Using ASP .NET without Javascript

[lbolognini]

Hi all,

lately I've been trying to build my first ASP .NET application.

This is the way I use buttons to submit forms:
[input id="btnSubmit" type="submit" value="Cook it!"
onserverclick="InsertNewRecipe" runat="server"]
(putting square brakets as I don't know how Google Groups treats HTML

These are the sample properties I use for ALL my validators:

So the question is: why do I keep getting ASP .NET generating
_UNWANTED_ Javascript?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Hi,

start from here

Client Script in Web Forms Pages
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...InWebForms.asp

It's tell you which controls do require JavaScript.

Second thing is that you can set Page's ClientTarget to "downlevel" which
indicates that no script is sent to the client (as far as is possible within
the controls you use).

Here's also a bit more information

Hi Teemu,

thanks for the reply.

I'm reading at the link above

downlevel Renders with HTML 3.2 capabilities; that is, no CSS support.

Does this mean that I can't use the CssClass property of the controls I
put on the page?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

More likely it means that the controls do not render inline styles within
their HTML elements (like style="width:300px"), but I cannot remember if it
disables totally outputting the CssClass attribute (which just spits out the
class="classname" to the tag). With quick look seems that it shouldn't (and
you can always put attributes out with Attributes property).

Hi Teemu,

thanks, got kinda of the same suggestion here:
http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/de...et.12.157029.2

So it seems there is a hope. However, don't know if it's just a Beta 2
bug of Visual Web Developer 2005 which I'm using but setting the
ClientTarget @Page directive to downlevel (which oddly engough is not
available through intellisense) doesn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
