What have you tried?

Ala'aldin Alzu'bi 27-Aug-11 5:30am

where you need to add the DIV? on the page or inside a specific control?

Solution 2

If you want it to do in Javascript then use createElement()

have a look on the example

function addDiv(innertext) 
{
      var r  = document.createElement('Div');
      r.style.height="20px";
      r.style.width="25px";
      r.appendChild(innertext);
}

this will add a div on the page. If you want to add this in a specific control then use can use

document.getElementById('specific control name').createElement('Div');

C#

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GenerateControls();
    }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    private void GenerateControls()
    {
        if (Session["divCount"] != null)
        {
            int divID = (int)Session["divCount"];

            for (int i = 0; i < divID; i++)
            {
                HtmlGenericControl divYogesh = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
                divYogesh.Attributes.Add("class", "myClass");
                divYogesh.Attributes.Add("id", (i + 1).ToString());

                pnlYogesh.Controls.Add(divYogesh);
            }
        }
    }

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Session["divCount"] == null)
            Session["divCount"] = 1;
        else
        {
            int divID = (int)Session["divCount"];
            divID++;
            Session["divCount"] = divID;
        }

Neema Derakhshan 21-Aug-14 2:23am

it's a

that you can put it anywhere on your form

Solution 3

ASP.NET

<asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server" groupingtext="Nodes" height="100%">
    <div id="mydiv" align="left" style="width: 170px; text-align: top; overflow: auto; height: 100%;<br mode=" hold=" />                                min-height: 100%;">
        <asp:treeview runat="server" id="treesiteMap" onselectednodechanged="SiteMapTree_SelectedNodeChanged">
            Style="text-align: left; margin-left: 0; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0;
            padding-right: auto; position: static" meta:resourcekey="treesiteMapResource1">

You can add it into your panel or other control...

example:

=> in markup/asp.net

<asp:panel id="TestPanel" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

=> in code behind

CSS

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl newdiv = System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl

newdiv.style.height="200px";
newdiv.style.width="250px";

TestPanel.Control.Add(newdiv);

Solution 5

you should add a asp panel in your html like "pnlYogesh"
and then :

C#

HtmlGenericControl divYogesh = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
divYogesh.Attributes.Add("class","myClass");

pnlYogesh.Controls.Add(divYogesh);

css :

CSS

.myClass
{
  width:100px;
  height:100px;
}

Hi.. I tried your code. Its working fine for single instance but when I'm trying to add multiple divs it simply doesn't work. I'm using a button to add dynamic divs. When I click for the first time it adds that div to the panel and when I click it again, it doesn't add another div to the same panel. Can you please resolve my issue? Thanks..

Edited for "pre" Tag.

hitech_s 27-Aug-11 3:39am

what "edited for pre tag"?

Christoph Keller 27-Aug-11 7:14am

That means that RaisKazi improved your solution by adding a "pre" tag around your code. This was just a readability improvement. You could do this by yourself when you write a post on CodeProject by surrounding any code you paste with a <pre> tag.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day,
Chris
