Calling client-sdie vbscript function in server control

meckeard · Jul 20, 2004

Can this be done?

I have a datagrid that allows for edits. When the record in question populates with the data and the customer moves from a particular asp:TextBox, I want to call a client-side vbscript function that does some calculations.

If not, I can go with javascript. But it's internal to the company and we use on IE, so compatability is not an issue.

Thanks.

You can add an attribute to the textbox for the event you wish to fire the function:

txtMyBox.Attributes.Add("onblur", "vbscript:SomeFunction()");

etc...

For adding this to the edit items of a datagrid, you'll need to add them in the OnItemDataBound event of the datagrid, and only when the ItemType == ListItemType.EditItem:

~~~~
switch(e.Item.ItemType)
{
case ListItemType.EditItem:
//Add your attributes here by referencing the objects
// directly
TextBox txtMyBox = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtMyBox");
txtMyBox.Attributes.Add("onblur", "vbscript:SomeFunction()");
break;
}//switch
~~~~
