Is there a way to submit a button automatically from C# behind?

[dotnetcy]

Hello,

I have the following 'Add to Cart' button on my ASP.NET C# website that receives some values I previously saved in 2 session variables and then passes those values to an external script (a shopping cart) once the following button is clicked:

<input id="product_name" value='<%Response.Write(Session["Selected_add_to_cart_name"]);%>' class="product-title" type="hidden">
<input id="product_price" value='<%Response.Write(Session["Selected_add_to_cart_price"]);%>' class="product-price" type="hidden" >
<div title="Add to cart" role="button" tabindex="0" class="add-button" type="hidden">

The following is the external script that displays the shopping cart on my website:

<script id='cart-script' type='text/javascript' src='https://xx integration='jscart-wizard' post-cart-to-sandbox='false' currency='GBP'></script>

My question is How can I auto-submit the above button from c# behind?

I placed my own 'Add to Cart' ASP button that first executes some stuff I want to do with my database before I actually send the information to the external shopping cart. Therefore I would like to execute the above button and somehow .Click() it after I finish with my stuff first..

How can I do that?


Thank you in advance

This could be a bit tricky.
You could try adding a JavaScript function that calls the shopping card script during the window.onload event. The function would have to check conditions set during your server side code...


So basically, have your button submit to the server and set a Hidden Field value which would indicate that the shopping card script should be executed. Check the hidden field in the JavaScript function which is executed during the window.onload event....if the hidden field indicates that processing should be executed then call the shopping card script, otherwise don't call it.

Can you please point out what I would need to write to send the values of my 2 Session variables to the external script/shopping cart once the Argument (in my C#) is true?

If I simply call the external script:
<script id='cart-script' type='text/javascript' src='https://xx integration='jscart-wizard' post-cart-to-sandbox='false' currency='GBP'></script>

Then All that will happen will be that the external shopping cart will appear on my page (a small square lets the users know what they have in their basket)..

where as I need to find out how I can execute the following button from C# along with the 2 Session Variables that I set as the button's values:

<input id="product_name" value='<%Response.Write(Session["Selected_add_to_cart_name"]);%>' class="product-title" type="hidden">
<input id="product_price" value='<%Response.Write(Session["Selected_add_to_cart_price"]);%>' class="product-price" type="hidden" >
<div title="Add to cart" role="button" tabindex="0" class="add-button" type="hidden">



Thanks again
