  How do I save record with labels that already have data populated ?

  Jan 24, 2017 07:22 AM|tangara|LINK

  Hi expert,

  After liberating, I decided to try out using WebService to execute the workflow.

  My first question is I'd like to know if the labels contains data that is being populated from database, how does one save record at the jquery portion ?

  Do I do it like that ?

   document.getElementById("<%=lblInitiator.ClientID%>").value;

  Please refer to the below code as to what I meant by the jquery way :

  function SaveRecord() {
              //Get control's values
              document.getElementById("<%=lblInitiator.ClientID%>").value; // is this the way to do it for labels already contain data populated from database
              var dateIssued = $.trim($('#<%=lblSubmitDate.Text .ClientID %>').val()); // this is one that is without any data in the label and user has to fill in via a calender
              
  
              var msg = "";
              //check for validation
              if (dateIssued == '') {
                  msg += "<li>Please select date</li>";
              }
  
              if (msg.length == 0) {
                  //Jquery ajax call to server side method
                  $.ajax({
                      type: "POST",
                      dataType: "json",
                      contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                      //Url is the path of our web method (Page name/function name)
                      url: "ePMT.aspx/SaveEPMTRequest",
                      //Pass paramenters to the server side function
    data: "{'dateIssued':'" + submitDate + "'}",
                      success: function (response) {
                          //Success or failure message e.g. Record saved or not saved successfully
                          if (response.d == true) {
                              //Set message
                              $('#dvResult').text("Record saved successfully");
                              //Reset controls                           
                              $('#lblInitiator').val('');
                              $('#lblSubmitDate').val('');                         
                          }
                          else {
                              $('#dvResult').text("Record could't be saved");
                          }

  My second question is if I do not want to do it via the jquery way, is there any other way that I can do it.

  If you are trying to save data back the server then you will need to set up a connection to communicate with it and provide server side functions that allow the server to update database tables.
