Enable Button on Textbox/combobox/RadDatePicker Change using JavaScript - javascript

In an asp.net form, I have some textboxes, Comboboxes, RadDatepickers,RadComboBoxes textbox and an update button. I want that whenever the user makes a change in any of the fields, the button will be enabled.
To solve this issue, I assigned a css calss to each of them:
<asp:TextBox ID="TxtRequestedQuantityTo" runat="server" CssClass="UpdateCSS"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:DropDownList ID="CmbFuelType" runat="server" CssClass="UpdateCSS"></asp:DropDownList>
<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="DatDeliveryDateETS" Runat="server" CssClass="UpdateCSS"> </telerik:RadDatePicker>
and used below javascript code :
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#BtnUpdate").attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$("input.UpdateCSS").keyup(function () {
$("#BtnUpdate").removeAttr('disabled');
});
$("input.UpdateCSS").change(function () {
$("#BtnUpdate").removeAttr("disabled");
});
it's working fine with textbox but not with combobox and RadDatePicker.

asp controls will not render the element with the same ID as you're expecting..
you'll have to use $("#<%= BtnUpdate.ClientID %>")
OR
you can set ClientIDMode="Static" within each asp control to prevent the ID from changing

OnClientClick not triggering on first click on button after postback

I have an ASP button. On click of it I am opening a pop-up after doing some validations using JavaScript.
<asp:Button ID="btnHistory" runat="server" Text="History" Enabled="true" Width="100pt" OnClientClick="ShowHistoryPopup()" meta:resourcekey="btnHistory" OnInit="btnHistory_Init"/>
function ShowHistoryPopup() {
var age = $get("<%= txtSomeTextBox.ClientID %>");
var str = "";
if (Validate(age)) {
str = 'ClService.aspx?id=' + 'Null,' + age.value;
window.open(str);
}
else {
return false;
}
}
I have a radio button. Based on selected index I need to enable disable the History button. Radio button has 3 options and on 3rd option page postback happens. I need to keep the button enable on 1 st option only. I have implemented this logic with the help of Java Script and some code on OnPreRender event(for post back case).
Now the problem I am facing is, if I select option 1 or 2 and click History button, OnClientCLick event is triggering. But if I select option 3(postback) and then navigate back to option 1, onClientCLick is NOT triggering for the very first time. But on clicking the History button 2nd time its working fine. Anyone having suggestions or solution for this problem?
If I understand your problem I think what's happening is you are posting back after the History Button click which isn't what you want (as there's no click handler). Using this code works for me:
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioButton1" runat="server" GroupName="Radio1" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioButton2" runat="server" GroupName="Radio1" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioButton3" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" GroupName="Radio1" />
<asp:Button ID="btnHistory" runat="server" Text="History" Enabled="true" Width="100pt" OnClientClick="ShowHistoryPopup();return false;" meta:resourcekey="btnHistory" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowHistoryPopup() {
alert("Here");
}
</script>
All I've added is the return false; after ShowHistoryPopup();
Also, I've used alert here for the purposes of demo, in reality we should really be using console.log('Show my message');

