Data from entity framework displayed in javascript/Jquery dialog - javascript

I have a problem, and looking for a solution for 2 days
Target : Create/edit client... in HTML build a dialog with and asp fields with clientIDMode static
<div id="divDialog" runat="server" clientidmode="Static" style="display: none;">
<div class="DialogFields">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Firstname"></asp:Label>
<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="tbxFirstName" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static"></asp:TextBox>
</div>
...
In script
$("#btnShowDialog").click(function () {
openDialog();
});
function openDialog() {
$("#divDialog").dialog('open');
$("#divDialog").parent().appendTo($("form:first"));
}
When I click the button btnShowDialog it works fine... But
Beneath it I have a gridview within it a edit button (asp:Linkbutton) with a event to the codebehind it looks like:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="Edit" OnCommand="Edit_Click" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("RelationID") %>'
runat="server"><img src="../images/Edit-item.png" alt="Edit" /></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
In codebehind take the parameter from commandargument and fire LoadInfo (specific data to all the fields in de dialog).
LoadInfo(e.CommandArgument != null ? int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString()) : -1);
but no way I get the dialog open.
I tried
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Popup", "openDialog();", true);
and
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.GetType(), "script", "openDialog();", true);
after this LoadInfo, push btnShowDialog button and it opens the dialog and all data perfect in place.
Also tried the other way around as Directly to Jquery function, get all data loaded and open the dialog. 2 problems, loading in codebehind was not even started before the dialog opens. and I only can get a static function in the codebehind.
A lot of ground to cover for me, but can any body help me out (even for a part).
...Thanx

If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to fire some client scripts (openDialog) from the server side, but they wont fire?
Try placing your page in an update panel, lets assume that we name the update panel "MyUpdatePanel". And then refer to the update panel like this:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(MyUpdatePanel, MyUpdatePanel.GetType(), "MyUpdatePanelScript", "openDialog();", true);

Asp.net repeater based Modal with ContentTemplate needs eval passed to parameter

I believe a few friends and I have coded each other into a bit of a corner. Here's what's happening: We have an aspx page building a table of Entries using a repeater, and each row has its respective EntryID. Each row has a link to a modal that displays more detailed information, which we create on the fly with a div template and an eval('EntryID') on the repeater.
The problem now is we have a ContentTemplate we use with an UpdatePanel for a series of LinkButton presses the user can follow to alter the Entry. The issue is that we pass all of the information for the Modal details via a Javascript call that opens the modal, and I need to somehow get this information to the code behind for the LinkButton's onclick call.
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="StatusUpdatePanel" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlStatus" runat="server">
<asp:Panel ID="pnlStatusMain" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="lblStatusText" runat="server" Text="Our validator returned a yellow status for this entry"></asp:Label>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnChangeStatusToGreen" runat="server" OnClick="ChangeStatusToGreen_Click">Change status to green</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlStatusConfirm" runat="server" CssClass="hideDiv">
Are you sure?<br />
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnCancelChangeStatus" runat="server" OnClick="CancelChangeStatus_Click" CssClass="grayText">Cancel</asp:LinkButton>
|
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnProceedChangeStatus" runat="server" OnClick="ProceedChangeStatus_Click" CommandArgument="">Yes, proceed</asp:LinkButton>
</asp:Panel>
</asp:Panel>
</asp:Panel>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
The link in question being lnkbtnProceedChangeStatus.
The rest of the modal is template divs and tables that we use the Javascript call to populate with the appropriate information using html inserts. I'm thinking some sort of post back, but am not sure what would be the best way to go about it. Any ideas?

