asp:net button and javascript

[Anton ml. Vahèiè]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I convince my
<asp:Button id="Button1" onclick="stopClock()" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT:
8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 136px" runat="server"
Text="Button"></asp:Button>
that will run javascript function - stopClock()

Regular html button does not seem to have a problem with that.

Anton, ml.

Change tag in your webform to:

<asp:Button id="Button1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT:
8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 136px" runat="server"
Text="Button"></asp:Button>

And then in your Page_Load, do:

Button1.Attributes.Add("onClick", stopClock()")

Hi,

Smart. Thanks. Maybe one more question if you know perhaps. If my
JavaScript function stopClock() return some string (let's say "Today") and I
want that my Button1.Text is now changed to "Today". How do I do it?

Greetings,
Anton, ml.

You're trying to fire a client event from the server. This is what
you need to do:

1. Add this to Page_Load:

Button1.Attributes.Add ("onclick", "javascript:stopClock(); return
false;");

[Note that "return false" keeps the page from being posted; take that
out if you do want the page to be posted.]

2. Change the button declaration to this:

<asp:Button id="Button1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 8px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 136px" runat="server" Text="Button" />

[You might also want to set the CausesValidation property to false.]