Javascript-error on finding object

im stuck with Javascript in Asp.net...
I made a TextBox named tbValidFrom and another named tbValidTo.
I also made two ModalPopups.
Then i try to open the ModalPopupExtenders when the TextBoxes get focus:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#tbValidTo').focus(function () {
$find('ModalPopupExtenderNV1').show();
})
$('#tbValidFrom').focus(function () {
$find('ModalPopupExtenderNV2').show();
})
</script>
but it doesnt finds tbValidTo or ModalPopUpExtender ?
Runtime-Error in Microsoft JScript: Object expected
Here is one of the two ModalPopupExtenders and TextBoxes:
<asp:TextBox ID="tbValidFrom" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanelNV2" runat="server" RenderMode="Inline" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtenderNV2" runat="server" TargetControlID="HiddenField6"
PopupControlID="PanelNewVersion" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" BehaviorID="ModalPopupExtenderNV2"
Enabled="True" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField6" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate
</asp:UpdatePanel>
The same as above is with the other ModalPopupExtender and TextBox...
Help would be really nice.
Thanks
Edit: Yes i use a masterpage!
Fails where it is marked yellow.
your jQuery syntax is wrong.
change your script to:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#tbValidTo').focus(function () {
$(this).find('#<%=ModalPopupExtenderNV1.ClientID%>').show();
});
$('#tbValidFrom').focus(function () {
$(this).find('#<%=ModalPopupExtenderNV2.ClientID%>').show();
})
</script>
elements that has runat="server" will eventually end with a different ID than you entered in the aspx file.
i used the <%= %> to get the 'final' id.
hope that helps
Seeing that markup there is two chances for the issues.
With the ModalPopupExtender.
Where you have given the panel "PanelNewVersion" . Seems like its missing in the markup.
In the Javascript code. If you want to hide that Popup, give the name of the panel. NOt the name of the ModalPopupextender.
Also you have given an update panel there in page, so you can easily handle the modalpopup in any srever side event of your textbox.
Otherwise, if you want to use the Modal popup ijn client side, use jQuery Modalpopup. That will the better option.
ASP.NET Can modify the ID's of elements, if you use a Masterpage the element id's will be modified to something like the following : ctl001_ContentPlaceHolder1_tbValidFrom
To get around this ASP.NET modification of your elements you can use ASP.NET Inline Expressions to get the rendered ID from the object.
See the answer to the following question for more information on ASP.NET Inline Expressions
You can look at changing the Client ID Mode (The way ASP.NET Modifies IDs when the page is rendered) here :
ASP.NET Client ID Modes
EDIT :
The AjaxControlToolkit's ModalPopupExtender is not rendered on the page as a html element, therefore you cannot find this item using the ClientID of the ModalPopupExtender.
You must use the BehaviourID to call the show function on.
The below code should work correctly :
$('#<%= tbValidTo.ClientID %>').focus(function () {
$find('ModalPopupExtenderNV1').show();
})
$('#<%= tbValidFrom.ClientID %>').focus(function () {
$find('ModalPopupExtenderNV2').show();
});
This will find the textbox object using the ASP.NET Inline expressions to find the client ID and will then find the behaviour ID and execute the Show method.
Example Markup :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#<%= tbValidFrom.ClientID %>').focus(function () {
$find('ModalPopupExtenderNV2').show();
});
});
</script>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbValidFrom" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanelNV2" runat="server" RenderMode="Inline" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<cc1:modalpopupextender id="ModalPopupExtenderNV2" runat="server" targetcontrolid="HiddenField6"
popupcontrolid="PanelNewVersion" backgroundcssclass="modalBackground" behaviorid="ModalPopupExtenderNV2"
enabled="True" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField6" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:Panel ID="PanelNewVersion" runat="server">
testing panel
</asp:Panel>

css class applying after double-click on the asp.net button

i want to apply a class on a asp.net label when validation fails, everything is working fine but it is requiring double-click to apply the class. First click to show the error message of the required field validator and second click applies the class. I need it in one click. Please help
<script>
function Validate()
{
//for textbox
if ($('#<% =RequiredFieldValidator1.ClientID %>').css('visibility') == 'visible')
{
$('#<% =Label1.ClientID %>').addClass('error');
}
else
{
$('#<% =Label1.ClientID %>').removeClass('error');
}
}
</script>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="lbl" Text="Name"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" OnClientClick="Validate()"
Text="Submit" ValidationGroup="txt" />
You need to call your Validate() function directly on the page load.
The code is currently doing exactly what you asked it to do, when the validator is visible(after first click), and button is clicked, change color.
Add code like this to call the function onload
window.onload = Validate();

