javascript question --auto tabbing using ascx control

Hello Expert,

This is bascially a javascript question:

Here is my ASCX user control code in asp.net.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<!-- VALADATION JAVASCRIPT IN HELPERFUNCTIONS.JS FILE-->
<script language="JavaScript">
      function KeyUp1(what) {  
        if (what.value.length >= 3)          
            document.all("txtContactPhone_idExchange").focus();    
                  }
                  
            function KeyUp2(what) {  
        if (what.value.length >= 3)          
            document.all("txtContactPhone_idLastFour").focus();    
                  }
                                    
</script>
<asp:textbox id="idAreaCode" title="Enter Phone Area Code Number" runat="server" maxlength="3"
      width="40" onKeyUp="javascript: KeyUp1(this);"></asp:textbox>
<b>-</b>
<asp:textbox id="idExchange" title="Enter Phone Exchange Number" runat="server" maxlength="3"
      width="40" onKeyUp="javascript: KeyUp2(this);"></asp:textbox>
<b>-</b>
<asp:textbox id="idLastFour" title="Enter Phone Last Four Number" Runat="server" MaxLength="4"
      width="45"></asp:textbox>
<asp:Label ID="lblExt" Runat="server" text=" Ext:"></asp:Label><asp:textbox id="idExt" title="Enter Phone Extension Number" Runat="server" MaxLength="5" columns="5"
      width="45"></asp:textbox>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am doing auto tabbing for phone number user control.

i want the javascript to be more generic.

for eg:  document.all("txtContactPhone_idExchange").focus();    

txtcontactphone is the usercontrol name on my asp page.

idexchange is the textbox name on the ascx -usercontrol page

If  i want to use same user control  mutiple times on the same aspx page, i have to provide different names to the control for use.

so basically i cannot hard the usercontrol name here in the ascx control.

can any one help me out.

thanks

and your JavaScript function will be something like following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- VALADATION JAVASCRIPT IN HELPERFUNCTIONS.JS FILE-->
<script language="JavaScript">
     function KeyUp1(what, vname) {  
        if (what.value.length >= 3)          
            document.all(vname).focus();    
               }
               
          function KeyUp2(what, vname) {  
        if (what.value.length >= 3)          
            document.all(vname).focus();    
               }
                             
</script>

idexchange is the textbox name on the ascx -usercontrol page

(I believe txtcontactphone is TextBox & idexchange is the UserControl)

You can try to Pass ClientID in JavaScript Function from your Code.

txtContactPhone.ClientID will give you actual Client ID of the Control.

Thanks for the reply.

If you see the above code:

document.all("txtContactPhone_idExchange").focus();

txtcontactphone is the usercontrol name on my asp page. (not properly named)

idexchange is the textbox name on the ascx -usercontrol page.

txtcontactphone is hard coded on my ascx control page.

i need to pass it generic instead of txtcontactphone(name of the user control) to this code
document.all("txtContactPhone_idExchange").focus();

thanks

this is my code on the aspx page:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="PAO4B" TagName="PhoneNumber" Src="controls/USPhoneNo.ascx"%>

<PAO4B:PHONENUMBER id="txtContactPhone" runat="server" required="true"></PAO4B:PHONENUMBER>

so my control name is txtContactPhone.

If i have to use same control on another place on the same page, like this

<PAO4B:PHONENUMBER id="txtWorkPhone" runat="server" required="true"></PAO4B:PHONENUMBER>


then i need to change my javascript user control code to be more generic.

i cannot hard code txtContactPhone
in the code:      document.all("txtContactPhone_idExchange").focus();

please help me out.

thanks

Rather then writting in HTML call your function like following from Code Behind

inside your Page_Load add following lines

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string strExchangeClientID = idExchange.ClientId;
string strLastFourClientID = idLastFour.ClientId;

idAreaCode.Attributes.Add( "OnKeyUp", "KeyUp1(this, '" + strExchangeClientID +"');" );
idLastFor.Attributes.Add( "OnKeyUp", "KeyUp2(this, '" + strLastFourClientID +"');" );

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
