I have a page with a button and when it is clicked, it will execute a long time task asynchronously. I tried to implement validation on that button using javascript and a confirmation dialog box will pop up when it is clicked. But when i clicked on 'Cancel' in the confirmation dialog box, the long time task still will be executed instead of returning false.
Any idea guys? Any help is appreciated!
Code-Behind:
btnPrint.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:submittingID='btnAdd';return validation();")
Public Sub LongTimeTask()
.......
End Sub
Javascript:
function validation() {
....
confirmPrint()
}
function confirmPrint() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to print? This process may take up to few minutes.") == true)
return true;
else
return false;
}
validation doesn't return anything. try:
function validation() {
//...
return confirmPrint();
}
You can also remove the if from confirmPrint. Doesn't change the behavior, but no need to check for true and return true:
function confirmPrint() {
return confirm("Are you sure you want to print?");
}
My guess from the description you gave is something like this:

What I would like to do is have the user add a new record to the database and popup a JQuery dialog confirming that the new record was saved. I thought this would be a simple exercise. I have a gridview bound to a LINQDataSource to allow the user to view and edit existing records and a textbox and a button to add new codes.
In the head of the document, I have the following:
$('#dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 400,
buttons: {
"Ok": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
and futher down in the markup I have:
<div id="dialog" title="New Code Added">
<p>"<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="LiteralNewCode"></asp:Literal>" was successfully added.</p>
</div>
So when the user enters a new description and it passes all the validation, it's added to the database and the gridview is rebound to display the new record.
protected void ButtonSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsValid)
{
CCRCode.Add( <long list of paramters> );
GridCode.DataBind();
IsNewCode = true;
NewDescription = <new description saved to database>;
}
}
Now, here's where (I thought) I'd set a boolean property to indicate that a new description had been added as well as the text of the new description. See below:
protected bool IsNewCode
{
get { return ViewState["IsNewCode"] != null ? (bool)ViewState["IsNewCode"] : false; }
set { ViewState["IsNewCode"] = value; }
}
private string NewDescription
{
get { return ViewState["NewDescription"] != null ? ViewState["NewDescription"].ToString() : string.Empty; }
set { ViewState["NewDescription"] = value; }
}
Here's where I loose my way. My guess is I want to add functionality to include code similar to:
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
I've added a registerscriptblock method in the page_load event but that didn't work. Any ideas? Or am I just going about this entirely wrong?
Thanks.
Not really get what you want to do. But, i use jquery alot with .NET in my projects. here is how i do, probably could give you a hint.
foo.aspx.cs
public String ScriptToRun = "$('#dialog').dialog('open');";
change the value of ScriptToRun in your C# code
foo.aspx
$(document).ready(function() {<%=ScriptToRun %>});
Remember that whatever you done in backend is going to generate HTML, Css& javascript to browser.
Two ways: one, write the javascript in your server-side code. Or, define a JS method to show the dialog (say named showDialog), and call it via:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(... "showDialog();" ..);
RegisterStartupScript puts the method call at the end, ensure your script is above it to work. You can also wrap it with document.ready call too, to ensure JQuery is properly loaded.
I think that the only think that you have miss is the creation of the dialog when the Dom is ready.
$(document).ready(function() {$('#dialog').dialog('open');});
I posted code in a different question for a custom "MessageBox" class I wrote:
ASP.NET Jquery C# MessageBox.Show dialog uh...issue
the code by default uses the javascript alert() function, but you can define your callback so that it calls your custom javascript method to display the messages.
So i have a ASP.NET 4 Custom Control called "SafeClickButton" which is designed to override the default behaviour of the client-side click (OnClientClick).
Essentially i'm trying to disable the button on click, then do any existing functionality (validation, postback, etc).
It looks to be correctly rendering the HTML (onclick="this.disabled=true;__doPostback...), and it is disabling correctly, but the problem is with the page validation. If any validation on the page has failed, its posting back and THEN showing the validation errors (where it should be done on client side without requiring a postback).
Here's the code for the custom control.
public class SafeClickButton : Button
{
public override string OnClientClick
{
get
{
return string.Format("this.disabled=true;{0}", Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(this, string.Empty));
}
set
{
base.OnClientClick = value;
}
}
protected override PostBackOptions GetPostBackOptions()
{
PostBackOptions options = new PostBackOptions(this, string.Empty) {ClientSubmit = true};
if (Page != null)
{
if (CausesValidation && (Page.GetValidators(ValidationGroup).Count > 0))
{
options.PerformValidation = true;
options.ValidationGroup = ValidationGroup;
}
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(PostBackUrl))
{
options.ActionUrl = HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode(ResolveClientUrl(PostBackUrl));
}
}
return options;
}
}
What am i doing wrong?
EDIT
Okay so i found part of the problem:
return string.Format("this.disabled=true;{0}", Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(this, string.Empty));
Will not apply the dervied behaviour of the postbackoptions.
So i changed it to this:
return string.Format("this.disabled=true;{0}", Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(GetPostBackOptions()));
Now the validation is getting fired properly on the client side, but the button isn't re-enabled, FML =)
I think i need to be even smarted now, and say "If validation fails, re-enable button".
Any ideas?
You should be able to just add the Page_ClientValidate method inline. I have never tried this so it might not work:
return string.Format("if (Page_ClientValidate()) { this.disabled=true; {0} } else return false;",
Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(this, string.Empty));
You might have to mess with it or add some checks to support GroupValidation but I think this will get you on the right path.
EDIT: I have updated the answer and moved you disable into the if so it only gets disabled when Page_ClientValidate fails.
Check out this link as it is doing what you are looking for I think and illustrates what I was meaning with the Page_ClientValidate:

