Hi,

      I am having problem as follows.

      I am using Lable variable (asp:label) in a page which is having a master page.Label looks like as follows

<asp:Label ID="mylabel" runat="server"></asp:Label>

..... 

         In the code behind file I am assinging some value to the label as follows

      page_load()

{

mylabel.text=100.ToString();//this value comes at runtime

}

Now I want to access this value of label "mylabel" in the javascript and then i want to add some value (will be some interger of double value) and again display that value to the "mylabel".Please help me in how to do this?.suppose i want to get this functionality agains a button click event on client side.Waiting for the help................

Thanks,

nmeighty.

<button onclick="functioname()" .... />

<script type="text/javascript">
function functionname()
{

var label =  document.getElementById("mylabel");

label.text = ....;

}
</script>

 I think this will work, i m not sure if it is label.text or label.value to assign the value,

Hope this helps

As far as getting the value of your label into javascript, ysoldati is right, you can just use:

var labelValue = document.getElementById('mylabel.ClientID').value;

But if you want to send that value back to that server side control, you're going to have to save it to some control (the label may work, I'm not sure, if not you can use a hidden field) and then trigger a post back.  During the post back you can read the value of the label/hidden field and then update the label so the user can see the new value.

Hope that wasn't confusing, good luck. 

Hi,

     Thanks you very much for the reply.....and sorry for the late response...actually i was trying different things....Ahhh I forgot onething to mention that I want to get value from a label which is hidden i mean like below

<asp:Label ID="totalcharge" runat="server"></asp:Label> (we will assgn value to this label after some addition through javascript code) 

<asp:Label ID="mytotalhidden" runat="server" Visible="false"></asp:Label>(we will get value from this label to add something)

Now the problem is like when I use to access value from the mytotalhidden then i get java script error like 'object expected'.I am using following code to assign values to  the mytoalhidden and then i use to display them in the alert.here is the code

page_load()

}

then in javascript code i am proceeding as follows

alert('value: '+txt);//to check what i am getting which is alway null

document.getElementById('<%=totalcharge.ClientID%>').innerHTML = txt;

 waiting for reply

Thanks,

nmeighty.

When you declare something as Visible="false" then there is no client-side HTML generated for that object, so your javascript will never be able to see it.  If you want a hidden field to store information in, then you should use a...well, a hidden field haha.  It looks like:

<input type="hidden" id="mytotalhidden" runat="server" />

Then you can access it in javascript using    document.getElementById('<%=mytotalhidden.ClientID%>').value; (you can access it in code-behind by using .value as well)

Also, as a side note, I don't think you need the "this" keyword in order to use your totalcharge control in page_load.

Hope this helps. 

Hi ,

         Thanks you so much for the reply.Yes I am able to achive the Functionality.I am marking your Reply as answer.........Please can any one guide me of the problem as below.

         In the same page I am also using a table to display some prices.I use to generate this table dynamically in the code behind of the aspx page.Here is the code which server sends to the client side

   <table width="95%" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center">

        <tr>
       
            <td valign="top" class="TableBorder1">
           
                 <table id="ctl00_contentMain_priceTable" class="Table" border="0" style="width:100%;">
 <tr id="ctl00_contentMain_TableHeaderRow13">
  <th id="ctl00_contentMain_TableHeaderCell1" class="HeaderStyle33" colspan="6">Price Details</th>
 </tr><tr id="ctl00_contentMain_TableRow1">
  <td id="ctl00_contentMain_TableCell1"><span id="ctl00_contentMain_Labelins"><table id="mytable"  width="500px" bordercolor="black" ><tr><td><b>Description</b></td><td><b>Quantity</b></td><td><b>Unit Price</b></td><td><b>Extended Price</b></td></tr><tr><td width="200px">Adult Price</td><td>1</td><td>199.00</td><td><strong>&pound;199</strong></td></tr></br><tr><td width="200px">Price Adjustment</td><td>1</td><td>-35.00</td><td><strong>&pound;-35</strong></td></tr></br><tr><td width="200px">Other Charges</td><td></td><td></td><td><strong>&pound;86.90</strong></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td><hr/></td></tr><tr><td width="200px">Total</td><td></td><td></td><td><strong>&pound;250.90</strong></td></tr></table></span></td>
 </tr>
</table>

you can see 250.90 in the third last line.this price also comes at runtime(Now the problem is how can i use some variable or something else to reference this value becuse it can be 344 ,300 etc) .Now I want to change it to the same value i will calculate using javascript value.i-e

In java script I will get the value from hidden input and then will proceed as follows

alert('value: '+txt);//to check what i am getting which is alway null

document.getElementById('<%=totalcharge.ClientID%>').innerHTML = txt;

now i want to get the position of 250.90 and replace with the value of txt variable .

