  Submit value from TextArea

  Aug 08, 2008 09:40 AM|LINK

   Hello,

            Why I can't pass the value to a Label control from a TextArea control? [:(]

  ...
  

       <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
                              function submitForm() {
                                  document.getElementById('HiddenField1').value = document.form1.area1.value;                
                                  return false;
                              }
      </script>

      <form id="form1" runat="server">
      <div>
          <textarea name="area1" style="width: 300px; height: 100px;"></textarea><br />
          <asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" runat="server" />
          <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label" />
          <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="submitForm()" />
      </div>
      </form>

      Protected Sub Button1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Load
          Label1.Text = HiddenField1.Value
      End Sub

  ...

   Put runat="server" in textarea tag.

   U can then access it from codebehind.
  

  Hope it helps.

   You don't really use textarea anymore either, you use a textbox set its properties to multiline and it behaves just like a textarea
  

  Mark as answer if I helped.

  Hi imperialx,

  Actually, the code you posted is working very well with me.

  So, build a new page and have another try on it. Or, just use a multiline TextBox as what DarthSwian said above.

  Hi imperialx,

  I just noticed that you used Button_Load event in your code above. However, I used Button_Click instead.

  So, is there any special reason that you need to fire the event at the time Button loaded?

   Hi Shengqing! That's a quick reply anyways I'm still getting the same double click whether I put it on click event or not. [:(]

  Actually, I'm trying the WYSIWYG from NicEdit and below is the complete code I use while using their feature.

  ...

  <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="niceEdit.aspx.vb" Inherits="niceEdit"
      EnableEventValidation="false" ValidateRequest="false" %>
  
  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head runat="server">
      <title>niceEdit</title>
  
      <script src="http://js.nicedit.com/nicEdit-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  
      <script type="text/javascript">bkLib.onDomLoaded(nicEditors.allTextAreas);</script>
  
      <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
                              function submitForm() {
                                  document.getElementById('HiddenField1').value = document.form1.ctl02.value;               
                                  return false;
                              }
      </script>
  </head>
  <body>
      <form id="form1" runat="server">
      <div>
          <textarea name="area1" runat="server" style="width: 300px; height: 100px;"></textarea><br />
          <asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" runat="server" />
          <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label" />
          <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="submitForm()" />
      </div>
      </form>
  </body>
  </html>

  ...

  Hi imperialx,

  Here may be the problem in JavaScript. 

  <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
      function submitForm() {
          document.getElementById('HiddenField1').value = document.form1.ctl02.value;
          return false;
      }
  </script>

  I haven't found "ctl02" in your HTML codes.

  And have you tried on the code like below? 

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
      Label1.Text = Textarea1.Value
  End Sub

  I am just using it and it works fine with me.

  Best Regards,
  Shengqing Yang

   Hi Shengqing,

       I use 'ctlo2' because it was generated by .net automatically by checking at view source.

  Here is the code-behind;

  Partial Class niceEdit
      Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
  
      Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
          Label1.Text = HiddenField1.Value
      End Sub
  
  End Class

   

  Regards,

  imperialx

  Hi imperialx,

  I have tested your code and face the same problem with you.

  Here is my research.

  I add the statment "alert(document.getElementById('Textarea1').value)" at the end of JavaScript function and find it gets no value from the Textarea.

  But if I comment out these two lines:

  <script src="http://js.nicedit.com/nicEdit-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">bkLib.onDomLoaded(nicEditors.allTextAreas);</script>

  It works well.

  So I think the problem might be caused by the third party control you are using.

  Here is the solution:

  You just need to use these VB.Net code to get the value in the Textarea. And it works fine with me. 

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
      Label1.Text = Textarea1.Value
  End Sub

  Best Regards,
  Shengqing Yang
