Re: Data binding expressions in javascript include files

you got two choices ... either you send the clientId of the control as argumant to the javascript function from the page .. or you need to use the "Javascript object oriented way" .. I mean you need to create a variables and properties for the javascript external file and then create object instance from that javascript file..

like this ..

function myJsClass(SomeControlClientID)
{

    this.SomeControlObj = document.getElementById(SomeControlClientID);

}

myJsClass.prototype.ToggleStartDateCalendarPopup=function()
{
   You can now use the control object here by calling the "SomeControlObj"
variable which contain the object of the control

EX: this.SomeControlObj

}

Now in the page declare javascript object from that javascript class

var MyObjJs = new myJsClass('<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>');

MyObjJs.ToggleStartDateCalendarPopup();

</script>

Data binding expressions in javascript include files

I have some javascript that contains databinding expressions. I was trying to include this in my webpage as include file or by using RegisterStartUPScript

Here is the javascript

function ToggleStartDateCalendarPopup()
        {
            $find("<%= dpStartDate.ClientID %>").showPopup();
        }
        
        function ToggleEndDateCalendarPopup()
        {
            $find("<%= dpEndDate.ClientID %>").showPopup();
        }

But then the page does not run and I get this error: Message: 'null' is null or not an object

I presume this is because of the data binding expressions. Is there anything I can do to include this javascript externally?

I tried putting the javascript in a usercontrol so that I could drop it on the pages that use this code but naturally the page wouldn't compile because the user control does not have a control called dpStartDate.

Any help is much appreciated

thanks
