I want to execute a javascript function that will set a value in the
parent window from the child widow where its called and then post the
form to the server. I seem to be able to execute one or the other but
not both. The child page (html) code is:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="AddKeyWord.aspx.vb" Inherits="ComponentSearch.AddKeyWord"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>AddKeyWord</title>
<meta content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1" name="GENERATOR">
<meta content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1" name="CODE_LANGUAGE">
<meta content="JavaScript" name="vs_defaultClientScript">
<meta content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5"
name="vs_targetSchema">
<script language='javascript'>
function WriteBack() {
if (document.forms[0].TextBox_KeyWord) {
document.writeln(opener.document.forms[0].TextBox_KeyWords.value =
opener.document.forms[0].TextBox_KeyWords.value + ' ' +
document.forms[0].TextBox_KeyWord.value); };
return true;
};
</script>
</HEAD>
<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:textbox id="TextBox_KeyWord" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 96px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 64px"
runat="server" Width="328px" Height="24px"></asp:textbox><asp:label

id="Button_Add" onclick="WriteBack" style="Z-INDEX: 103; LEFT: 192px;

runat="server" Width="56px" Text="Add"></asp:button><asp:button
id="Button_Cancel" style="Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 280px; POSITION:

runat="server" Width="51" Height="24"
Text="Cancel"></asp:button><asp:label id="Label_ErrorMessage"
style="Z-INDEX: 105; LEFT: 104px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 136px"

</body>
</HTML>
The VB.NET Codebehind function is named the same as the javascript
function (a technique that was detailed in this group) and the entire
codebehind code is:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
Button_Cancel.Attributes.Add("OnClick",
"javascript:window.close();")
Button_Add.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "javascript:WriteBack();")
End Sub
Public Sub WriteBack(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
If TextBox_KeyWord.Text & "" > "" Then
PostKeyWord(OpenConnection, Session("SYSTEM_NAME"),
Session("CONTAINER_NAME"), Session("COMPONENT_NAME"),
TextBox_KeyWord.Text)
Label_ErrorMessage.Visible = False
Else
Label_ErrorMessage.Text = "Enter a keyword to add"
Label_ErrorMessage.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Why won't the client run both the javascript and then execute the
writeback sub in the code behind?? If I comment out the line
Button_Add.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "javascript:WriteBack();") in the
codebehind the WriteBack sub in the codebehind is executed. If I leave
it in the javascript is executed and the value is written back to the
parent properly, but not the codebehind is executed. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks,
