event not firing... asp 4

Protected Sub chkEmailUpdates_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkEmailUpdates.CheckedChanged
        requireName.Enabled = chkEmailUpdates.Checked
End Sub

Open in new window

with tag:

<asp:CheckBox ID="chkEmailUpdates" runat="server" Text="Email me updates"  />

Open in new window

Question: Why this event (chkEmailUpdates_CheckedChanged) is not firing when it is checked or unchecked?

Thank you.

Hi Giannis,

I tried but for some reason it is not working.

I have the following javascript working for me doing some other tasks. I wonder if we could change this script to respond to chkEmailUpdates_CheckedChanged and also include

requireEmail.Enabled = chkEmailUpdates.Checked

This is vb version, I suppose I need to use setAttribute or something similar in javascript below to accomplish that.

        <script type="text/javascript">

            // to anonymous function are created to help with chkBox functionalities
            window.onload = function () {
            
                document.getElementById("<%= chkEmailUpdates.ClientID %>").onchange = function () {
                    var txtAddress = document.getElementById("<%= txtAddress.ClientID %>");
                    txtAddress.disabled = !this.checked;
                    if (!this.checked) txtAddress.value = "";
                    if (this.checked) txtAddress.focus();
                    txtAddress.setAttribute('CausesValidation = " + txtAddress """');
                }
                
                // on document first-time load chkAddComment is false therefore it has to be set to none
                document.getElementById("CommentRow").style.display = (document.getElementById("<%= chkAddComment.ClientID %>").checked) ? "block" : "none";
                
                document.getElementById("<%= chkAddComment.ClientID %>").onchange = function () {
                    if (this.checked) {
                        document.getElementById("CommentRow").style.display = "block";
                    } else {
                        document.getElementById("CommentRow").style.display = "none";
                    }
                }
            }
        </script>

Did it finally work? I was about to have a look on it. I didn't have time the rest of the day :)