Please help .....

Thanks,

I'm not sure if this is the best solution or not, but one idea that comes to mind is to store the price value that you want to be able to update in some variable or control, and then add that value into your table using <%=whatever%>

That way you could use javascript to update "whatever" to anything you need, and it will be placed back into the table on a post back. 

Hi,

    Thanks again.Is there any way to change the price of this span using javascript? you can see that the price is currently 250.90.I want to access this and then change the value after calculating ... 

<span id="ctl00_contentMain_Search_lblSearch"><br><b>Date: </b> 03 January, 2008<br><b>Total Price: </b> &pound;250.90<br></span>

Thanks,

nmeighty.

 put the price in a label. give it an id and you should be able to acces it from js.

something like 

<span id="ctl00_contentMain_Search_lblSearch">

    <br>

     <b>Date: </b> 03 January, 2008

     <br>

     <b>Total Price: </b> &pound;

    <label id="myLabel" value="250.90"/><br>

</span>

i think you example is too complicated 

Hi,

      Yes you are very much right in saying the example is too much complex.Now I will try to make the scenerio more clear.I needed to generate a table at runtime in the code behind of some file say "myfile.aspx".Now i use to generate the table as follows

I used a label with ID "lab" and then in that label i used to do as follows

lab.Text="<table id=\"mytable\" width=\"500px\" bordercolor=\"black\" ><tr><td><b>Description</b></td><td><b>Quantity</b></td><td><b>Unit Price</b></td><td><b>Extended Price</b></td></tr>";

lab.Text += "<td width=\"200px\">" + CommonFunctions.ToTitleCase(d.Description) + "</td><td>" + d.Quantity + "</td><td>" + d.UnitCost.ToString("0.00") + "</td>" + "<td><strong>&pound;" + d.ExtendedCost;

lab.Text += "<td width=\"200px\">" + "Other Charges" + "</td><td></td><td></td>" + "<td><strong>&pound;" + othercharges.ToString("0.00");

lab.Text = lab.Text + "<tr>";

lab.Text += "</table>";

Now this is the line where i need to insert label .Now how can i do that??third last line of the code

lab.Text += "<td width=\"200px\">" + "Total" + "</td><td></td><td></td>" + "<td><strong>&pound;" + grandtotal.ToString("0.00");//

Thanks,

nmeighty.

To insert your label/field/whatever into your line you would just use:

lab.Text += "<td width=\"200px\">" + "Total" + "</td><td></td><td></td>" + "<td><strong>&pound;" + myhiddentotal.value;

or replace myhiddentotal.value with whatever control you may be using (myTotalLabel.Text, etc)

Hope this helps. 

Hi,

      It will not solve the problem,because it will only insert the value at the position below

lab.Text += "<td width=\"200px\">" + "Total" + "</td><td></td><td></td>" + "<td><strong>&pound;" + myhiddentotal.value;

    .However I want to change that value using javascript .However i have tried to use as below

lab.Text += "<td width=\"200px\">" + "Total" + "</td><td></td><td></td>" + "<td><strong>&pound;<asp:Label runat=\"server\" Value="+grandtotal.Tostring("0.00")+" ID=\"Totalamount\" ></asp:Label>";

but its also not working..

Thanks,

nmeighty.

All of this code is executed in the code-behind (I.E. during a postback) the only time lab.Text is going to be updated with your new values is when you post back to the server via something like a button click.  Theres a way to call a post back from javascript too, but I'm not very familiar with the code, just do a search for __dopostback or javascript post back and you should find plenty of threads on the forum about it.

Hi,

     Yes I think I need to learn some more javascript and also will need to change the coding.Thanks you very much for all the help you have done so far.Thanks to all

Thanks,

Hi,

     I have to use javascript its the requirement...no worries..and i cant use gridview in the current scenerio.I have used some label and span variables and hopefully i will be able to get the desired results.

Hi,

    Okay lets hava a scenerio that we hava list of prices at runtime from database.there can be any number of prices may be 2,3,4,5,and so on...> Now we we need to display them at run time in a good format.Now I got the logic to generate a table at runtime in the codebehind file of mypage.aspx.So i did the above thing.Also the same total is represendted at 3 different locations of the page. One in the dynamically generated table,second in some usercontrol and the third one is a simple label.Now I have a button.When user clicks on that button then i need to change values at all the 3 locations.....

Thanks,

nmeighty.