I have a C# ASP.NET web page with an xml file upload form. When the user clicks 'upload', a javascript confirm alert will pop up asking the user, "is this file correct?". The confirm alert will only activate if the file name does not contain a value from one of the other form fields.
What is the best way to combine the use of a C# ASP.NET form and a javascript confirm alert that is activated if the name of a file being uploaded does not meet certain criteria?
There's not much you need to do with C# for this page, it sounds like most of this will be done on the client side.
Add the fileupload control and a button to your .aspx form. Set the Button's OnClientClick property to something like
OnClientClick = "return myFunction()"
and then write a javascript function like:
function myFunction()
{
// Check other text values here
if (needToConfirm){
return confirm('Are you sure you want to upload?');
}
else return true;
}
Make sure "myFunction()" returns false if you wish to cancel the postback (i.e. the user clicked "no" in the confirm dialog). This will cancel the postback if they click "No".
I suppose you are putting value of valid string in a hidden field (you haven't mentioned). Implement OnClientClick for Upload button:
<asp:button .... OnClientClick="return confirmFileName();"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function confirmFileName()
{
var f = $("#<%= file1.ClientID %>").val();
var s=$("#<%= hidden1.ClientID %>").attr("value");
if (f.indexOf(s) == -1) {
if (!confirm("Is this correct file?")) {
$("#<%=file1.ClientID %>").focus();
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
</script>
EDIT:- Regarding <%= file1.ClientID %>.
This will be replaced by the client side ID of the file upload control like ctl00$ctl00$cphContentPanel$file1. It puts the script on steroids with respect to using something like $("input[id$='file1']"). For more information please see Dave Wards' post.
window.onload = function() {
document.forms[0].onsubmit = function() {
var el = document.getElementById("FileUpload1");
var fileName = el.value;
if(fileName.indexOf("WHATEVER_VALUE") == -1) {
if(!confirm("Is the file correct?")) {
el.focus();
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
I had problems implementing this kind of thing to work in both IE and FireFox because of the way events work in those browsers. When I got it to work in one of them, the other would still cause a postback even if I cancelled out.
Here's what we have in our code (the browser test was stolen from elsewhere).
if (!window.confirm("Are you sure?"))
{
if (/MSIE (\d+\.\d+);/.test(navigator.userAgent))
window.event.returnValue = false;
else
e.preventDefault();
}
In addition to using client side validation, you should also add a CustomValidator to provide validation on the server side. You cannot trust that the user has Javascript turned on, or that the user has not bypassed your Javascript checks.
Is there a way to check if a ValidationSummary control has its IsValid property set to true using Javascript in the OnClientClick event of a button?
What I'm trying to do is to show a message that says "please wait while your file is uploading" on an upload page, but if I use javascript to show that message, it shows up even when the ValidationSummary has errors, so the message shows up along with the errors underneath, which confuses users.
If you have several validation groups on single page then you should check only certain group:
var isValid = Page_ClientValidate('GroupName');
I think this will do what you want.
var isValid = false;
if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function')
{
isValid = Page_ClientValidate();
}
if(isValid)
{
ShowMessage(...);
}
In case others need something like this, here is my solution:
In the button's OnClientClick event, I'm calling a javascript function called showContent(). In this function, I use setTimeout to call a second function that checks the page's IsValid property:
function showContent()
{
setTimeout("delayedShow()", 1);
}
function delayedShow()
{
if (Page_IsValid != null && Page_IsValid == true)
{
document.getElementById('divUploading').style.display = "block";
}
}
The Page_IsValid returns true in the OnClientClick event because the javascript validation runs after this, so the 1 second delay allows the IsValid property to be properly set.
I guess what you should do is dissable the uppload button and show a message while upload is in progress. For example by using an ajax panel and an progress template.
Goal:
Allow the user to delete a record by dragging a row from an AdvancedDataGrid, dropping it onto a trash-can icon and verify the user meant to do that via a popup alert with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons.
What is working:
Dragging/Dropping a row onto the trash icon.
If the user clicks the "OK" button, the record is deleted.
If the user clicks the "Cancel" button, the operation is canceled.
Problem:
After the user clicks the "Cancel" button and the popup alert closes, no rows in the ADG can be dragged. I've discovered that after sorting the ADG, by clicking on a column header, the user can begin dragging rows again.
Code: (changed from original post)

Thanks in advance for all helpful suggestions.
Have you tried running the validateNow() method on the ADG after the cancel event?
Here is some more information on the validateNow() method.
Why you need to know about validateNow...
I really do think this is what you're looking for! Please let us know if that is the case...
Try refreshing the data bindings on the datagrid using executeBindings and/or invalidateDisplayList in the enclosing control.
To be honest this sounds a bit like a bug. Have you posted this on flexcoders? The Adobe guys hang out on there (probably here too, but definitely there)
Hang on... just spotted that between the drop event and the cancel button of the popup there is an asynchronous web service call which appears to be handled by GetParticipantOrderInformation. Is that correct?
If yes, then have you tried offering a simpler dialog for Cancel before you do that? I wonder whether the combination of layers of events is causing a problem.
I didn't have any success with refreshing the data bindings on the datagrid via the executeBindings and invalidateDisplayList methods. I also didn't have any luck by showing the confirmation alert before making the webservice call. In fact, I discovered that making the webservice call was completely unnecessary and removed it. So now the code flows like this:
Drag/drop ADG row onto trash icon.
Display confirmation Alert box.
If user clicked "Cancel" button, redisplay the ADG.
But the same problem persists. I'll update the Code section with the latest code.
Here's an idea:
- Just before you create the alert window, stop the DragEvent
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
store the event so we can resume if the user clicks the Yes button
queuedEvent = event as DragEvent;
show the alert window
if the user clicks the yes button, resume the queued event
dispatchEvent(queuedEvent);
DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.NONE);
