Consume a javascript event in codebehind page

Bolasz210-Mar-04 10:08

Is this possible....?

function myEvent {
// raise event command //
}

------
Codebehind .aspx.vb page
------

Protected withevents myEvent as ???

sub myEvent_fired() handles myEvent
msgbox("Your event has fired!")
end sub

------

Maybe something completely different, but hopefully this spells out the problem!

I'm not sure I understand your meaning, myEvent is going to be a client-side function, and the CodeBehind of course runs on the server. You can always do the usual things from the Javascript function, like submit the form, or set the value of a hidden field, if that helps. If not, give us a bit more detail on what you're trying to do, and we can give you the best work-around.

Also, don't forget that we have a separate dedicated forum for ASP.NET now: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=12076[^]

Yes, your understanding was correct!

I have a client side js function that needs to raise an event when it has finished so that the codebehind can process either the contents of a hidden field on the page to store what has happened, or indeed just handle a passed data string.

In a perfect world I could raise an event thus.

window.external.raiseevent('myEventFinished','string data to send to server codebehind')

And consume this in the server codebehind code, although have not worked out how yet!

But maybe I cannot send a string of data this way, and need to store the data in a hidden control before calling the event.

Either way, I am stuck on consuming the event from the server codebehind file.

Thank you for the new link, I will also check this out!

Many thanks Marcie,

Mike.

ASP: Website doesn't work wenn Access is open

By default, I believe Access opens in exclusive-mode, meaning only one user can have the database open at a time.

As Datagridgirl said, Access does tend to open in Exclusive mode. But another thing to check is the permissions of the directory where the database lives. When Access opens a database it creates a ".ldb" file used for locking. I have seen it where the security rights only grants access to the owner of a file, which in your case would be Access. If exclusive is not the problem, check security rights.

Agree with Joel Lucsy. I connected access successfully in ODBC when access had be opened. Thus I think that is a problem of rights. When a web page is accessed IIS logins with IUSER_xxx that is not right for *.ldb file.

Hi
I just want to inquire if the Netscape browsers (any version, especially the updated one) as well as the Macintosh supports the opacity property? If it is supported what is the syntax or how it would be apply in the code especially in the CSS?

Thank You Very Much

I Heard that the new netscape does support a large number of CSS style settings. But only versions 6 to 7.

Advantage of using SQL vs MS Access

Hi again,
Many thanks for everyone who has helped me on this message board. I have a non-programming question this time.

I'm trying to convince our IT department to use SQL server, instead of MS Access, as the backend for an application form.* I need reasons why. In my experience in the past, SQL server can handle mutltiple users at once, the data is less likely to be corrupted, and it is more secure and stable. Is there anything else I'm missing? Please advise.

Thanks for chiming in,
Donna

*Background:
Right now, when students fill out the application, the data is sent via email. The email is printed and someone has to manually input the information into another system. It would be great if their efforts were streamlined by having the data in a database. That way, it can easily be uploaded into the other system. W/ SQL, queries could be written to extrapolate the data accordingly. The format could be in comma separated values or tab separated values to be easily uploaded into the other system.

MSDE is the stripped down, desktop version of SQL Server. It is basically SQL Server without the graphical tools and clustering/scaling support. It is free, redistributable, and will support up to 5 concurrent connections.

onwards and upwards...

Doesn't really sound like this use on it's own would be enough to justify sql server to be honest. Could you not get the application form to publish an xml document which could then be attached to the email before it is sent.....would be better than typing it in.

Hello,

Does any one know the code to write data to a text file on a web server using ASP?

Thanks very much, Rob

You can use a FileSystem Object, like this

<br />
Dim objFSO<br />
Dim objFile<br />
<br />
' Create the FSO Object<br />
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")<br />
<br />
' Open a file to read<br />
Set objFil = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFile, 1, True)<br />
something = objFil.ReadAll<br />
<br />
' Open a file to write<br />
Set objFil = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFile, 2, True)<br />
objFil.Write "Something"<br />
<br />
' Close the file<br />
objFile.Close<br />
<br />
Set objFile = Nothing<br />
Set objFSO = Nothing<br />
