Injecting javascript into a particular part in a page from inside a codebehind file.

[Andy B]

How do you add javascript to a page from codebehind? I have a method I am
working on that has a few conditions in it:

1. if either 1 or both WordTextBox or DefinitionTextBox is empty, show a
popup window telling the user that the textbox(s) can't be empty and return
them to the page with no further action.
2. The value in WordTextBox is already in the collection as a key, so show a
popup telling the user that the word already exists and then return them to
the page with no further action.

How would you do this?

How would you do this?

1. I think you can do this with ASP.NET RequiredFieldValidator &
ValidationSummary Controls
2. How do you get collection? Is it a database value?

collection is a dictionary<strin, string>

This wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I need to have a popup window
(the javascript alert window) pop up if:

1. The WordTextBox.Text property is empty.
2. The DefinitionTextBox.Text property is empty.
3. Both WordTextBox.Text and DefinitionTextBox.Text are empty at the same
time.
4. The value for WordTextBox.Text already exists inside the dictionary
collection.

Of course all of these have different messages that go along with them.
