Hi-

i am wondering if there is any way to do the following:

i want the other developers to just create an aspx page...and put some defined tags...lets say something like...
<uca>
<ucf>
<ucy>

if they put the above tags in their aspx page...and also the container user control (that i created) on the same page....the container user control will retrive the above tags and load appropriate user controls dynamically in the container user control..hope it makes sense

thanks

I think your post is incomplete. Where is the tag ?

Setting the focus on control jumps page to the top

Hi,

My senario: I have a sign-up form which, amoungst others, has a username textbox. The username textbox has autopostback set to true which, when posted back, checks to see if the entered username already exists in the DB and displays a message if so.

This works fine. But the problem I have is that in the code behind I am setting the focus to a control after doing the username check ( using txtUsername.Focus() ). But doing this causes the page to jump back to the top. This doesn't happen if I don't give a control the focus.

Any ideas how I can solve this?

A little more info about my form just in case it's relevant. The form is in an AJAX Accodion control which is in an AJAX Update Panel.

Thanks Smile | :)

Wouldn't that set the focus to that particular textbox every time the page was loaded? I need to be able to set the focus to a different textbox depending on the result of the username check, i.e. if the check fails then set focus to txtUsername but if it passes then set focus to txtPassword.

But also, when the page is loaded for the first time then the focus needs to be set to yet a different control. So using Javascript how would I determine which control to give the focus to?

Thanks for help by the way Smile | :)

Well, if the page is actually posted back, you might consider adding a script block using RegisterScriptBlock to the client page to have the proper textbox focus.

It is not usually great to do focus in server side in case of ASP.NET.

use txtBox.ClientId to get the id on the control to be focus.

But If I was in your situation, I would have invoked an AJAX call to the server, and get if it is available or not. It is really unnecessary to fully postback the page for this.

Static page height! How do I resize it dynamically?

Hi developers,

I am having a great challenge in my .aspx pages. I have a .css file for my site layout, but each time I add a page and add a lenghtly contents (i.e a long content), it does stay static and not resized automatically. This does not give me flexibility of page layout that I want (page height resizing dynamically). Although, the #content height was specified in pixels. But if I had not specified the #content height in my css file, the page can be resized dynamically.

Please help.

If you specify height in Pixels, it will not automatically resize according to content length. One thing you can do, is you can make overflow:auto to have scrollbar when content length goes greater than the height.

If you remove the setting of height of the element, it will automatically spread itself. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

You need to create an AlternateView.

It is actually a sending program from Gmail account, but basics remains the same. Smile | :)

innerText will not work in Firefox I guess.

You can use innerHTML.

Also there might be sometimes the control may have child elements so it is better to remove those elements first.
To Clear a container use

var element = document.getElementById('txtCommissionBalance');
while(element.firstChild)
   element.removeChild(element.firstChild);

After it removes all the element, do set the innerHTML.

You might consider RowDataBound event to find the control.

use like this :

Sub CustomersGridView_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

 'now use e.Row.FindControl to get the gridview.

End If

End Sub

Hope you got the solution. Rose | [Rose]
