In my application i just want to alert the value in the text box using javascript .
aspx page code
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("hi");
alert(document.getElementById('<%=textbox1.ClientID%>').value);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox1" Text="asdsad">
</asp:TextBox>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I only get alert 'hi' ..after that i get an error " object required" . whats the reason?
Your code is running before the element has been displayed on the screen. Try -
window.onload = function() {
alert("hi");
alert(document.getElementById('<%=textbox1.ClientID%>').value);
}
Or move your script to the bottom of the page as suggested by Tejs in the comments below.
The page is not loaded yet. You have to put the code in a function and then trigger with
onload=yourfunction;
Please change the script location, put the script code on bottom of the page.Just After the complete with form tag.
The ID you are trying to get is a server side id and not the html id of the element, if you checked using firebug you will notice that the id has loads of extra letters and numbers inserted by asp.net, i'd recommend using jquery instead to walk into the dom to select the specific element.
You could also add a name and getByName.

I have the following Web Form in my ASP.NET Website
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" ValidateRequest="false" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetTextBoxValues() {
TextBox1.value = "Textbox can be set without calling document.getElementById()";
TextBox2.value = "Textbox can be set without calling document.getElementById()";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Height="210px" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="725px"></asp:TextBox>
<br/>
<textarea rows="4" cols="50" id="TextBox2" runat="server" />
<br/>
<button onclick="SetTextBoxValues()">Set Text Box Value</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The page works as I can click the button and set values in both TextBox1 and Textbox2. What I don't understand is the way the Textbox value is set in the javascript function.
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetTextBoxValues() {
TextBox1.value = "Textbox can be set without calling document.getElementById()";
TextBox2.value = "Textbox can be set without calling document.getElementById()";
}
Normally we need to use the following JS code:
document.getElementById('<%=txtTextBox.ClientID %>').value = "Some values";
But it looks like we can set the value without the use of document.getElementById(). May I know why it is working this way? Is this a valid way of setting textbox value using javascript?
You use component "runat server" so you should use code behing:
TextBox2.Text = yourvalue;
And create a method server side to manage your inputs.
I think it's like this post:
textarea control, asp.net c#
quoting answer provided as comment from ConnorsFan.
It does work, indeed. I think the explanation is given here:

I have the fallowing code that is working but my question is how do you get to pass the value of the textbox every time you type on the textbox? Maybe Using Javascript or JQuery ? If anyone could help me it would be great.

Use AJAX(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML).
AJAX is the art of exchanging data with a server, and updating parts of a web page - without reloading the whole page.
AJAX was invented for this feature only.
Google ajax autocomplete textbox and you will find what i am talking about.
i have a very simple asp.net code but my code doesnt make any sense and after run there would be nothing happen .
I'm using external java script file and trying to run my Script from my asp page and in the button object .
Its my asp code :
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="test.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication2.test" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head ">
<title></title>
<script src="Script/Script_Validate.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server" >
<div>
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="aaaaaa" OnClientClick="valid();" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Its my JS's file content :
function valid()
{
alert("Hello! I am an alert box!!");
}
please help .
Your code works for me. Do you definitely have a "Script" folder? Is the name of the file correct? Do you have JavaScript enabled on your browser?
The only problem I can see with your code is your head tag has a single quotation mark ("). Maybe this should be runat="server"?
I am displaying details of customers in a table format, there is an edit button if i click on that button the details of the customers must slide up and get hidden and a new div must slide up in place of the previous one so as to give the user a textbox to edit the details. How that can be achieved through jquery.. thanks

This is easily done in Javascript using jQuery.
In the button click even handler function you write code which:
1. Use jQuery slide up animation to slide the div containing customer details.
2. Use jQuery slide down animation to slide a div containing a textbox to edit the detail.
I am wondering why the following code does not create two of my activex object. When the object tag is directly in the HTML it works fine, but for the life of me I can't dynamically create the object item. Is this a security issue or something? I am finding a difficult time finding documentation on this problem.
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="InkWebForm._Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script language="javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var s = '<OBJECT id="inkImage" classid="InkControls.dll#InkControls.ResizableInk" VIEWASTEXT></OBJECT>';
document.getElementById("inkHolder").innerHTML = s;
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<!-- This one gets created -->
<OBJECT id="inkImage2" classid="InkControls.dll#InkControls.ResizableInk" VIEWASTEXT>
</OBJECT>
<!-- this one should get inserted but never gets created -->
<div id="inkHolder"></div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Well when I explore the dom the object explorer does show the item but IE renders a little square box and not the activex control.
Here goes the second attempt based on casablanca's suggestion. I think there might be a security issue going on here as per your suggestion this should work but does not. Same problem.
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="InkWebForm._Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<script language="javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var obj = document.createElement('object');
obj.setAttribute('id', 'inkImage');
obj.setAttribute('classid', 'InkControls.dll#InkControls.ResizableInk');
document.getElementById('inkHolder').appendChild(obj);
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<OBJECT id="inkImage2" classid="InkControls.dll#InkControls.ResizableInk">
</OBJECT>
<div id="inkHolder"></div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
You shouldn't be using innerHTML to create new elements. If you use document.createElement then it should work fine:
var obj = document.createElement('object');
// set object properties here
document.getElementById('inkHolder').appendChild(obj);
Edit:
I just noticed that the objects you are dealing with are ASP server-side objects, which are instantiated on the server rather than on the client. In this case, JavaScript won't help you since it's executed on the client. You could look at the HTML source in your browser to see exactly what code is generated by ASP and if you replicate that in JavaScript, it might work.
