Need help in implementing
the affect of
the WRITE A NEW POST
On stackoverflow.com
<%--The editor--%
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel7" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<div id="textchanging" onkeyup="textoftextbox('TextBox3'); return false;">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server" CausesValidation="True"
></asp:TextBox>
</div>
<%-- OnTextChanged="textoftextbox('TextBox3'); return false;"
gives too man literals error.
--%>
<asp:Button ID="Button6" runat="server" Text="Post
The Comment,
The New, Write on Wall"
onclick="Button6_Click" />
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox4" runat="server" CausesValidation="True"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Literal ID="Literal2" runat="server" Text="this must change"
here comes
the div
<div id="displayingarea" runat="server">This area will change</div>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<%--The editor ends--%>
protected void Button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ Label3.Text = displayingarea.InnerHtml;
}
As you see, I have implemented
the effect of typing text in textbox which appears as a reflection in
the div WITH FULLY FORMATTED TEXT ACCORDIG TO
THE HTML TAGS USED
The textbox does not allow html! Well
the text box doesnot have too, script just extracts what is typed,
within letting
the server know.
The html of
the div tag also changes as typed in textbox.
Now,
There is a “post” button
within an update plane a avoid full post back of page
What I needis when
the button is clicked on
the value withing
the div tag “innerhtml” is passed on to
the label.
Yes I know
the chnages are only made on
the client side,
So when
the button click event occurs
the server is not aware of
the new data
within the div tag,
Therefore
the server assign
the original html withing
the div to
the lab.
Need help to overcome this,
How is it that what we enter text in
the textbox press
the button with coding like label1.text=textbox1.text; and it works even in update panel, but
the aabove code for extracting innerhtml typed at users end similar to yping in textbox does not work?
