I'm working on an ASP.NET web app where I'm using a Wizard to take the client through a large series of steps.
One of the steps includes calculating a bunch of numbers on the fly... the numbers calculate properly but when I click "next" and then go back again... some of the numbers are not retained.
Here is the calculation function
function CalculateFields() {
txtSellingPrice = document.getElementById('<%=txtSellingPrice.ClientID %>');
txtBalanceSheet = document.getElementById('<%=txtBalanceSheet.ClientID %>');
txtDownPayment = document.getElementById('<%=txtDownPayment.ClientID %>');
txtSusEarn = document.getElementById('<%=txtSusEarn.ClientID %>');
txtSusRev = document.getElementById('<%=txtSusRev.ClientID %>');
txtBalanceMult = document.getElementById('<%=txtBalanceMult.ClientID %>');
txtGoodwillMult = document.getElementById('<%=txtGoodwillMult.ClientID %>');
txtSellingPriceMult = document.getElementById('<%=txtSellingPriceMult.ClientID %>');
txtGoodWill = document.getElementById('<%=txtGoodWill.ClientID %>');
txtBalance = document.getElementById('<%=txtBalance.ClientID %>');
chkTakeBack = document.getElementById('<%=chkTakeBack.ClientID %>');
txtVendorTakeBackPercentage = document.getElementById('<%=txtVendorTakeBackPercentage.ClientID %>');
txtSusEarnPercentage = document.getElementById('<%=txtSusEarnPercentage.ClientID %>');
txtBalanceMultPercentage = document.getElementById('<%=txtBalanceMultPercentage.ClientID %>');
txtGoodwillMultPercentage = document.getElementById('<%=txtGoodwillMultPercentage.ClientID %>');
txtSellingPriceMultPercentage = document.getElementById('<%=txtSellingPriceMultPercentage.ClientID %>');
var regexp = /[$,]/g;
//Empty value checks
SellingPrice = (SellingPrice == "" ? "$0" : SellingPrice);
BalanceSheet = (BalanceSheet == "" ? "$0" : BalanceSheet);
DownPayment = (DownPayment == "" ? "$0" : DownPayment);
susearn = (susearn == "" ? "$0" : susearn);
susrev = (susrev == "" ? "$0" : susrev);
balmult = (balmult == "" ? "$0" : balmult);
goodmult = (goodmult == "" ? "$0" : goodmult);
sellmult = (sellmult == "" ? "$0" : sellmult);
//Replace $ with String.Empty
SellingPrice = txtSellingPrice.value.replace(regexp, "");
BalanceSheet = txtBalanceSheet.value.replace(regexp, "");
DownPayment = txtDownPayment.value.replace(regexp, "");
susearn = txtSusEarn.value.replace(regexp, "");
susrev = txtSusRev.value.replace(regexp, "");
balmult = txtBalanceMult.value.replace(regexp, "");
goodmult = txtGoodwillMult.value.replace(regexp, "");
sellmult = txtSellingPriceMult.value.replace(regexp, "");
//Set the new values
txtGoodWill.value = "$" + (SellingPrice - BalanceSheet);
txtBalance.value = "$" + (SellingPrice - DownPayment);
txtSellingPriceMult.value = "$" + SellingPrice;
txtGoodwillMult.value = "$" + (SellingPrice - BalanceSheet);
txtBalanceMult.value = "$" + BalanceSheet;
if (chkTakeBack.checked == 1) {
txtVendorTakeBackPercentage.value = Math.round((SellingPrice - DownPayment) / SellingPrice * 100);
}
else {
txtVendorTakeBackPercentage.value = "0";
}
if (!(susearn == "") && !(susearn == "0") && !(susearn == "$0")) {
txtSusEarnPercentage.value = Math.round(susearn / susrev * 100);
txtBalanceMultPercentage.value = Math.round(balmult / susearn);
txtGoodwillMultPercentage.value = Math.round(goodmult / susearn);
txtSellingPriceMultPercentage.value = Math.round(sellmult / susearn);
}
else {
txtSusEarnPercentage.value = "0";
txtBalanceMultPercentage.value = "0";
txtGoodwillMultPercentage.value = "0";
txtSellingPriceMultPercentage.value = "0";
}
}
all of these calculate properly and retain their value across postbacks
txtGoodWill.value = "$" + (SellingPrice - BalanceSheet);
txtBalance.value = "$" + (SellingPrice - DownPayment);
txtSellingPriceMult.value = "$" + SellingPrice;
txtGoodwillMult.value = "$" + (SellingPrice - BalanceSheet);
txtBalanceMult.value = "$" + BalanceSheet;
These ones however do not retain their value across postbacks
if (chkTakeBack.checked == 1) {
txtVendorTakeBackPercentage.value = Math.round((SellingPrice - DownPayment) / SellingPrice * 100);
}
else {
txtVendorTakeBackPercentage.value = "0";
}
if (!(susearn == "") && !(susearn == "0") && !(susearn == "$0")) {
txtSusEarnPercentage.value = Math.round(susearn / susrev * 100);
txtBalanceMultPercentage.value = Math.round(balmult / susearn);
txtGoodwillMultPercentage.value = Math.round(goodmult / susearn);
txtSellingPriceMultPercentage.value = Math.round(sellmult / susearn);
}
else {
txtSusEarnPercentage.value = "0";
txtBalanceMultPercentage.value = "0";
txtGoodwillMultPercentage.value = "0";
txtSellingPriceMultPercentage.value = "0";
}
The txtVendorTakeBackPercentage
always comes back BLANK
and the other three always come back as 0
I'm firing these functions by using the onkeyup
event within the form fields.
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
txtSellingPrice.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "CalculateFields()")
txtBalanceSheet.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "CalculateFields()")
txtDownPayment.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "CalculateFields()")
txtSusRev.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "CalculateFields()")
txtSusEarn.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "CalculateFields()")
End If
any thoughts/help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
