Text Box Background Yellow at Runtime?

Folks,

I have a few text boxes that the backgrounds are set to white and appear white in the Visual Studio development widow. At runtime they appear as a brownish yellow.

What gives?

text box commands...i think

ok, so i have a textbox and 5 buttons, 4 list different things, and one is the search button...

no when i click enter, and i have text in my tetbox, the page loads, but doesnt do anything, yet when i click search the search function runs..

how do i make it so when a user hits enter on there text box, it runs that function...

Thanks, JustinPlace a simple html textbox in your form, make it hidden.

<input type="text" style="display: none;">

This way, pressing enter should submit the form.
but i dont use <form method="post" action="blabla">

Thanks, Justin
You have to have a form on your page if you're going to make the page work.

Text Box cocatenating instead of adding

When I run this line of code, I'm getting 444 instead of 12:
lblWkTotal1.text = lblSatTotal.text + lblSunTotal.text + lblMonTotal.text + lblTueTotal.text + lblWedTotal.text + lblThuTotal.text + lblFriTotal.text
If I run this line of code, I'm getting this error message: Cast from string "" to type 'Decimal' is not valid.
lblWkTotal1.text = CDec(lblSatTotal.text) + CDec(lblSunTotal.text) + CDec(lblMonTotal.text) + CDec(lblTueTotal.text) + CDec(lblWedTotal.text) + CDec(lblThuTotal.text) + CDec(lblFriTotal.text)
Any ideas how to correct the problem.
Thanks

Try changing from cDec to cDbl

Hi

Try usingCInt(TxtboxName.text).

Thanks David
When I change it to CDbl the followuing messages are generated:
[FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.]
[InvalidCastException: Cast from string "" to type 'Double' is not valid.]
Any ideas where to go from here?
Franco

David
Changing to CDbl works OK if I first set the default text to 0.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Franco

Try forcing the result to a string
textBox.Text = CStr(Cint(blah) + CInt(Blah))
or
Dim i as Int32
i = CInt(Blah) + ...
textBox.Text = i.ToString()

Text Box Control MaxLenght Property Is Not Working

Hi All,

I have developed one web application.
In that I used aspnet web textBox control.
I have set maxlength property for that text box 300 and TextMode property as
multiline .

When i typed more than 3 or 4 line each line contains 30 to 40 characters,
If i clicked button for passing textbox value, that time my web page is not
responsding (no action taken).

The same page without refereshing if i delete some characters from my
textbox.
It is working.

Can someone help me for this?

A TextBox in MultiLine mode is rendered as a TextArea HTML control. TextArea
as opposed to an Imput control does not have a maxlength property. It will
be ignored in the TextBox.

There are some 3rd party controls and projects out there that attempt to
control length with javascript for a multiline textbox. I haven't used any
of them so can't comment.

Ah yeah...

Try using a javscript function like:

function limitTextarea(textarea, maxlength) {
if (textarea.value.length > maxlength)
textarea.value = textarea.value.substring(0, maxlength);
}

and set the onchange attribute (either programatically with
textbox.attribute.add() or declaratively) on the textbox to call the
function.

text box cursor position on entry

Hi I want the cursor to align left when someone clicks in textbox.

textbox has maxlength of 7 when user clicks in text box

the cursor is at position 2 so they cant enter all 7 digits of number

without clicking home and reentering number.

It sounds to me like the textbox has some default text in it already. Otherwise, it would be at the left when they click in. Post your code so we can take a look.
As, suggested please check the Text property. By default when you click inside the TextBox is should align to the left at position "0".

add this in page_load...

sub page_load(byval sender as object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles page.load

txt1.text=""

end sub

cheers

moredotnet

thanks for the replies, I have put txtbox.text="" in page load will see what happens.

please use me.load instead of page.load

cheers

Text box Display

I don't understand the Display setting for controls such as text boxes.
I have a text box a button next to it, and then a submit button below
everything so that when the 1st button is pressed, a calendar appears
underneath it.

Becasue the submit button is below all the user input stuff, I want to
make it so that the calendar and the submit buttons are given set
positions on the screen, so that whenever I press the 1st button, my
submit button doesn't get pushed down the screen to make way for the
calendar.

I would've thought Display="Static" would do this, but I get the same
result as using Display="Dynamic". Can anybody help me out with this?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!You need to use absolute display but make sure the parent elements are all
setup - positioning elements in pixel offsets is not a very good thing to
do. Static is meant for something else and IE does not even support it.
