VB has a function InputBox() that will prompt the user to enter a single value, then click OK.
Is there a parallel functionality in ASP.NET, that will get the browser to pop up some kind of input box to return a single value?
If not, how do you recommend I achieve this effect?
You can do this in JavaScript
var result = prompt("Question", "Default text");
document.getElementById("HiddenInputBox").value = result;
document.HiddenForm.submit();
But most web apps seem to use of screen forms and simulated modal dialogs (fade and disable rest of screen)
jQuery is your friend for this, try simplemodal
For more functionality, check out the asp.net ajax control toolkit, and specifically the modal popup box control.

Yes - use the prompt() javascript function.
var x = prompt("enter a value");

We are investigation option of replacing JavaFx WebView with JxBrowser and the following code snippet worked fine with WebView:
((HTMLInputElementImpl)document.getElementById("username")).setValueForUser("username");
((HTMLInputElementImpl)document.getElementById("password")).setValueForUser("password");
loginButton.click();
the magic was done by setValueForUser, using standard setValue("") does not work as form submit/action is disabled unless someone actually clicked to the fields.
Unfortunately I did not find correct way to implement the same logic with JxBrowser:
InputElement username = (InputElement) document.findElement(By.id("username"));
username.setValue("username");
username.click();
InputElement password = (InputElement) document.findElement(By.id("password"));
password.setValue("password");
password.click();
loginButton.click(); // or form.submit()
username.click() did not help.
I'm thinking about simulating/sending mouse events to browser view, but it will be messy solution.
So it there setValueForUser alternative in JxBrowser?
Thanks,

I have a system and I had a problem today, when the user double-click on button control and the system process the operation twice.
I found a solution with this code on the button:
OnClientClick = "this.disabled = true; this.value = 'submiting ...';" UseSubmitBehavior = "false"
However, I have several pages in the system, with several buttons ... is there any way to set these attributes to all the buttons of the application?
Thank you!
What about using a clientSide approach by using JQuery and disabling all Submit controls (jsfiddle)
$(document).ready(function () {
$(' :submit').click(function (event) {
$(this).attr("disabled","true");
});
});
I am quite new to JQuery so if there are any better solutions or I am completly wrong, pls let me know!
I'm not sure, but it seems that it is possible through skin file.
You can create a custom button. Here you have example how to create button that displays confirm window on client click. Almost what you wan't.
http://dhavalupadhyaya.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/creating-custom-controls-in-asp-net/
Than you would have to change all the asp:Buttons on every page to someTag:YourButton. Maybe simple Find/Replace. But I think there is possibility to configure in web.config so that ASP.NET uses someTag:YourButton everytime it sees asp:Button. But can't find now how to do it.
I'm trying to duplicate the behaviour of the "Share on Facebook" button from Youtube. Basically, inside a Flex app I'll have a button and when I click it I want a popup that enables me to post something on the wall.
While it is possible to make a call to javascript to open the pop-up I want to be able to set the images and the text of my posting.
Do you know how I could set the images or text as a paramter to the sharer window?
Thank you!
This is fairly straightforward to do. Youtube uses the Facebook API which pops up a new window (Info on Facebook sharer API).
To do this in flex,
Create a button that onClick will call a javascript method, ExternalInterface.call("fbLink", "www.yahoo.com");
In your HTML file (most likely index.template.html) add the JavaScript method, fbLink which does the following:
function fbLink(url) {
window.popup("http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=" + url, {height:440, width:620, scrollbars:true})
}
Now when a user clicks on the button they will be sharing the link "yahoo.com" with facebook account.
as I understood you asking for some help in accessing js popup in html page of facebook share button, so you should use ExternalInterface in this casa and access needed DOM node using getElementById function in your js interface.
In other case I want propose you to read another one way http://www.riaxe.com/blog/flex/publish-into-facebook-wall-from-flex/
It seems that you want to have a button on the flash application and once clicked it opens the facebook page that shares the video/image that pertains to the clicked button. What you want to do is simply create a button that on click opens a new website to facebook using their share api which has the following format:
var facebookShare:String = "http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=' + encodedVideoLink + '&t='+ encodedVideoText";
Where the u parameter stands for the link that you wish to share, and the t parameter stands for the title of the piece that you want to share, whether it be a picture or video.
You want to add an event listener on MouseEvent.CLICK that has as its callback function a method that handles the opening of the facebook page passing the facebookShare variable as shown above. To open another page on your browser you can use this AS3 Class called URLNavigator: http://www.danishmetal.dk/project/source/com/zorked/URLNavigator.as
To sum it up, something along these lines would do:
var facebookShare:String = "http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=' + encodedVideoLink + '&t='+ encodedVideoText";
facebookButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this._goToUrl(facebookShare));
private function _goToUrl(link:String):Function {
var window:String = "_blank",
feats = "",
thisOverlay:Object = this; // to not lose scope when returning a func
return function (e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Opening link to:"+link);
try { URLNavigator.ChangePage(link, window, feats); }
catch (e:Error) { trace("error launching "+link+" in "+window+" with feature set "+feats); }
}
}
I hope that helps. If you have questions regarding the code please let me know.
In my asp.net web app, I create a popup window with a button. When that button is clicked, I want to set the value of an asp:TextBox (id=TextBox1) contained in the parent window. However, it doesn't work like all the examples I've read indicate.
I've tried the following lines of code in my javascript onclick handler:
window.opener.document.getElementById('<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>').value = "abc";
window.opener.document.getElementById("TextBox1").value = "abc";
window.opener.document.getElementById("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_TextBox1").value = "abc";
Only example 3 works. All the stuff I've read indicates that #1 is the preferred method, but I can't seem to make it work at all. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I've tried this in Firefox, Chrome and IE.
Thanks
you need to change a bit when calling your popup code , you have to pass your textbox client id and then you can set its value from popup page without any hard codding.
here is the way :
var txtNameClientObject = '<%= txtName.ClientID %>';
window.open('Child.aspx?txtName='+txtNameClientObject);
and then in popup page you can do it as
opener.document.getElementById('<%= Request["txtName"] %>').value = 'from child';
hope this will be helpful for you.
Thanks
Is this line of JavaScript contained in the markup for the popup window itself? If so, the server-side code for that won't be aware that TextBox1 exists on the server-side code for the parent window, and won't be able to determine its ClientID property. You either need to pass that client ID to the popup window somehow (querystring, cookie, session, whatever) or hard code it. Alternatively, you may be able to put this line of JavaScript in a function on your parent page, and then call something along the lines of window.opener.functionName().
Hai to all,
How can i give alert message with ok and cancel button within dataset function.if ok procced further else return in asp.net .......pls help
You can't show a client-sided message-box without using client-sided script.
It isn't possible. Both a standard browser alert window and a lightboxed one require JavaScript to display.
If you don't want to handcode the JavaScript, you can use the ASP.NET Ajaxtoolkit (http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/ModalPopup/ModalPopup.aspx) which contains a ModelPopup control that handles it for you.
Add an "onclick" attribute to the object.
Page_load(){
object.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:confirm('Are you sure')");
}
something like that.
You could use basic html to create a page that only has a small form in the centre of the page.
This would eliminate javascript.
