Handler happend after pageload? Is this a valid workaround?

The scenario:

I have a button that when clicked sets a cookie value.

On page load, I read this cookie value and write out some specific HTML.

The catch:

It appears that the buttonHandler executes AFTER the page load on the
postback.

As such, my page is 'one refresh' behind. In otherwords, If I hit the button
to set the cookie, when the page loads, it hasn't 'taken' the new setting
yet since it loaded before the cookie was set.

To get around this, after setting the value in the button handler, I then
response.redire ct back to itself. Is this the best way to handle this
problem, or is there a better way to go about this? This method seems to
work just fine, but I'm not sure if I'm committing some huge .net faux pau.

You would be much better off just reading the cookie in your button click
event handler (which, as you note, runs after the page_load). It sure beats
making an extra round-trip to the server.

Oh. Duh. Yea, that makes sense!

That said, I don't think a response.redire ct is a return to the server, is
it? From what I can tell, the redirect happens on the server end since it
happens before the page is fully rendered to be sent back to the browser. I
could be wrong about that, though.

Hi All I have been trying to add a control to the header cell of a datagrid on my ASP.NET page. These controls are defined in the HTML as ASP.NET web controls. They are being added into the header of the datagrid in the "ItemDataBound" method of the grid. However, once, they are added in the grid, i seem to lose the event handler for the same control. Is there anyone who has tried this before and knows why this is hapenning ??

I've been happily using a custom error handler of the following form for a while now: window.onerror = function(Message, URL, Line) { ... } The current case is an intranet application (support for IE 6.x is the only browser requirement) used by a small group of people. The custom error handler presents information about the corporate help desk and allows the user to email the information to the support team.

Note that although this involves SAPI, it is more a question about Timers and event handlers. I wrote a Speech Recognize handler (SAPI), and put some code in it to enable a Timer. It would not do it. If I bring this same code outside this event handler, it works just fine. Is this normal?
