asp:button does not fire event when placed inside asp:table

I had a beautiful script that was running, well, just beautifully. But
then I decided to take a button that fired an event and place it inside
a <asp:table. The event WILL NOT FIRE INSIDE THE TABLE!?! When I move
the button outside the table, it works just fine. Inside the table, it
doesn't. What gives?

Check the HTML tab to make sure that the Button control that fires the event
is placed inside <FORM>....</FORM>. Or perhaps, the "<asp:table " is not
within the "Form" boundary.

Hi,

Post the table markup. There are many reasons. You could be missing a
quote or a bracket. If you cut and paste the button then the ID will
automatically change if you don't erase the button from where it was first.
Check that you have matching opening/closing cell and row brackets. If it
is a large table then create a small one row one cell table. Put the button
in there and make sure it fires. Once you have gained that confidence and
seen it work then start creating your larger table piece by piece until your
button stops working. Whatever you just did before it stopped working is
where your problem is. Be sure to post code or markup next time and you
will receive a much more accurate answer. Good luck! Ken.

The button is definitely still inside the form, and nothing is being
erased and/or left behind when I move the button in and out of the
table. The procedure of moving the button isn't exactly what you'd
call complex. All I do is drag and drop the <asp:button> code in the
HTML viewer. The code behind the scenes still sees the button. I can
still reference and make visual changes to it. So the object is not
being hidden inside a <table> class somewhere. Why don't the events
fire?

Hi,

Post the code. Good luck! Ken.

Ok, here is a sample script I created called test.aspx that shows what
I'm taking about. It's in two parts, the aspx and aspx.cs. Click the
button in the first box... and it works. The second one is exactly the
same except it's inside an <asp:table> and it doesn't work. The third
button will make changes to the objects in the <asp:table>.

Hi,

Add this line between the other two in the InitializeCompo nent function:

this.Button2.Cl ick += new System.EventHan dler(this.Butto n2_Click);
By the way your Button3 is outside of your <Form> tags. Put it above the
</Form> tag or you'll have more problems. Good luck! Ken.

Thanks, that did help. I swear I tried that before though. After
playing with it a little more, it would appear that the events are
automatically removed by Visual Studio every single time I make a
change to the HTML page in design mode. It's most annoying. So my
next question is, can that be stopped? This pile of junk is deleting
code that I add!!! Talk about nerve!

Nov 19 '05 #8
I'll suggest you to check if there is any item left in the"job list"(I'm
using Chinese version so you should find similiar name in English)
The IDE will find certain possible problem and add them there. If something
is left then the designer view can have problem to switch back to your code
view, and doing unsensible changes to your code because somehow you made it
think the changes make senses.
