Ok so I am very new to html and the web. Right now I am trying to generate
list items on the fly and then have them post back to the web server so I know what the person is trying to obtain.
Here is the code for generating the
list items:
foreach (var item in dataList) {
MyDataList.InnerHtml += "<li><a runat='server' onclick='li_Click' id='" + item.Name + "-button'></a></li>";
}
Further down I have my click event.
protected void li_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
//How do I determine here which item was actually clicked?
}
My question is how do I determine which
list item was clicked?
Btw, the code running behind is C#.
EDIT 1
LinkButton link = new LinkButton();
link.ID = "all-button";
link.Text = "All";
link.Click += new EventHandler(link_Click);
MyDataList.Controls.Add(link);
Then below I have my link_Click event that never seems to hit a breakpoint.
void link_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (sender != null) {
if (sender.GetType() == typeof(LinkButton)) {
LinkButton button = (LinkButton)sender;
if (button.ID == "all-button") {
}
}
}
}
I know this has to be possible I just cant figure out what I am missing.
Edit 2
Ok ok I think I know what the problem is. I was trying to add a second
list inside
of another
list. This was causing the whole thing to have problems. It is working now.
