The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Determing which button clicked in a Dynamic array of buttons

Asked by gmbeckett in Programming for ASP.NET

Tags: button

I am creating an arrray of 100 or more Buttons dynamically

The idea is when the user clicks on a button it changes color.

I have done this with an array of ASP buttons by adding the Handler BtnColorClick

Code for creating buttons:

For Col= 0 To 100
     Btn(Col) = New Button
     Btn(Col).BackColor = Color.Red
     Btn( Col).CommandArgument = Col
     AddHandler Btn(Col).Command, AddressOf BtnColorClick
     Pnl.Controls.Add(Btn( Col))
    Next

Btn Click code:
   
Private Sub BtnColorClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.CommandEventArgs)

Dim Col as int16

Col = e.CommandArgument
If Btn( Col).BackColor.Equals(Color.Red) then
      btn(Col).BackColor = Color.Blue
Else
     btn(col).BackColor = Color.Red
End if

This works fine but the page is posted back so I have to re-create the buttons in the page load event

I can create a single HTML button called Bt and change the color in javascript.

function ChangeBtnColor() {
      if (Form1.Bt.style.backgroundColor == '#ff0000')
      {
      
            Form1.Bt.style.backgroundColor = "Blue";
      }
      else
      {
       Form1.Bt.style.backgroundColor = 'ff0000'
       }
      }

This works fine.

What I am trying to do is to create an array of HTML buttons dynamically and do the same thing in jarvascript without having to create up to 100 separate Btn click functions for each button.

My problem is is there a way of finding out which button is clicked in javascript so as that the correct button changes color as it does by using the ASP button method but without doing a page post back.
