simulate button click

Origin source:http://www.issociate.de/board/index.php?t=msg&rid=0&th=66055&goto=330723#msg_330723 Also, see ALWAYS ON TOP LINKS MENU http://sivamdesign.com/scripts/navigate.html I have message entry screen that's causing me a bit of an issue. At the moment, there are 2 buttons, one is used to send message to another user (btnSend) and another is used to send messages to all users (btnSendAll). When user hits enter, I also simulate the effect of clicking button (btnSend). However, what I found btnSend doesn't fire (unless I click on the button). The postback function I call is as follows: function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) { var theform; if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("netscape") > -1) { theform = document.forms["Form1"]; } else { theform = document.Form1; } theform.submit(); } The script used to cause a postback is as follows: <script language="javascript"> var mykey; var posted=false; if (window.Event){ document.captureEvents(Event.KEYDOWN); } document.onkeydown = myKeyDown; function myKeyDown(e){ if (window.Event){ mykey = e.which; } else{ mykey = event.keyCode; } //alert(mykey); if ((mykey==13) && (posted==false)) { posted=true; __doPostBack('btnSend:','onclick'); } } </script> I think my problem is either not specifying eventTarget or eventArgument correctly. Can someone please give a pointer on this. Many thanx

RE: postback simulating button click [message #222721 ] Mi, 13 Oktober 2004 10:35 EthemAzun   Hi CW, I don't understand the requirement to catch the postback event on the client side. Anyway, what you can try is to "click" on the button like this inside the myKeyDown manually: bntSend.click(); Define your button as a submit button, then it will automatically postback and you don't have to catch the postback event. In any case, why don't you use an asp:button? Hope this helps, Ethem "CW" wrote: > I have message entry screen that's causing me a bit of an issue.

RE: postback simulating button click [message #222742 ] Mi, 13 Oktober 2004 12:00 v-schang   Hi CW, Are you wanting to provide a function just like the "Default Button" in winform application? If so, generally we can just add the "onkeydown" script for the entryfield where the user will enter messages before he submit. Here are some former threads in the newsgroup discussing on this qustion, you may have a look: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=25ZlQYfSEH A.2988%40cpmsftn gxa10.phx.gbl&rnum=6&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dasp.net%2Bdefault%2B button%2Bsteven% 2Bcheng%26hl%3Den http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=x8Tmqg83DH A.1992%40cpmsftn gxa07.phx.gbl&rnum=8&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dasp.net%2Bdefault%2B button%2Bsteven% 2Bcheng%26hl%3Den Hope helps.

Re: postback simulating button click [message #238655 ] Mi, 13 Oktober 2004 14:13 CW   They are asp.net buttons actually. I need to catch enter so that it would have the same behaviour on different browsers, not just IE. btnSend.click works on IE, but does not work on Netscape or Mozilla.

Re: postback simulating button click [message #259250 ] Mi, 13 Oktober 2004 18:00 EthemAzun   or document.forms["Form1"].bntSend.click() or even document.forms[0].bntSend.click() ? it quite weird if they don't work either. Can you take a look at your html output to see the id of the button if the ones above don't work?

Re: postback simulating button click [message #324627 ] Do, 14 Oktober 2004 08:30 v-schang   Hi CW, I think you can have a try on Jeremy's suggestion that use the document.getElementById method to locate the submit button object. I suspect that the problem is the submit button object is not located. The Submit button's click() simiulate method is implement in javascript1.0 so I think it should be support by netscape's early version. Also, here is another blog article maybe helpful: #Setting the default Button for a TextBox in ASP.NET http://weblogs.asp.net/rajbk/archive/2003/12/11/43023.aspx Thanks.

Re: postback simulating button click [message #330723 ] Do, 14 Oktober 2004 11:46 CW   Hi everyone Thanks for all the suggestions and help. I managed to get it work after abandoning button.click() method. Eveutally, I was able to get button.click to work, however, I had to modify the code to use document.Form1.button.click() or document.forms["Form1"].button.click(). For some reason, not specifying document specifier causes the code not to run on NS browsers.
