I do think, you have removed, lblerrorPw label?

aimds

ASKER

no . it's still there .
<asp:Label ID="lblerrorPw" runat="server" Text="*" ForeColor="red"></asp:Label>
I have tried debug in btnDelete_Click and it has never enter this method
even I have removed code all in btnDelete_Click it still gave me the same error

bedanand

__doPostBack('btnDelete','');

btnDelete-> not corrent
should be clients id not server id.

StealthyDev

Dear, you an option to execute a function in SERVER or in CLIENT.
The switch between them is runat="server".

If you leave it empty, you need to write the function in a script language like VB/Java.

See, in your code, you need to write a function named btnDelete_Click like this:

<script>
function btnDelete_Click()
{
//your code.
}
</script>

If you still want to run it in server, add this: (runat="server")

<asp:Button ID="btnDelete" runat="server" Text="delete" OnClick="btnDelete_Click" Visible="false" runat="server"/>

Best regards.

A small tweak would do the trick

**********function comfirm and callpostback*************
function DeleteDataTest() {           
    var answer = confirm('Do you want to delete this user?')
    var DeleteButton = document.getElementById('<%=btnDelete.ClientID %>');
    if (answer) {
          __doPostBack(DeleteButton,'');                          
    }
}

btnDelete => this is clients ID and I need to run at server (btnDelete runat server)
2010-04-19-12-05-50.jpg

masterpass

You already had runat="server" in the HTML markup given in you question

<asp:Button ID="btnDelete" runat="server" Text="delete" OnClick="btnDelete_Click" Visible="false" />

By the way, Did you try my code ?

StealthyDev

Hi aimds,

as i have already prescribed you, add runat="server" to achieve this.

<asp:Button ID="btnDelete" runat="server" Text="delete" OnClick="btnDelete_Click" Visible="false" runat="server"/>

Regards.

bedanand

pls check the client id of the btnDelete after you do the runat doing view source on the browser.

and replace here

__doPostBack('newclientid','');

aimds

I tried verything you said
but i still got the same error
have tried this
<asp:Button ID="btnDelete" runat="server" Text="delete" OnClick="btnDelete_Click" runat="server"/>

tried this
function DeleteDataTest() {
var answer = confirm('Do you want to delete this user?')
var DeleteButton = document.getElementById('<%=btnDelete.ClientID %>');
if (answer) {
__doPostBack(DeleteButton,'');
}
}

and btnDelete is clientID the picture on my above comment is view source on the browser

this is my codes

StealthyDev

You need to write something like this in ,aspx.vb file

Or you just go to design view and double click the button.

Protected Sub btnDelete_ServerClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BUTTON1.ServerClick
	runtestschoices.Visible = False
End Sub

masterpass

before we go to any other method, Try this too

function DeleteDataTest() {           
var answer = confirm('Do you want to delete this user?')
var DeleteButton = document.getElementById('<%=btnDelete.ClientID %>');
if (answer) {
   __doPostBack(DeleteButton.id,'');

why dont use imagebutton instead of

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/01/02/434362.aspx

i assume you are using custom javascript to show confirm dailogbox.

<asp:ImageButton OnClientClick="return Confirm('do you want to delete');" ID="ImageButton1" runat="server"                                        
                                        OnClick="ImageButton1_Click" ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/Default/images/delete2.png" 
                                         style="width: 16px; height: 16px; cursor: pointer;"/>

var DeleteButton = document.getElementById('<%=btnDelete.ClientID %>');

__doPostBack(DeleteButton.id,'');
}
}

for this I don't know why it did not give me any comfirm.
only worked in ImageButton1_Click
<asp:ImageButton OnClientClick="return Confirm('do you want to delete');" ID="ImageButton1" runat="server"
OnClick="ImageButton1_Click" ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/Default/images/delete2.png"
style="width: 16px; height: 16px; cursor: pointer;"/>

masterpass

small change

<asp:ImageButton OnClientClick="javascript:return Confirm('do you want to delete');" ID="ImageButton1" runat="server"
OnClick="ImageButton1_Click" ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/Default/images/delete2.png"
style="width: 16px; height: 16px; cursor: pointer;"/>

bedanand

only worked in ImageButton1_Click

if this works for you. only postback occurs when you click yes o the confrimation window.

for masterpass:
OnClientClick="javascript:return Confirm('do you want to delete');"
i guess no need to put javascript. only required if you you put on href on conrol that generates a (anchor) tag.
