Client Side Events on Server Controls?

[marcusw]

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently tearing my hair out trying to understand the following....

My application uses a server side button to do a final page submit. No problem with that! However, does every single event HAVE to run on the server? I would like to have mouseover events that simply change the colour of my button but I don't want a round-trip to the server to achieve this each time I move my mouse onto the button.

Can anyone help please.... I'm sure there is a simple answer but all the help says that it will do a round-trip?

Essentially, is it possible to have Client-Side Javascript for server side controls?

Cheers,

Marcus.

To quote a line from the Offspring song Original Prankster (I think):

YOU CAN DO IT!

In the code behind, there's a sub called Web Form Something Something (ugh...where's that coffee?!). Anyway, inside there's a sub called Initialize. Add this line in there:

cmdButton.Attributes.Add("onMouseOver", "javascript:code to change the color&quot

then, when the page gets loaded, it'll automatically include that "onMouseOver" attribute in the buttons tag.
voila!

This can be used for pretty much any javascript. I use it alot if I need a button to open a new window.
