text box misbehaviour

Hi

I have a text box which provides a parameter for a query which does a search against a database. the text will be populated on load. But if I edit the text box like say add a few letters then the search is not working. So I did the search by doing the test query feature of the wizard giving the exact parameter value ,it gave me the results. So I went back again and deleted everything upto the first first letter and manually re-entered the parameter in the textbox and searched this time I got the results. Seems like there is some hidden values in the TextBox which I have to delete manually . Has anyone come across a situation like this . Please advice how to solve this behaviour.

Thanks

How are you pre populating the textbox?

<asp:TextBox id="foo" runat="server">bla bla bla </asp:TextBox>

or

<asp:TextBox id="foo" runat="server" Text="bla bla bla" />

Note how the first way leads to a phantom space in your textbox...

I am populating it from a dataRow cell.

building1TextBox.Text = BuildingAddressTable[0].BuildingAddress;

What do you think

Thanks

hmm.

What does the Text property look like if you view it in the debugger when it is assigned to your parameter collection? Do you seen any phantom characters?

maybe something like this

building1TextBox.Text = Trim(BuildingAddressTable[0].BuildingAddress);

or

building1TextBox.Text = BuildingAddressTable[0].BuildingAddress.ToString().Trim();

not sure about the syntax - could be just .Trim()

This will trim whitespace from the beginning and end of the specified string.

text selection problem

hi

I have a page full of panels!!! and I have a problem to select text in my pages. when I try to select a part of text, the whole text will select. what should I do with this problem. I have found some other websites that have exactly this problem, for examplehttp://www.elkjop.no/

Select as in select the text with the mouse on the page that is displayed in the browser? If not, can you please give a bit more detail?
yes. when a user want to select the text with his mouse, then the whole page text will select. no matter he drag the mouse on one word or one sentence or...

It has nothing to do with your code. The problem is either with how the browser you're using handles text selection or how you actually try to select the text.

By the way, I have no trouble selecting only the text I want from the website you mentioned.

Hiashk1860,

When I select text on the website you gave, there is no problem as you said.

It may be your browser's problem or other things.

HTH

yes

I used IE 6 and have selection problem but not with firefox and opera. but why??

But I check it out using IE7 and there is no problem. So it's not web site problem, it's your browser's problem.

Text Structure

Hi

I am in the middle of writing a form which takes a description of a product and saves it to a memo field in Access. However if this description has two or more paragraphs before it is saved to the databse, when it comes out again, it has lost the paragraphs and is just one lump of text.

Does anyone know how you go about retaining the structure of the text? Does the code have to check for paragrapgh and instert the <p> tags?

Thank you in davance for any tip you may have.You can do two things, put the paragraph in an asp:textbox / textarea, or surround the paragraph with <pre></pre>, which tells the browser not to mess with the formatting.
Thanks Michael your help is much appreciated.

Simple when you know how!
Hi,

You may use strMemo.Replace( Environment.NewLine, "<br>" )

Textbox - enter value and display record in FormView

Hi:

I would like to have user enter a value in the text box and have a record shown in the FormView. I know how to do it with the dropdown list showing the values but the list would be too long to display. I onder to find a record I would need to have user type it in. The field to seach on is a unique (key) field.

CAn you suggest a method?

Thanks.

It is exactly the same, except that you will need a submit button

<asp:TextBox id="txt1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button OnClick="submit" Text="Submit" runat="server" />

and on postback

Sub submit(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
re-bind using this query "SELECT * FROM SomeTable Where ID = " & txt1.Text
End Sub

Is this what u mean?

I think he just want to know the TextChange event on TextBox.you can use this to show you record in FormView.but this textchange event i think prefer for Asp.net Ajax enabled website.i also think there is one event name like textbox lose focus,you can found this.

you mean onBlur (maybe OnServerChange?)

Anyway... I'm pissed of cause I had 199 points and now I have only 195 miserable points... somethign stinks in here!!!

kidding,

Hi:

Thanks for your advise. I tried few things as follows:

1) I created a textbox txt1 and a button

2) I placed controls in the Ajax update panel

3) I added formview based on the query and added a parameter as follow: (permit# is my search field and my key)

<asp:SqlDataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnectionString %>"

SelectCommand="SELECT [PermitNo], [TaskId], [ProjectManagerId], [OnSiteFirstName] FROM [Permits] where PermitNo = @.PermitNo">

<SelectParameters>

<asp:ControlParameterControlID="txt1"Name="PermitNo"PropertyName="Text"/>

</SelectParameters>

</asp:SqlDataSource>

So, when I type Permit number in my box it runs a query and show my record in formview.

This works perfectly. But I need to write something so it will test for "not found" so I could display message "Record not found". Do you have any ideas how I can do it? I use C# but possibly I can do it with ASP??

I would appreciate your assistance.

FormView lets u define a template for "no data"

<emptydatatemplate>
No records available.
</emptydatatemplate>

More info at:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.formview.emptydatatemplate(VS.80).aspx

Regards,
Mauro

Yes, thank so much for your help. I got this working!!!!

It is Friday afternoon - I will check it on Monday - but I am sure it will work! Thanks for all your assistance .

Hi Again;

What I need to learn, it is simple to understand. By following code, I want
to get data from XML into textbox via XmlDataSource.

<asp:XmlDataSource Id="m_ChXmlDataSource" runat="server"

</asp:XmlDataSource
..
..
..
<asp:TextBox ID="m_ChAliasTextBox" CssClass="ChTextBox" Runat="server"
Width="100%" /
XML source is;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <root xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql">
<Ch_Hm_Vw_MenuItem Id="1" Alias="Administration" />
<Ch_Hm_Vw_MenuItem Id="2" Alias="Users & Groups" />
