In my webform, when the user clicks on Save button, I display the prompt that the data was saved using this code:
In aspx.cs file:
errMes.InnerHtml = "<script language='javascript'>aler
But when this alert message pops up on the screen, some of the buttons in the page, disappear. They re-appear after I click on OK button on the alert message.
Could you please let me know what has to be done to avoid this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
DreamChaser.

Hi Vincent
Thank you so much for your reply, mate
The buttons aren't present directly below the alert message but else where like Logout Button etc.
But when the alert message pops up those buttons disappear strangely and re-appear after I click on OK button of the alert message.
It would be great if you can let me know how I go about doing it.
Thanks again for your reply.

ok if the buttons aren't near the alert message, then I have to assume it's because of bandwidth or whatever errMes does.
What is errMes? a vb element? are you going back to the server? Why don't you simply insert the alert message within your button's onclick event?
<input type='button' value='save' onclick='alert("Data Saved"); whateverOtherCodeIsFired')
When you Click a button you are posting your request to server !! For showing an alert the way you chose is not correct !!
If you want to show the message after saving Data Better put in a label
like
lblSave.Text = "Data Saved";
not as a alert(); Becoz when going for a alert message server will not render all controls until u clicked OK button!! That is the reason you are missing few Controls on the page before pressing OK!
if you want to show the message before data being saved you can use like
<input type='button' value='save' onclick="alert('Data about to save');" />

Hi Vincent,
I have to do some validations on the data before saving them.
So I have to put the alert code only in the server side, and based on the data entered by the user, I have to say appropriate error mesgs like "Data Saved" "Nothing to save" "The values on this textbox should be greater than the values on this text box" etc.
This needs me to access the database to check for unsaved data, right?
So I can only add the alert mesg in Server side, right?
Thanks,

Hi,
sorry, got tied up in real life.
Ok, my current understanding of your prob:
your boss insists on server side messages.
My opinion: he's living in an IBM 360 world. If you are going to execute (imho) meaningless/redundant/moot
insofar as validation & checking the db:
No, you do not need to check the db for unsaved data. If data fails, your db is never called. Your validation should set flags that tell you & the user which input fields fail and why. For an example of validating client side, see http://members.aol.com/gra

I presume you mean buttons that directly below the alert message? If so, afaik, there is nothing you can do short of writing a semi-transparent div that delivers the same message.
