Passing values from a child window

hi all,
I have a parent window default.aspx which has a textbox(txtBox1) with
multiline property and a button.when the button is clicked a child
window pops up child.aspx.
I have four textboxes in child.aspx and a submit button.What I want to
happen is when I click the submit button all the values must be
displayed in the multiline textbox in a table format with header and
the values below or any formatted display with headers.
I am using,
window.opener.documents.forms[0].txtBox1.value method to pass the
values.
can anybody help me to fix the values from the child window to the
parent window in a formatted display.I have been trying this for a day.
thanksHello ssrivani@.gmail.com,
From what I understood, after opening the child window and filling in the ch
ild form, you want to be able to:
1- Format the form field values in an html table.
2- copy the resulting html to the opening window and have it inserted into t
he multi line text field.
Try the attached files and see if it works for you.

Passing Variables

Hi. I need to be able to pass a few variables on a button click to refill a
form on a new page. I am using a few textbox's but when the button is
clicked the values are lost - I am convinced that these variables are being
disposed - but why? - and how can I fix it.

thanks
JamesAnd make sure you're not resetting the values in your Page_Load by testing
for !IsPostBack before initializing any values. Keep in mind that Page_Load
runs before your button event.

Check that EnableViewState is set to True in the page directive.

James,
Yes as Dale states, it's important to check you're not wiping out your
hard work in the Page_Load event! But make sure the order of your
events is right too, use the Trace to check, but as a rule of thumb,
try and do all page specific stuff in the PreRender event.

passing variables between pages

I have a web app that searches a database and returns a datagrid table.
the user inputs the search terms into a textbox. The user selects the
info he wants and it sends him to a 2nd page, after another selection
it goes to a 3rd page. I have been able to pass the search term in my
textbox back and forth to all the pages using Context.items. Now the
user may click a button that is supposed to take him back to the first
page and reload the original datagrid. How do I get the variable
containing the search terms from the 3rd page back to the 1st page and
automatically perform the search or is there another way to recall the
datagrid? thanks.Why won't you put it in a session variable?

You could session variables (as already mentioned), you could still use
context items provided you know what the originating page was (ie. the fact
it came from the 3rd page). You could use an argument in the URL/query
string to set this. You could also save his info to a database, and use the
query string info to flag a reload of that info from the database.

There are many options.

Passing Variables to another webpage

Pls. help!!!!!!! jas started in ASP.NET.

How Can I Pass the text in a textbox to another webpage?
Thanks in advance . . .You have a number of ways in .NET to pass information but the whole point of .NET is that controls (textboxes) are programmatically accessible so in your postback you basically just say
sString = textbox1.text

However, if you're wanting to pass it to a completely different page, then you'd need to redirect and use either querystring, session or global module (type properties0 to hold the data.

eg

Sub onButtonClick (...)
sString = textbox1.text
response.redirect("myNewPage.aspx?ss=" & sString & "")

End sub
Take a look at the Global.asax File.

//-- define the vaiable

public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{

//...

public static int anwStatus;

//...

}

//-- use the variable, e.g.
Global.anwStatus = 1;

passing variables....

i am trying to pass a variable called EventID (which is read from my SQLDataBase) from my aspx page box to a textbox in the showmodaldialog.

I have a main aspx page called Main_calendar, where when you click a hyperlink a showmodaldialog box appears giving you two options: edit or delete. on the showmodaldialog box there is also a textbox (not visible at runtime) where i would like the EventID to be written to. when you click either of the two link buttons, a new aspx page is opened, which will take the eventID written in that textbox and perform a query based on it in the new edit/delete page.

im extremely stuck as to how i can retrieve this value and input it into the texbox first and then take the value of the textbox and write it to another webform. my programming isnt so great so please bear with me!

i can see how to to do the edit/delete query if i can just get the value written in the textbox into the webform - then the rest should just be easy (touch wood). but i just dont know where to start on the first bit! ive been stuck on this for days,

id greatly appreciate anyones help on this, thanks!

code attached as below:

Main_calendar code page:

int

evID = (int)dr["EventID"];

HyperLink link =new HyperLink();
link.ForeColor = Color.FromName(evColor);
link.ID = " + evID + ";
link.NavigateUrl = "#";
link.Attributes.Add("onClick", "window.showModalDialog('UpdateDeleteDialog.aspx', null, 'dialogHeight: 130px; dialogWidth: 235px; edge: Raised; center: Yes; help: No; resizable: No; status: No; ')");

evID is the Id of the event that i wish to write to a textbox on the UpdateDeleteDialog page

password

how i create a textbox for password using web controls

Paramita-

Are you asking how you can adding a TextBox to your page that hides the text input (a.k.a. password mode)?

