simulate button click

xzzy · Dec 2, 2005

I have several pages in a frame and need the code behind of a page in one of
the frames to cause a button in that page to click so the javascript in that
button will execute on the client computer..

Thank you,

John Bickmore

Use Page.RegisterStartupScript to add a JavaScript to the page that clicks
the button.

John-

You can try something like such:

this.Response.Redirect("WebForm1.aspx?__EVENTTARGET=ButtonA");

If you have a button called ButtonA, this code will redirect the browser
to WebForm1 and trigger the event handler for the button. (It is indeed
two underscores before EVENTTARGET)

Hope this helps,
Jim Suruda

this.Response.Redirect("WebForm1.aspx?__EVENTTARGET=ButtonA");

Does execute ButtonA 's code in that page after loading into the frame

but does not actually "click" ButtonA

I need to "click" ButtonA because it just had different javascript added to
Attributes that needs to be executed

the next reply in the thread - from Jim Suruda -
that code does fire the code behind named ButtonA_OnClick, but it does not
click the button

clicking the button is important because
ButtonA just had different javascript added to Attributes that needs to
be executed

Cute! But it doesn't sound anything like the original "horse to water"
saying. So, my Uncle Chutney would never go for it. He likes to play around
with old sayings, to give them new meaning. I must admit, though, the new
meaning in this case is a mystery to me! Oh well, as Uncle Chutney sez,
"Ambiguity has a certain quality to it."

Kevin, your suggestion about RegisterStartupScript got me thinking that if
I was okay with not clicking a button and thus having to load a different
page into that frame, then this works:

Thanks for your help,
John

PS I find it funny that the more I do .net, the more I learn Javascript

Code behind:
// the next line means: in this frame, replace the page belonging to
this code behind with Blank.htm
this.Response.Redirect("blank.htm");

Blank.htm
<script language="javascript">
function IveBeenSlimed()
{
do things here
}
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body onload="IveBeenSlimed()">
</body>
</html>

Hi John,

PS I find it funny that the more I do .net, the more I learn Javascript

Shouldn't be funny at all. It's not .Net per se, but ASP.Net. To do ASP.Net,
one must learn and understand a wide variety of disciplines, including HTML,
CSS, JavaScript, XML, HTTP, SOAP, web server technology, etc. It's a lot
harder than writing Windows desktop apps! I can't tell you how many hours
I've spent poring over sites like the W3C web site, the ECMA web site, etc.
etc. My voluminous collection of bookmarks speaks for itself!
