Open Window

[rsshetty]

Hello,

I have a rather tricky problem and I have run out of ideas.

I have a page with a datalist that has checkboxes in it. At the bottom of the page, I have an imagebutton (not part of the datalist). When the imagebutton is clicked, I need to find out the checkboxes selected by the user, add it to a session object and open a new window.

How will I be able to accomplish this?

Using client side scripting along with a server side code results in the client side executing first. My window opens before I can update my session.

Help!

Thanks.

It's always in the details.

You'll have to :

1) post the page back to the server
2) read which checkboxes were selected
3) register a function on the page to open the new window (have a look as RegisterStartUpScript for an exampel on how to do this).

You may even be able to use querystring values when opening the pop up window which would remove the need for session variables.

Would it be possible to indicate where I'd have to use the RegisterStartUpScript? Page_Load?

As of now I am capturing the list of checkboxes checked in the imagebutton_click event handler.

The flow of control is as follows:

Select Checkboxes -> Click imagebutton -> page_load -> imagebutton_click

Step 2 and 3 in your post are not in order for me.

Thanks

You would do steps 2 and 3 in the Click event of the ImageButton.

I'm guessing there is not way of accomplishing this without the page refresh.

If you want to set session variables then you have to go back to the server to set them. There is no way around that although you could use an AJAX method to avoid a full page refresh.

Alternatively, if you don't need session variables you could do all the checks client-side and pass the values to the pop-up page as querystring variables.