If so, the solution is very easy. Simply add an ASP.NET Textbox to your page and set its TextMode property to Password, like this:

<asp:textbox runat="server" id="myTxtBox" TextMode="Password" />

Thanks~

Password appearing as blank

All

When I retieve the users password into a textbox
(password textmode) from the database nothing appears, am
I doing something mad?

ThanksThis is done for security reasons. If you set the value of a textbox in
password mode, it will not show anything.

The reason is, it would have to appear in the plain text in the HTML - and
this would be a security risk, as anyone could just look at it, or intercept
it.

How important that the actual password be in there? You could emit client
side script to set the value there - except set it to a * for every actual
letter. That will basically show the length. If the user tries to edit it -
then blank the whole thing out.

That is true, nah not overly important, just for a user
admin screen for the administrator only

You really shouldn't be storing clear text passwords anyway.. you should
create a message digest based on what they typed in and save that..

Another plus, your admins would not be able to see a user password, only
reset it to something else (which is ideal)..

Password Field

Have a textbox that's in Password mode on a user creation page. Have
several dropdowns that cause a PostBack out of necessity on this page. I
cannot separate them. When one of these dropdowns changes, the textbox's
value is lost. How do I prevent this?

Thanksthe best way would be to remember it from the original postback, so it only

Can I? I've tried setting it in my Page Load event and it doesn't seem to
persist. I've also tried using a client side control with runat=server.
None of the above seem to want to let me set the value.

You have to do it on the client side using javascript.

Losing the value of a password field is pretty standard. If the password
field is the last one on your page, it should in theory be the last field a
user fills in, so it geting emptied shouldn't really happen.

JavaScript doesn't seem to work either. It isn't the last field they will
enter, and even if it were, there's no way they'd go for that =/.

I know for a fact that if you set the value on an input control that is a
password type in javascript, that it does get set correctly. Maybe you need
to post your code then.

I bet your users will like the fact that their password is being sent in
clear text in the browser even less then having to retype their password,
since that is the only way to preserve it in between posts. I would
recommend either accepting that passwords will be blank between posts (this
happens pretty much in every other registration system), re-organize your
registration in such a way that the password gets its own page and it is the
last page in the registration process, or code using the javascript solution
and have the password be sent in clear text - which should be the last
resort.

Password field

In ASP.Net I would like to create a text box that is a Password Field.
How do I do that ?
When I use the Textbox Field (from Toolbox - Standard), I did not find
anything there that can make it a password field.
When I use the Input (Password) Field (From Toolbox - HTML), in my
Submit command button when I do Request.Form("txtPassword") or
Request.QueryString("txtPassword") it returns nothing.

This is from Page1.aspx
<input id="txtPassword" type="password" />

This is from Page1.aspx.vb:
Protected Sub cmdSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles cmdSubmit.Click
sPassword = Request.Form("txtPassword") --nothing

You can only click on that hyperlink from a newsreader, not from a browser.

He means the news: protocol hyperlink which is quoted

He's using a browser...and the news: protocol doesn't work in browsers
unless it also has the double slashes and the server's address.

Password Field

Have a textbox that's in Password mode on a user creation page. Have
several dropdowns that cause a PostBack out of necessity on this page. I
cannot separate them. When one of these dropdowns changes, the textbox's
value is lost. How do I prevent this?
Thanksthe best way would be to remember it from the original postback, so it only
passes over the network once. otherwise you can use a hack, and set the
control's "value" attribute.

Password field is cleared after postback

Hello,
I am developing a C# asp.net application.
I have a webform which contains 2 dropdowns and a textbox with
type="password".
On "SelectedIndexChanged" event of the first dropdown, there is a postback,
in order to fill the second dropdown according to the value selected in the
first dropdown.
The problem is that the password field which has been filled up before is
cleared after postback.
I know this is for security, but is there a way to keep the password'

Yes, you can add a "value" attribute to the password textbox on postback:
txtPassword.Attributes.Add("value", txtPassword.Text)

I have tried that and it didn't work. The field stayed empty...

Hmm... not sure why that doesn't work. Are you using .NET v2.0? I've done
it in v1.1 without any problems.
Another option is to manually set the value of the password field via
JavaScript. There are several ways to do this.
One way is to create a hidden input field. On postback, put the password in
the hidden input field (i.e. txtHiddenPwd.Value = txtPwd.Text). Then with a
startup script or via the body tag's onload attribute, set the value of the
password textbox to the value of the hidden input field.
Ben
I am using version 1.1.
On debug, I see that i do have the value of the password after postback, i
just can't set the textbox with that value.
I have tried also java script:
document.all.txtPassword.InnerText = "some text";
and this doesn't work as well...
I don't need to use a hidden textbox becuase i do have the value after
postback, i just can't set the textbox's value to that value...

