Below is the javascript code which is used to add and remove div elements dynamically.Here the div tags are added in one base
div tag container.


<script>
	function AddHtmlElement()
	{
		var divElement = document.getElementById(’MYDIV’); 
		var divNumber= document.getElementById(’hiddenValue’); 
		var num = (document.getElementById(’hiddenValue’).value -1)+ 2; 
		divNumber.value = num; 
		var newdiv = document.createElement(’div’); 
		var divIdName = ’MYDIV’+num;
		newdiv.setAttribute(’id’,divIdName); 
		var divLoadedText=’Div ’+num+’ Is Added!’;	
		divElement.appendChild(newdiv);
		newdiv.innerHTML =divLoadedText+' '+'<a href=’#’ onclick=RemoveHtmlElement(’'+divIdName+'’)>Remove div ’'+divIdName+'’</a>';  
	}
	functionRemoveHtmlElement(divNum)
	{ 
		var divId = document.getElementById(’MYDIV’); 
		var childId = document.getElementById(divNum); 
		divId.removeChild(childId); 
	}
</script>

<form id='Form1' >
	<input id='hiddenValue' type='hidden' value='0'>
	<p>
		<a href='#' onclick='AddHtmlElement()'>Add Html Elements</a>

You can identify the source webpage using the document.referrer command. The document object is the page currently loaded in the browser window – presumably your Web page. The referrer property is the page the visitor was at immediately prior to visiting the current page. You can code it as,


functionIdentifySourceWebPage()
{
	if(document.referrer != ’’) 
		document.write(’You came from ’ + document.referrer); 
}

Client-side validation is enabled by default. If the client is capable, uplevel validation will be performed automatically. To disable client-side validation, set the page’s ClientTarget property to ‘Downlevel’ (‘Uplevel’ forces client-side validation). Alternatively, you can set an individual validator control’s EnableClientScript property to ‘false’ to disable client-side validation for that specific control.

<%@ Page ClientTarget=UpLevel %>
 
<html>
    <head>
        <script language="C#" runat=server>
 
            void Page_Load() 
            {
                if (!IsPostBack) 
                {
                                // Validate initially to force *s to appear before the first round-trip
                    Validate();
                }
            }
 
            void ValidateBtn_Click(Object Sender, EventArgs E) 
            {
                if (Page.IsValid == true)

A query string is an optional part of a URL that goes after the file name and begins with a questionmark.

For eg the query string will be as

http://www.sitedemo/com/home.htm?newquerystringadded.

Here querystringvalue is the newquerystringadded.

The query string can be added and it can be retrieved as shown,


<div>
	<input type=button value='AddQueryString'  
	 onClick='self.location=
	self.location.protocol+’//’
	+self.location.host
	+self.location.pathname+’?addquerystring’'>
	
	<input type=button value='ShowQueryString' 
	onClick='alert(’Query string Value: ’+self.location.search)'>

You can detect and intercept the capabilities of your client using the namespace System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities :
VB.NET


Dim browser As System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities = Request.Browser
Response.Write('Support ActiveXControl: ' + browser.ActiveXControls.ToString())

C#


System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
Response.Write ('Support ActiveXControl: ' + browser.ActiveXControls.ToString ());

You can resize a window with JavaScript using ‘window.resizeTo(valueX,valueY)’.


<script> 
function ResizeWindow()
{
	window.resizeTo(800,800);
}	
</script>	

Note also that the parameters of resizeTo() have different meaning in different browsers. In Internet Explorer the parameters specify the outer size of the window, while in Netscape Navigator they refer to the inner size (which does not include the window borders, toolbar, status bar, title bar, and the address line). The ‘window.resizeBy()’ method is slightly different than it’s ‘resizeTo()’ which changes the windows dimensions by number of pixels from it’s current size.

Html elements can be resized dynamically by using the style properties. In the below example the TextArea size is
increased dynamically on clicking the button.


<html>
	<script language=javascript>
		function resize()
		{
			document.form1.TextArea1.style.height=’600px’;
			document.form1.TextArea1.style.width=’400px’;
		}
	</script>
	<form name=form1>
		<TextArea  style='WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 200px' name='TextArea1'></TextArea>
		<input type='button' style='WIDTH: 100px; HEIGHT: 100px' name='button1'> 
	</form>
	<input type=button value='ClickMe' onclick=javascript:resize()>

To determine whether the user clicked the left or right button, you can use the following properties.

  • Event.which in Netscape Navigator
  • event.button in Internet Explorer

If the value of these properties is 1, the event occurred for the left button. In the following example, the onMouseDown event handler displays the messages Left button or Right button, depending on the mouse button you actually have clicked. The messages will appear on your browser’s status bar. Click or right-click anywhere on this page to see it work:

<html>
     <head>
		<script language='JavaScript'>
		<!--
		function mouseDown(e) 
		{
			 if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3)
			 {
				var clickType=1;
			  	if (navigator.appName=='Netscape') clickType=e.which;
				else clickType=event.button;
				if (clickType==1) 
  				{
					self.status=’Left button!’;
					alert('Left Button');
			 	}
			                if (clickType!=1)
  			 	{
			  		self.status=’Right button!’;
					alert('Right Button');
				}	
			}
		 return true;
		}
		if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3)
		{
			 document.onmousedown = mouseDown;
			 if (navigator.appName=='Netscape') 
			  document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
		}

	alert(’FunctionExists’)
}
if( window.CheckIfExists)

The RegisterStartupScript method emits the script just before the closing tag of the Page object’s <form runat= server> element.