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>

Cannot call modal popup of master page in child page

I am using a modal popup for to display login box. The modal popup is in the master page and associated with a LogIn link therein. Now I want to call the same modal popup in a child page using a different link button. The modal popup can be called by the LogIn link of master page but I want to add this second control (linkButton) in child page, which can call the modalpop of master page.
I tried this in child page:
function LogIn2()
{
$find("programmaticModalPopupBehavior").show();
}
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" OnClientClick="LogIn2">Log in</asp:LinkButton>
Reference: multiple TargetControls for the ModalPopup
How to call the functional modal popup of master page from a control in child page??
Update:
This is in masterpage:
<ajax:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="linkLog" CancelControlID="linkClose" BackgroundCssClass="cssModal" PopupControlID="panelPopUp" BehaviorID="programmaticModalPopupBehavior" PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDrag"></ajax:ModalPopupExtender>
Add an OnClientClick for the LinkButton, like this:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text="Login 2" OnClientClick="return LogIn2()" ...>
Put the JavaScript function in your master page, and after showing the popup, have the method return false to prevent the LinkButton from doing a postback:
function LogIn2()
{
$find("<%=ModalPopupExtender1.UniqueID%>").show();
return false;
}
As an alternative, you may also add return false to the OnClientClick of the LinkButton, after the LogIn2 function has executed, like this:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text="Login 2" OnClientClick="LogIn2();return false;" ...>
I m not sure about this but let me confirm are you using the control of ajax like given below
<asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="ImageUploaderEx" runat="server" BehaviorID="ImageUploaderBID" TargetControlID="Link Name" CancelControlID="Cancel" PopupControlID="Panel to be open" OnCancelScript="hideUploader()"></asp:ModalPopupExtender>
If Yes then you can use this same modal with a different name, If this doesnt work let me know I will try my best
try this if it works
((ModalPopupExtender)Page.Master.FindControl("ModalPopupExtender1")).Show();
and add this as well
using AjaxControlToolkit;

Multiple ModalPopupExtenders on one page, each with javascript

Hello all gurus in the area of ASP.NET AJAX and JavaScript!
Here's the deal: I have a user control (ascx) that currently contains a help Button and a ModalPopupExtender showing a Panel. The idea is that the user clicks the button and the help info is presented in a modal popup on top of the page, with another button to close it.
The help info can very well be larger than the window, so I have to resize the modal popup on show. When the control is coded as below, the Panel is resized initially, however; if the parent page has a validation error and is resent to the client, the javascript on top never executes.
Here's the control markup:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Adjust for popup y = 130 and a small gap.
var myAdjustedHeight = getPageHeight() - 150;
if (document.getElementById('<% =pnlPopUp.ClientID %>')) {
document.getElementById('<% =pnlPopUp.ClientID %>').style.height = myAdjustedHeight;
document.getElementById('<% =pnlScroll.ClientID %>').style.height = myAdjustedHeight - 20;
}
</script>
<asp:button id="btnHelp" runat="server" text="Help" />
<asp:updatepanel id="upPopUp" runat="server">
<contenttemplate>
<asp:panel id="pnlPopUp" runat="server" width="600">
<div class="header" style="float: left;">
Help
</div>
<asp:button id="btnClose" runat="server" text="Close" style="float: right; padding-bottom: 3px;" />
<asp:panel id="pnlScroll" runat="server" scrollbars="Vertical" style="clear: both;">
<asp:gridview id="grv" runat="server" autogeneratecolumns="true" showheader="false" gridlines="None" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
</asp:gridview>
</asp:panel>
</asp:panel>
</contenttemplate>
</asp:updatepanel>
<ajaxtoolkit:modalpopupextender id="popUpExtender"
runat="server" backgroundcssclass="modalBackground" okcontrolid="btnClose"
targetcontrolid="btnHelp" popupcontrolid="pnlPopUp" x="100" y="130" />
(The GridView is filled with data in the Page_Load using a predefined DataSet in a basic fashion.)
I have tried to add this:
function pageLoad() {
document.getElementById('<% =popUpExtender.ClientID %>').add_shown(adjustHeight);
}
(where adjustHeight() is a function containing the code from the top) but when it fires I get null back for the ModalPopupExtender - and indeed it never seems to be included into the markup sent down the wire.
BTW, I need to add at least two instances of this help button to present help info for several elements on the page. Hence, I can't use the BehaviorID property of the ModalPopupExtender, since it is piped straight out to the page and I get an id collision.
So, how do I fix this? Am I to move the ModalPopupExtender to the Page or can I solve this within the ascx control?
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, I would appreciate it.
Use this in your pageLoad:
$find('<% =popUpExtender.ClientID %>');
add_shown wouldn't exist for the HTML element, which document.getElementById returns.

How can I defer loading UpdatePanel content until after the page renders?