Server-side you can't set the textbox's value to the password. However,
with JavaScript (client-side) you should be able to set the value of the
textbox with or without a hidden input field. Without a hidden input field,
you could simply add a runat="server" attribute to the <body> tag, then on
the server-side during a postback, you can add an "onload" attribute to the
body tag specifying the password value. Like this:
===== HTML =====
<body id="myBody" runat="server">
===== Code-Behind =====
myBody.Attributes.Add("onload", _
"document.getElementById('txtPassword').value = '" & _
txtPassword.Text & "'")
(the C# syntax should be similar)
Also, in the code-behind, if Visual Studio doesn't recognize the "myBody"
control (which happens sometimes), you'll probably have to manually add the
control declaration to the code-behind:
Dim myBody As HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl
... or instead of adding an "onload" attribute to the body tag, you could
use the RegisterStartupScript method to set the password textbox value.

By the way, what do you mean that it "doesn't work as well"? How about :
document.getElementById('txtPassword').value = "some text";
Ben
It worked, when using
document.getElementById('txtPassword').value = "some text";
Thank you very much :-)

Dana,
As Ben suggested you can use assword.Attributes.Add("value",
txtPassword.Text) to set the password .But instead of txtPassword.Text you
should retrieve password text using
txtPassword.Attributes["value"].ToString().

password fields

why is it that password fields:

<asp:TextBox Id="txtuserpassword1" TextMode="password" class="textbox" maxlength="20" Columns="15" Runat="Server" /><br
clear everytime validation kicks in or on page refreshes? Can this be stopped? Help!
Also, I can't auto-populate the password field uising a database value.

Help. Thanx.This is the default behavior. If password fields were to refresh, they would have to be stored in ViewState. Since ViewState is stored on the HTML rendered to the browser, the user can easily do a view source and have access to the password. This defeats the purpose of having the password masked.

There is no way to override this, unless you make a custom control, or some other work around.

hope this helps,
John

ok, I can buy the "refresh" reason but what about setting to a value via a database call:

txtuserpassword1.Text = "" & memberdata("USER_PASSWORD")
txtuserpassword2.Text = "" & memberdata("USER_PASSWORD")

they won't populate, why?
thanx.

My guess is it's built into the design of the server control. It would
seem to be a security risk to allow prepopulating a password field.
Perhaps you could do a JavaScript kludge to work around it though if you
really had to.

asp.net clears password fields by default. to set the values in code behind
use the value attribute:

txtuserpassword1.Attributes.Add("value",myPassedValue);

This will work, but for security reasons, I would recommend not putting the
actual password value in there (as it can then become visible to the user if
they view source). Rather, I've often put in "********" as the value to
represent that something has been entered. The next time the user posts, if
that value matches, then I know they left it alone and the code responds
accordingly. Otherwise, they've made a change.

Password goes blank. When I make round trip to server

I have a simple Data Entry form that User enters some information....One of these fields is a password field...Now i have a textBox and and the TextMode is set to Password...but I am unable to save the password to the database cause when i check a check box who's AutoPostBack is set to true the text in textbox with its text mode set to password just goes back to being blank when the page reloads....I dont understand why...I am using ASP.Net 1.1 VS 03 and Sql Backend......I just want to be able to save my Passwords to the DB so that the user will be able to log in and I can authenicate him..........

More then likely you are blanking it in the Page_Load()

Ensure you have a:
If Not IsPostBack() then
... clear password
End if

I thought that but when I change the text mode to Single line...it works just fine....

I've seen the same behavior. I believe this is a security feature. You can use the following approach to work around it.

PrivateSub Page_PreRender(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)HandlesMyBase.PreRender

Password.Attributes.Add(

"value", Password.Text)

ConfirmPassword.Attributes.Add(

"value", ConfirmPassword.Text)EndSub

password in TextBox is not appeared in a new asp page

Hi All,

I am typing a password into a textBox with type="password", and then
submitting it into other page where I not see it in the textBox with
type="password" .
A password value is stored in a Session or a local variable.

Session["pwd"] = PasValue.Text;
..
..
..
PasValue.Text = Session["pwd"].ToString(); - is not appeared

Why it is occured?

Thanks & Regards,
KuanThis is by design with ASP.NET you need to-do sommething like...

PasValue.Attributes("Value") = Session["pwd"].ToString();

Kindest Regards,

Opps sorry that should be ...

PasValue.Attributes["Value"] = Session["pwd"].ToString();

for c# ;)