VB.NET


RegisterStartupScript('Sample', '<SCRIPT Language=’javascript’>alert(’Hello World’);</SCRIPT>')

C#


RegisterStartupScript('Sample', '<SCRIPT Language=’javascript’>alert(’Hello World’);</SCRIPT>');

Alternatively, use the RegisterClientScriptBlock method which emits the client-side script just after the opening tag of the Page object’s <form runat= server> element.

In order to avoid the Form Submission by pressing the ’Enter Key’ you have to write following code on the KeyPress Event Of the Body Tag

function DisableEnterKey()
{
     if (window.event.keyCode == 13) 
    {
        event.returnValue=false; 
                    event.cancel = true;

There is no predefined trim function available. The function written below is used to Trim white spaces.


//Trim Function
function LTrim(str)
{
	var whitespace = new String(' \t\n\r');
	var s = new String(str);
	if (whitespace.indexOf(s.charAt(0)) != -1)
	{
		var j=0, i = s.length;
	 	while (j < i && whitespace.indexOf(s.charAt(j)) != -1)
		j++;
		s = s.substring(j, i);
    	}
	return s;
}

function RTrim(str)
{
	var whitespace = new String(' \t\n\r');
	var s = new String(str);
	 if (whitespace.indexOf(s.charAt(s.length-1)) != -1) 
	 {
		var i = s.length - 1;      
		while (i >= 0 && whitespace.indexOf(s.charAt(i)) != -1)
		i--;
		s = s.substring(0, i+1);
	 }
	 return s;
}

function Trim(str)
{
	return RTrim(LTrim(str));

It can be done by checking the read only property navigator.cookieEnabled. navigator.cookieEnabled will give the value true/false based on the browser support for cookies.


functionCookieEnabled() 
{ 
	if(navigator.cookieEnabled)
	{
		alert('Cookie Enabled');
	}

We can use navigator.appName property, to identify the browser we are using .For Netscape browsers, the value of navigator.appName is ‘Netscape’. For Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers,the value of navigator.appName is ‘Microsoft Internet Explorer’ .

The following code is used for browser detection.

function BrowserDetect()
{

                document.write(’navigator.appName = ’+navigator.appName+’
’)
	document.write(’navigator.userAgent = ’+navigator.userAgent+’
’)

	if ((navigator.userAgent).indexOf('Opera')!=-1)
	{
 		document.write('You are using an Opera browser.')
	}
	else if (navigator.appName=='Netscape') 
	{
 		document.write('You are using a Netscape browser.')
	}
	else if ((navigator.appName).indexOf('Microsoft')!=-1) 
	{
		 document.write('You are using Microsoft Internet Explorer.')
	}

Here is a technique usable in IE Only


	var fso=new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
	function ShowFilesIn(path) // path could be 'C:\Test' for example.
	{
		if(fso.FolderExists(path))
		{
			ShowFiles(fso.GetFolder(path)); 
		}  
	}

	function ShowFiles(folderpath)
	{
		var objFso = new Enumerator(folderpath.Files);
		for(i=0;!objFso.atEnd();objFso.moveNext())
		{
			alert(objFso.item().name);
		}

When you show a modal dialog the window remains on top of other windows until the user explicitly closes it.


window.showModalDialog('Test.html','dialogWidth:400px; dialogHeight:225px; status:no; center:yes');

When you show a modeless dialog the window remains on top of other windows, but you can still access the other windows.


window.showModelessDialog('Test.html','dialogWidth:400px; dialogHeight:225px; status:no; center:yes');

Code Behind


Button1.Attributes.Add('onclick', 'getMessage()')

Client Side


<SCRIPT language=javascript>
function getMessage() 
{ 
var ans; 
ans=window.confirm(’Is it your confirmation.....?’); 

if (ans==true) 
	{ 
		document.Form1.hdnbox.value=’Yes’; 
	} 
else 
	{ 
		document.Form1.hdnbox.value=’No’;} 
	} 
</SCRIPT> 

To display the Yes/No value selected by user, in your code behind file:


Response.Write(Request.Form('hdnbox'))

  1. In the body tag, add runat=’server’ and give the tag an id (e.g. id=’bodyID’).
  2. In the class definition in the code-behind, add
    VB.NET

    
    Protected bodyID As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl
    

    C#

    
    protected  System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl bodyID  ;
    
  3. In code, use the attributes collection to set the bgcolor attribute:
    VB.NET

    
    bodyID.Attributes.Add('bgcolor', 'green')
    

    C#

    
    bodyID.Attributes.Add('bgcolor', 'green');

Extract from MSDN :


You are encouraged to read the script to see more of what is going on. However, it is not recommended that you modify these scripts, because their function is very closely tied to a particular version of the run time. If the run time is updated, the scripts may need a corresponding update, and you will have to either lose your changes or face problems with the scripts not working. If you must change the scripts for a particular project, take a copy of the files and point your project to them by overriding the location of the files with a private web.config file.It is perfectly fine to change this location to be a relative or absolute reference.

For more details refer ASP.NET Validation in Depth

All Objects in JavaScript implicitly support hash table like syntax by virtue of behaving as Associative Arrays. Properties of an object can be accessed in 2 ways as shown below:


object.property = value;
object['property'] = value;

So, when used in a hash table like syntax as shown above, you will be simply creating dynamic properties and assigning values to those properties.
