Re: ASP.Net presentation Layer...Urgent Please help

Hey guys,

I am working on a asp.Net (1.1) site. Basically I need to add a couple of new pages. The page would have a few drop down displaying bgColor options, font options, and text size. Now when the user selects one or all of these options, and click the submit button… I should be able to change the page’s look appropriately. So for instance, if a user selects red for the background, Arial for the font and 10 as the size…on button_click event these properties should apply to the page. Now I am grabbing the value from the drop down ( string currentColor = ddl1.SelectedValue; )
I notices that the page control, doesn’t have the body or html form element, so now how do I apply this color property for example to the entire page. My guess is I’d have to go under HTML mode of aspx page and do it there.

Please suggest what is the best approach here.

Thanks
Tina

Hi,
Try javascript:
function change_app()
{
var ddl = document.getElementById("DropDownList1")
document.bgColor = ddl.options[ddl.selectedIndex].text
}

And in HTML: onclick event of the button call the function.

Thanks & Regards
Mishra

Problem regarding client scripting

19-Dec-06 4:25

Hello Mishra, thanks for your response. One of the requirements is to not use Java script as most screen readers can’t read it to well. Could you tell me how this could be accomplished on the server side (that is either programitically in the code behind or perhaps in html writing server side code in <% block. I’m pretty new to asp.Net and don’t know much about it. Please suggest what should I do.

Thanks
Tina

Hai,

I had creted webpage where user needs to submit the data regarding software request. I had done with page by creating master page. The data submission is working fine in this page. Here i wrote some client side scripting(Java Script) for validation and they are not working. i placed the client side code in the master page . The question here is that for all the pages inherting the master page, can i place the client side scripting in the master page itself?

i placed the scripting code on the clientclick event of the submit button.But when i click the button its directly inserting data in to database with out on any client side check.

Can you please help me how can i figure out the error regarding this.

Thank you,

Veerendra

Hello All,

I am new to asp.net and probably have a simple question, I have created a datalist which has 6 fields all labels these are "propref", "zone", "type", "typext", "link", "filename" these are populated by the database,

What I am trying to do is get the text value of the "type" label and copy it into a label called "res" outside the datalist

I tried:

Private Sub Datalist1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListCommandEventArgs) _
Handles DataList1.ItemCommand
Dim l As Label
l = CType(e.Item.FindControl("type"), Label)
If (Not l Is Nothing) Then
res.Text = l.Text
End If
End Sub

But didnt display anything,

Any help will be much appreciated,

Regards,

asp.net 1.0 project in Visual Studio 2005 ?

This is probably a daft question.

Can I open an asp.net 1.0 project in Visual Studio 2005 and not convert it to an asp.net 2.0 project ?

I have VS2005 installed on my machine (with asp.net 2.0 I believe) but the server I am deploying the project on only uses asp.net 1.0

Thanks

No, I think if you open a 1.0 project it will ask you to upgrade it.

In your aspx page use a table element.

  <br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"><br />
            <tr><br />
                <td runat="server" id="tdMain"><br />
                       Put content here<br />
                </td><br />
             </tr><br />
   </table><br />
<br />
Server side code should be like this<br />
me.tdMain.Style.Add(" background-color", "red");<br />

Re: Changing appearence of UI elements in aspx OR codebehind

Thanks for the response. Like I said I need this to happen when the user clicks the button and the button click event fires. Which means either I should do it on the server side somehow under button1_click event handler or like you said in aspx page. What you have showed me, sounds like is static…it will change the color right away I only want it done on button click. Also shouldn’t I be using the whole body element (i.e. form1.Style.Add (“bgColor”. Red) since I want the color to be applied to the entire page???

Thanks
Tina

The idea is that you put all the content of your page inside the single table cell and it will affect the entire page.<br />
<br />
<form id="Form1" runat="server"><br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"><br />
<tr><br />
<td runat="server" id="tdMain"><br />
<br />
ALL CONTENT<br />
<br />
<br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
</form><br />
<br />
<br />
You can modify the style of tdMain from any event. You can add and remove style elements during the button_click event.<br />

Accession Page Control from UserControl

18-Dec-06 10:13

Well it’s not a pretty simple page. It’s got 3 user controls and a lot of other UI elements. Please elaborate on how to apply the above mentioned properties when that button is clicked (as you said above “can add and remove style elements during the button_click event.”).

Thanks

Hi All
I have a web page, having two tables and lots of controls in them. when user finishes entering data in table1 and clicks button then second table gets enabled.

In the second table there is a user control and couple of buttons (btnContinue, btnClear). userControl consists of dropdown and textbox.
When user finishes entering data in textbox(Present in usercontrol) and press "ENTER" key, the btnContinue on aspx page should get clicked.
We are using Asp.Net 1.1, VS2003
Can some one help me coming out of this?

Add the following to your aspx code.

<script type="text/javascript"><br />
function ButtonPress (evt, btnID) {<br />
if (evt.keyCode == "13") <br />
{evt.returnValue= false ; evt.cancel= true ; document.getElementById(btnID).click(); return false; }<br />
}<br />
</script><br />
<br />
In the codebhind add the following.<br />
Dim ObjButton as Button = UserControl.Findcontrol("ButtonId")<br />
<br />
Me.Textbox1.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress", "ButtonPress(event, '" & ObjButton.ClientID & "')")<br />
          <br />
<br />

Does that help?

Hi ToddHileHoffer

I understood the script, but not the codebehind code.
can you elaborate a bit.
// Dim ObjButton as Button = UserControl.Findcontrol("ButtonId")
My Button is in aspx page and text box in user control.

// Me.Textbox1.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress", "ButtonPress(event, '" &
ObjButton.ClientID & "')")
what is C# equavalent for "Me" ?
And more over do i need to write this in code behind of aspx page or UserControl?

Sorry for confusion.

sorry, here is the C# for your code behind.

<br />
Textbox txt = (Textbox) Usercontrol.FindControl("TextboxID");<br />
this.txt.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress", "ButtonPress(event, '" &<br />
this.Button.ClientID & "')");<br />

Does that work for you?
