HtmlInputImage and Postback event

Alex

In my Asp.net application, I have come across a situation where I cannot prevent a postback using the HtmlInputImage control. If I use the HtmlInputButton , the post back is not automatic, however with the HtmlInputImage, it appears to be.

Add this to your aspx test app and set a breakpoint in your Page_Load.
<input type="button" id="TheButton" value="GO"/>
<input type="image" id="TheImage"/>

When you click on the "TheButton" - no postback occurs. When you click on "TheImage" - a postback occurs. Can someone help me stop the postback for the HtmlInputImage?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex

U r right the image click is posting the page to the server. It seems some browser setting is causing the page to post on image click.

I did a workaround by putting onclick="return false;" in the input image control and it no longer submits the page to the server.

<input type="image" id="TheImage" onclick="return false;" />

Thanks for the help. Adding return false; to my onclick even solved this issue.

Solution: Raising an Event Handler Postback on Parent Window From Popup Child Window Dialog Box

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed.

btnSubmit.click not firing when another control does postback

by: walesboy | last post by:

greetings - I have a btnSubmit button with a Handles btnSubmit.click which works great if all the user does is click that button. But, if the user ALSO changes a text box on the page (which has it's own event and autopostback=true) before clicking submit then it fires the text box event but never fires the btnSubmit event. (I follow it in the trace). Surely both event handlers should be fired? Any hints on identifying what I

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
