biggest caveat about this method though is that it requires requires you to actively add code to the site, which may or may not be feasible for you.
I have no idea what your code for generating the link looks like, but presumably it's some ajax call and generated from the success callback. So in the callback, you'd add a line of code something like this:
_satellite.track('product_image_click', {
text : elem.innerText
});
Again, I don't know what your API code that generates the link looks like, but presumably you have within it some element object you append to or update the DOM, so for this example, I will refer to that as elem.
'product_image_click' - This is the value you use for the direct call rule identifier in the interface, e.g. :
And then _satellite.track() call also includes an object payload in 2nd argument that you can pass to the direct call rule. So in the code above, I set a property named text and give it a value of elem.innerText.
Then, within the direct call rule, where you set variables, the data you passed can be referenced from event.details object within custom code box (e.g. event.details.text), or using % syntax within the interface fields (e.g. %event.details.text%).
2. Make use of setTimeout to delay evaluating the link click.
The one advantage of this method over option #1 is that it is passive. You don't have to add code directly to your site to make it work.
However, this is the shadier option, because you don't really know how long it will take for your link to be generated. But generally speaking, if you can determine it takes on average say 250ms for the link generation API to do its thing, and you set the timeout to be called at say 300-500ms, then you will probably be okay most of the time. However, it's never a 100% guarantee.
In addition, if clicking on the link ultimately redirects the visitor to another page, then this solution will likely not work for you at all, since the browser will almost certainly have navigated before this has a chance to execute. Because of this, I normally I wouldn't even mention this as an option, but since you mentioned this link involves an API that generates the link values when clicked, I figured maybe this isn't a navigation / redirect link, so maybe this is an option you can go for, if you can't do option #1.
First, create a direct call rule the same as shown in option #1. This will be the rule that receives the link text and makes the Adobe Analytics (or whatever other marketing tag) calls.
Then, create a separate rule as a click event, similar to what you are currently trying to do (listening for the link click, based on your css selector). In this rule, you won't be setting any AA variables. Instead, add a custom js box with code like this:
var elem = this;
(function (elem) {
window.setTimeout(function() {
_satellite.track('product_image_click', {
text : elem.innerText
});
}, 500);
})(elem);
So when the rule is triggered, it will create a setTimeout callback to call the first rule, passing the link text in the payload. And.. hopefully the 500ms timeout shown in the code example is enough time for the API to do its thing. You may be able to adjust it up or down.
Rather than defining it in Data Element I would say its better to keep it directly in the Rule itself. Please try with this %this.#text%.
Let me know if this helped.

What is "Post on Changes" or "Reflection" functionality?

I am new to CC Guidewire. I didnt understand what post on change will do?
Thanks.
The "postOnChange" attribute on a PCF UI element can either be true or false.
If it is true then everytime that UI field is changed by a user; it will POST back to the server.
The server will then execute the code in corresponding UI elements "onChange" attribute.
These together basically allows you to add a piece of code that will fire when that UI field is been changed on screen by the user.
The reflection items can be used to use AJAX style updates to multiple fields on the basis of others. It is a bit more complex to use and understand.

ASP.NET 3.5 - Making a field readonly/unmodifiable without "disabling" it

I have a web application with a form that has disabled fields in it. It allows a "Save As" function which basically means the settings can be copied into a new configuration (without being modified) and in the new configuration they can be changed to something else. The problem I am running into with this is that since the fields are disabled, they are not getting posted through and do not appear in the context object on the server side.
When I removed the logic to disable the fields, that part works fine. So the remaining problem is, how to "disable" the fields (not allow any change of the data in any of the entry fields) without really "disabling" them (so that the data gets posted through when saving)?
I was originally looking for a way to do this in CSS but not sure if it exists. The best solution is of course, the simplest one. Thanks in advance!
(Note: by 'disabled' I mean "The textboxes display but none of the text inside of them can be modified at all". It does not matter to me whether the cursor appears when you click inside it, though if I had a preference it would be no cursor...)

readonly attribute is what you want.
i would suggest that instead of using the non-updateable field values from the page's inputs, you retrieve the original object from the DB and copy them from there. It's pretty trivial using something like Firebug to modify the contents of the page whose form will be posted back to modify the values, even if they are marked as readonly. Since you really want the values from the original, I would simply reget the object and copy them. Then you don't need to worry about whether the original (and non-updateable) properties get posted back at all.

Multiple reCAPTCHAs in one ASP.Net page

It is possible to add multiple reCAPTCHAS in one form? I tried doing so, even giving the multiple reCAPTCHAS different IDs, but when I load the page in the browser, only one of them is shown.
Is this by design? I need the two reCAPTCHAS because one is for Login, and the other one is for the Register form, which will be shown on the same page.
Thanks!

Only one Cpatcha is supported in a page at any time. What you can do is use AJAX and lod captcha after the form is loaded.
This might of some help.
After a quick google search, it appears that it's not currently possible. One suggestion I saw was to pop up a modal recaptcha just as the user submits the form. ondemandcaptcha for Ruby.
I was initially lead by this thread to believe there is no simple answer, but after digging through the Recaptcha ajax library I can tell you this isn't true! TLDR, working jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Vanit/Qu6kn/
It's possible to overwrite the Recaptcha callbacks to do whatever you want with the challenge. You don't even need a proxy div because with the overwrites the DOM code won't execute. Call Recaptcha.reload() whenever you want to trigger the callbacks again.
function doSomething(challenge){
$(':input[name=recaptcha_challenge_field]').val(challenge);
$('img.recaptcha').attr('src', '//www.google.com/recaptcha/api/image?c='+challenge);
}
//Called on Recaptcha.reload()
Recaptcha.finish_reload = function(challenge,b,c){
doSomething(challenge);
}
//Called on page load
Recaptcha.challenge_callback = function(){
doSomething(RecaptchaState.challenge)
}
Recaptcha.create("YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY");
It is now possible to do this easily with explicit recaptcha creation. See my answer here:
How do I show multiple recaptchas on a single page?
It's not too difficult to load each Recaptcha only when needed using the Recaptcha AJAX API, see my post here:
How do I show multiple recaptchas on a single page?
the captcha has an img element #recaptcha_challenge_image element , so after you set the recaptcha in one div say "regCaptch",get that img src attr
,set your other captcha div html to the old one html and then set the #recaptcha_challenge_image src to the src you get , here is a working example
var reCaptcha_src = $('#recaptcha_challenge_image').attr('src');
$('#texo').html($('#regCaptch').html());
$('#recaptcha_challenge_image').attr('src',reCaptcha_src);