Old hand at ASP.NET, new to the UpdatePanel. I have a reporting page which executes a fairly length SQL query... takes about 10 seconds right now. What I would like to do is have my page fully render, with some placeholder text (Loading...) and then have the UpdatePanel kick off the actual time-consuming reporting process and render the report when it's done.
So... my theory is to use RegisterStartupScript() to kick this off and drop the string from GetPostBackEventReference() to trigger the UpdatePanel update. Some problems crop up:
1) Can I actually use GetPostBackEventReference w/ the UpdatePanel or do I need to trigger it some other way? Use this method on a button inside the Update Panel?
2) What event gets triggered when the postback reference is the UpdatePanel? It's not clear to me. I've got to call my databinding code somewhere! Again, maybe I need to use a button inside?
I had to do something very similar recently, here's how i did it (right or wrong):
The trick is a "Hidden Async Postback Trigger".
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upFacebookImage" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<!-- Your updatepanel content -->
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="hiddenAsyncTrigger" EventName="Click" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:Button ID="hiddenAsyncTrigger" runat="server" Text="AsyncUpdate" style="display:none;" />
Then from JavaScript, whenever you want to trigger the async postback, you do this:
__doPostBack('<%= hiddenAsyncTrigger.ClientID %>', 'OnClick');
In my example, i needed to trigger an async postback from a particular JS event. But you could attach it to doc ready.
I seem to remember trying #Marko Ivanovski's way, but for some reason it didn't work. I think you need to specify a "postback-able" control (ie a button) to trigger the postback.
HTH.
Updating this with my solution, I pieced together mostly from the first answer above.
I need my page to load, then then start loading content for my update panel. The panel calls some webservices and we don't want the whole page to crash in the event that the remote server doesn't respond. We don't want the wait either.
My HTML:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="udpCheckout" runat="server" UpdateMode="Always">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Image ID="imgSpinner" runat="server" Visible="true" ImageUrl="~/images/ajax-loader.gif" />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblWait" runat="server" Visible="true" Text="Please wait..."></asp:Label>
<asp:Button ID="hiddenAsyncTrigger" runat="server" Text="AsyncUpdate" style="display:none;" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="hiddenAsyncTrigger" EventName="Click" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
My Code behind snippets:
In page_load:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me.Page, Me.Page.GetType, "LoadUpdate", GetPostBackEventReference(hiddenAsyncTrigger, String.Empty), True)
And the button handler:
Sub LoadUpdatePanels(ByVal o As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles hiddenAsyncTrigger.Click
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) 'wait 5 seconds so I can see the page change
imgSpinner.Visible = False
lblWait.Text = "Content is now loaded."
'udpCheckout.Update()
End Sub
This was my test to see if I could get it working. Now to replace all of this with the real code!
Try something like this (not tested).
Set the UpdateMode of the UpdatePanel to Conditional.
Add this to your <head> section:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = __doPostBack('UpdatePanel1', ''); // Replace UpdatePanel1 with the ID of your UpdatePanel
</script>
Simplifying RPM1984's very helpful earlier answer (thanks ;)) and showing some tweaks & a little more of the surrounding detail that I found necessary:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upFacebookImage" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="PlaceHolderMediaPrompts" />
<asp:Button ID="hiddenAsyncTrigger" runat="server" Text="AsyncUpdate" OnClick="WasPage_Load" style="display:none;" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Note:
The hidden button's vital OnClick= parameter, this is what specifies the server function to call!
No trigger clause or triggers in the Update-panel, I am using the child controls which are automatically triggers - specifically the button Click event.
And to trigger it from client-side Javascript you can use:
document.getElementById("hiddenAsyncTrigger").click‌​();
However, I found it necessary to prevent this being called on subsequent page loads (as it caused unnecessary page load looping & consequent flicker). See the neat little IsPostBack() check below :)
e.g. To invoke this after page load (as per the original question), I just added a call to invoke the above line of code as the onload-parameter to the main Body-tag thus:
<body onload="DoPostLoad();">
...
<script type="text/javascript">
function DoPostLoad()
{
if ( IsPostBack() != true ) // ***This is NEW and ESSENTIAL! ***
document.getElementById("hiddenAsyncTrigger").click();
}
function IsPostBack() { // Ref. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26978112/execute-javascript-only-on-page-load-not-postback-sharepoint
var ret = '<%= Page.IsPostBack%>' == 'True';
return ret;
}
. . .
</script>
</body>
