Client script access to server side controls



Does the use of server side controls eg <asp:textbox> preclude the
access to that control by client script? If not, how do you reference
those elements?

Don,
You can access serverside controls via client script using the usual
methods, in most cases. For example, if your server side control name
is "txtProductName ", then you can access the control in Javascript
using document.getEle mentById("txtPr oductName"). When using the
SmartNavigation feature, certain types of client script may not work
properly.

If you place your textbox control inside any databound control like
repeater, datalist or datagrid. Then name and id of the textbox control will
be changed with respect to container element. Hence to access the textbox
control in client side, you need to use its clientid property(server side
property) to get the id of the control to access it in client side.

Ah hah. I was trying to set the text property of the control. Since
that would not work and you guys are all telling me I should be able to
access this object - I tried using the normal value property that you
would use with ah HTML control and that works! Thanks!

Hiya I have a problem with using some client side and server side scripting together in an ASP. I'm using VBScript. What I'm trying to achieve is this - - Page loads up and some server side vbscript reads the database and populates a listbox on the page with the first field from each record in the recordset. This works fine. - User selects an option on the listbox and, using the OnChange, I

Hi, I have an aspx page where some controls are initially disabled by the code-behind 'Page_Load' event. I want these controls to be dynamically enabled when the user checks a checkbox. Because I don't want a post-back, I added some javascript to do this However, using client-side JS, I cannot enable any controls that have been disabled by server-side code. If the control is initially enabled, I can disable/enable it client-side.

Hi, I have a webform with various asp controls on it such as textboxes and dropdownlists. I'm fairly new to asp.net coming from VB6 and am wondering when it's best to use client side events and when it's best to use server side events. For example, if a textbox is to contain a date I want to validate the date when that textbox loses the focus. If the date is not valid I make visible a label next to the textbox telling the user it's

Recently, I was trying to modify an existing aspx page when client-side validation on that page stopped working. I searched this group and the web in general and found that other people have had the same issue. However, none of the suggested fixes solved my particular problem. I tracked down the cause of the problem, which is related to aspx page parser's handling of controls inside html comments. The problem may be quite common and well...

is it possible to write a vb.net code (intended to run on the client-side) that would invoke an instance of IE, have it download a page from a certain URL, and then pre-populate some of the controls on that page, before transferring focus to the browser-page and showing it to the user? (the user would be responsible for submitting the page.)

I asked the question yesterday, but know better how to ask it, today: I'm trying to use the File.Copy method to copy a file from a client to server (.Net web app under IIS ). It looks to me that when I give a path like @"C:\holdfiles\myfile.txt" it looks on the server C drive. How do I pull from the client? Do I need a different class and/or method? Filestream? -- Thanks,

I frequently find myself wanting to insert some basic client-side JavaScript functions in the page of an ASPX of mine.
