asked on

detect Control Changed (Get Dirty?) for any control on an asp.net 2.0 page

Just looking for a simple way to detect that any control on a web page has been changed, or even clicked into, so I can clear a message etc when the next operation is beginning. i.e the page says thank you for saving, then user wants to start a new record, I want to detect this and clear or change the message.

Thanks

It's all client side javascript...

<html>
      <head>
            <script language="javascript">
                  function setMessage()
                  {
                         document.getElementById("Message").innerText="You are entering new data!!!!"
                  }
            </script>
      </head>
      <body>
            <input type="text" onclick="javascript:setMessage()">
            <div id="Message">Message</div>
      </body>
</html>

Thanks for pushing me ethoths, I am keen to get it right, and would love to get a handle on javascript, just so much to learn already moving to .net!! Really appreciate your time

I've tried to add your code to the page, but keep tripping over. below is the page i have that it needs to be added to, if you could help me with this i can run with it in other areas. I am using a master page, would that make a difference? the page has a content place holder in it which changes the html a bit.

Sorry, on a steep learning curve here, i thought this one was easy

Here's the page:

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Booking.aspx.vb" Inherits="Home" title="Clickmow Bookings" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="GMDatePicker" Namespace="GrayMatterSoft" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder2" Runat="Server">
   
    <span >

        and we will contact you as soon as possible.
        <br /><br />
