Why do you use Designer?

I think using it will end up creating unnecessary codes. use html to define design. Smile | :)

Hi all,

I am a beginner in javascript, and now I am trying to use it to check validation for an aspx page. I have a button and a textbox. When the button is clicked, the textbox will be checked wether it is empty or not.

I use the following code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" runat="server">
      function checkValue2( obj)
{
    if (obj.value == "")
        alert ("empty");
    else
        alert ("not empty");
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>              
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"  onclick='checkValue2(forms[0].TextBox1)' />  
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

And this is the error:

Compiler Error Message: CS1001: Identifier expected

Source Error:

Line 7: <title>Untitled Page</title>
Line 8: <script type="text/javascript" runat="server">
Line 9: function checkValue2( obj)Line 10: {
Line 11: if (obj.value == "")

Could you tell me how can I fix this error?

Thank kiu so much!

Try This :

var TextID="<%TextBox1.ClientID")";
 function checkValue2()
{
    Var ClientTextID= document.getElementByID(TextID);
    if(ClientTextID.value='')
      {
       alert('text box is null);
      }
     else
      {
      alert('text box is not null);
      }
}

Please check the syntax. Smile | :)

Suggested change should be done in OnClientClick Event

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" 
OnClientClick='checkValue2(forms[0].TextBox1)' />

I have placed it in my code as following

<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" runat="server">
      var TextID="<%TextBox1.ClientID")";
        function checkValue2()
        {   
            Var ClientTextID= document.getElementByID(TextID);
            if(ClientTextID.value='')     
            {     
                alert('text box is null);     
            } 
            else    
            {    
                alert('text box is not null);   
            }
        }
</script>
</head>

But it seems to be wrong?

The only problem that I see in your code is runat="server" in the script block.

If you specify a script block as runat="server" it will take it as C# / VB.NET block based on the language.

So remove the runat = server and also use
OnClientClick to define javascript block.

use this :

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"  OnClientClick="javascript:checkValue2(this)" /> 

<script type="text/javascript" >
function checkValue2( obj)
{
    if (obj.value == "")
        alert ("empty");
    else
        alert ("not empty");
}
</script>

this will work. Wink | ;)

do not use expression in CSS...

Browser renders it for every action, thus the site will be slower. Even mouse-move will call it also. Smile | :)

do you check for document.selection.createRange for IE ?

Use like this :

var txt = '';
if (window.getSelection) //FF
   txt = window.getSelection();
else if (document.getSelection)
   txt = document.getSelection();
else if (document.selection) // IE
   txt = document.selection.createRange().text;

I think this will do the trick. Wink | ;)

hi ,
i used it , its not working .
i.e it is triggered if the cursor is just the textbox .

actually we want to enable the input only if the text is selected . i.e it is one condition.

and even return true; is not working in FF.

so is there any other way we could do it .