Creating a Button Click Event and Validating TextBoxes using Javascript

I am having so much trouble with this. I have looked everywhere so I hope someone can either explain to me how to do this or show me. Here's my problem:
I have a DataGrid filled with DataBound Items (ItemTemplate) which was created using ASP.Net.
My reason for the ItemTemplates over a regular DataBound field is to enable the Edit Mode of the DataGrid. In my ItemTemplates, I have labels to display the data and two option buttons (Edit/Delete). I've got the buttons working in the code behind (C#).
Edit places the DataGrid in Edit Mode. In the EditItemTemplates I've got DropDownLists, TextBoxes, and a Save button in place of the Edit button.
The Save button also works with the code I've written for it. All-in-all, the DataGrid works beautifully and displays everything neatly. However, there is one final job I want the Save button to do: I want it to check the TextBoxes and validate that the values entered match the criteria I have set (keep in mind that these are in EditItemTemplates).
I have Javascript already written that will check for validation. I want a modal window (that I have already set up) to display and I want the CSS of the TextBoxes in question to change.
I want to do this using Javascript but my problem is that I can't check for the Save button to create the Click event and I can't 'locate' the TextBoxes to validate them. Is there a way I can 'find' those elements while the DataGrid is in Edit Mode?
Here's a small bit of the code used to create the DataGrid if it helps:
<asp:DataGrid ID="dgCamsizer" CssClass="data" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
GridLines="None" OnItemCommand="dgCamsizer_ItemCommand" ShowHeader="true">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderStyle-CssClass="infoHeaderDG">
<HeaderTemplate>
Operator</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Operator" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Operator") %>'
runat="server" /></ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="EditOper" Width="40px" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Operator") %>'
runat="server"></asp:TextBox></EditItemTemplate>
<HeaderStyle CssClass="infoHeaderDG"></HeaderStyle>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderStyle-CssClass="infoHeaderDG">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="Edit" Text="Edit" CommandName="Edit" runat="server" /></ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="Save" Text="Save" CommandName="Save" runat="server" /></EditItemTemplate>
<HeaderStyle CssClass="infoHeaderDG"></HeaderStyle>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
Perhaps I should re-phase my question: I managed to 'find' the TextBoxes thanks to Zetlen. I've also managed to get the values. Now... How do I use those values to test for validation?
Here is the code I used to get the values:
$("#<%=dgCamsizer.ClientID %> :text").each(function () {
alert($(this).val());
});
ASP.NET webforms are hard to work with in JavaScript, because the IDs of your HTML elements change during the page lifecycle! The input you're calling "EditOper" will get an HTML ID of something like "dgCamSizer_ctl102_EditOper". One thing you can do is collect these elements on pageload in a cache of DOM element references. I recommend using jQuery or a similar DOM querying library.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var $editorElms = {},
idSeparator = "_"; // the underscore is ASP.NET's default ID separator, but this can be changed if you wish with the IDSeparator property.
$('#dgCamSizer input').each(function() {
$editorElms[this.id.split('_').pop()] = $(this);
});
// now you can access every input using the $editorElms hash.
// e.g.
function someValidationRoutine() {
if (!$editorElms.EditOper.val()) {
someErrorDisplayer("EditOper must not be blank.");
return false;
}
}
})
</script>
And, again using jQuery, the Save button shouldn't be too tough to find.
var $saveButton = $('#dgCamSizer :submit[value=Save]');
So you can bind the event that way:
$saveButton.click(function(e) {
if (!someValidationRoutine()) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
This is not the most high-performance solution--selectors of that complexity are always a bit slower. But it gets the job done without messing too much with the DataGrid.
So I managed to solve my own problems and answer my own question. I was able to get the id's of all of the TextBoxes and I even placed them into an array to be used for my validations. Here's what I used to do all of this:
var i = 0;
var data = [];
$("#<%=dgCamsizer.ClientID %> :text").each(function () {
data[i] = $(this).attr("id");
i++;
});

Populate a TextBox from a DropDownList selection ASP.NET/Javascript

I have a DDL and ASP.NET Textbox. I would like to populate the text box with the option I choose from the DDL. I need this to be instant and not use postbacks so it would seem JavaScript would be the obvious choice here. I have done quite a bit of searching but everything I have found seems to be for standard HTML (Selects and Inputs) and these do not appear to work with ASP objects:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="DDLSalesPerson" DataValueField="keyid" DataTextField="FullName" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="txtSalesPerson" />
My DDL is populated from SQL in the code-behind page.
Can somebody assist with the appropriate code I should use? Thanks.
ASP.Net controls render as standard HTML elements on the browser. In script, you can get a reference to them by using the ClientID property of the ASP.Net control.
Put this in a script block in your aspx:
var ddl = document.getElementById('<%=DDLSalesPerson.ClientID %>');
var textBox = document.getElementById('<%= txtSalesPerson.ClientID%>');
Now you have references to the DOM objects for the select and input elements that the ASP.Net controls rendered and you can use the techniques you've already learned on the HTML elements.
Additional info
You need to add an onchange attribute to your DropDownList control as such:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="DDLSalesPerson" DataValueField="keyid" onchange="ddlChange();" DataTextField="FullName" />
and then put this script block in your aspx
<script type="text/javascript">
function ddlChange()
{
var ddl = document.getElementById('<%=DDLSalesPerson.ClientID %>');
var textBox = document.getElementById('<%= txtSalesPerson.ClientID%>');
textBox.value = ddl.options[ddl.selectedIndex].text;
}
</script>
As you change the dropdown list, you'll see the textbox update. Tested in IE and Chrome.
Since you've pointed out that you're a JavaScript beginner, may i suggest you use an updatepanel control. An updatepanel allows you to execute server code without refreshing the page. Simply place the dropdownList and the textbox in the same updatepanel or in two separate updatepanels and write the code for the textbox to update based on the dropdownlist selection. Make sure to set the dropdownlist to do autopostback.
The asp markup is as follows:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlList" runat="server"
AutoPostBack="True">
<asp:ListItem>-select-</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>option 1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>option 2</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtTextBox" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
The codebehind in vb is as follows:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If ddlList.Text <> "-select-" then
txtTextBox.Text = ddlList.text
End If
End Sub
If you're new to JavaScript, use the jQuery library (simply provide references to the CDN-hosted jQUery files at google.com) and then you can use the following code:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$("#DDLSalesPerson").change(function () {
$("#txtSalesPerson").val($(this).val());
});
</script>
