I get an error when running my Javascript inside my UserControl. It works
fine if I put the UserControl Data directly in my Web Page.
The stripped down code is:
<script language=javasc ript>
function CheckQuestion()
{
var checkBox = document.getEle mentById('Secur ityStandard');
alert("checkBox .checked = " + checkBox.checke d);
}
</script>
Mozilla doesn't seem to have a problem, but IE gives me this error:
Error: Object required.
The object in the UserControl is:
<asp:RadioButto n ID="SecuritySta ndard" Checked="true"
GroupName="Secu rityQuestion" runat="server" Text=" Secret Question:"/>
From View Source:
<input id="_ctl0_Secur ityStandard" type="radio"
name="_ctl0:Sec urityQuestion" value="Security Standard" checked="checke d"
onclick="return CheckQuestion() ;" />
On the page that does work:
<input id="SecuritySta ndard" type="radio" name="SecurityQ uestion"
value="Security Standard" checked="checke d" onclick="return CheckQuestion() ;"
/>
For some reason the radio buttons Name is appended with "_ctl0:" in the
UserControl and nothing is appended in the regular page.
I am used to seeing this from DataGrids, but not as a regular control on the
page.
How would I hande the Javascript in this case?
Thanks,

Make a look at the HTML generated by your code and find your checkbox ID.
Did it looks some diferent from the original??? Sure it is.
The framework add the name of the control to input ids in generated HTML.
That's why your javascript don't works.

The reason this script doesn't work is because of you are using an user
control. Generally, .NET appends this _ct* prefix with the controls that
placed in a UserControl and UserControl placed in a page, which is to
make uniqueness among the controls present in the UserControl and in the
Page.
The solution to this problem is you have to place this script in your
code behind file's Page_Load event. Check the below code.
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
String _Script = "function CheckQuestion() ";
_Script += "{";
_Script += "var checkBox = document.getEle mentById({0});" ;
_Script += "alert(checkBox .checked)";
_Script += "}";
// Assume you have the RadioButton already defined
_Script = String.Format(_ Script, SecurityStandar d.ClientId);
Page.ClientScri pt.RegisterStar tupScript(this. GetType(),
"CheckBox_Scrip t", _Script, true);
}
}
For your understanding, the trick part is
_Script = String.Format(_ Script, SecurityStandar d.ClientId);
I am just updating the ASP.NET generated control id to the script,
instead of the one it has in the design time. By using
RegisterStartup Script I am registering the script to the client.
Let me know if you have further issues with the code.

Why do you have to Register the script? I use Javascript all the time and I
don't register it.
Also, how does document.getEle mentById({0}) get you the Radio button?
I actually have about 15 objects (texboxes and other radio buttons). How
does it know what control you are talking about?
What actually prepends the "_ctl0:" to the ID?

Hi,
tshad wrote: Why do you have to Register the script? I use Javascript all the time and I don't register it.
When you "register" a script in a Page instance, you make sure that this
script will appear only once on the page, even if there are more
instances of the same control. If you don't register the script, and if
you have more than one instance of the same control, then each instance
will generate the same script, which is not needed, might cause unwanted
effects, and makes the response bigger for no reason.
Also, how does document.getEle mentById({0}) get you the Radio button?
document.getEle mentById takes a string (ID) as parameter. However, the
ID must be carefully used, because in a control, it might not be equal
to the ID set in the code. Once again, if you have more than one
instance of the same control, the ID must be unique. This is why ASP.NET
generates a unique ID, which is accessible with the ClientID property.
The syntax String.Format( "document.getEl ementById({0})" ,
SecurityStandar d.ClientID ) will simply replace the {0} element with
the first parameter after the string, in this case the ClientID of the
SecurityStandar d control.
I actually have about 15 objects (texboxes and other radio buttons). How does it know what control you are talking about?
I don't understand your question.
What actually prepends the "_ctl0:" to the ID?
See my explanation above: It's ASP.NET because of the need for the ID to
be unique.
Thanks,
Tom
