In the C# backend code for a website, I have the following code that displays a message for the user, enumerating the data they are about to submit, and asking for human-confirmation that the information appears accurate.
This is executed within C#, not within JavaScript, so how can I access the result of the confirm
function?
My C# logic needs to follow a different path if they click OK, versus if they click Cancel.
I'm working on a very old application (13 years), that has been untouched for quite some time.
As a result, I don't have the ability to alter the general design of the application.
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "InvalidEntrySubTypeAlert", "confirm('" +
"Are you sure you want to create the following deal?\n" +
"\nDeal ID :\t\t\t" + nDealID +
"\nCompany Name :\t\t" + txtCompanyName.Text +
"\nEntry Subject :\t\t" + txtEntrySubject.Text +
"\nBusiness Lead :\t\t" + ddlBusinessLead.SelectedItem.Text +
"\nLicense Status :\t\t" + ddlLicenseStatus.SelectedItem.Text +
"\nEffective Date :\t\t" + string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", calEffectiveDate.SelectedDate) +
"\nExpiration Date :\t\t" + string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", calExpirationDate.SelectedDate) +
"\nLicense Location :\t\t" + txtLicenseLocation.Text +
"\nEntry Sub Type :\t\t" + ddlEntrySubType.SelectedItem.Text.Split(' ')[0]
+ "');", true);
You can use a HiddenField
to set the value from the client side and then access it on the Server.
Here is a mockup
<asp:HiddenField ID="hndSetFromJS" runat="server"></asp:HiddenField>
And set the value like this
document.getElementById("#<%= hndSetFromJS.ClientID %>").value = "yourValue";
or
$("#<%= hndSetFromJS.ClientID %>").val("yourValue"); // Jquery
