Basic question about jquery and .NET
Question
I want to make a page so I can select filters in a "jquery popup", but I don't know how to receive the results.
Suppose I have a page with a ListView, and I want to select filters for it (perhaps with multiple selection from a list), so I make a different ASPX and open it using jquery (actually jqModal) via ajax, the user selects the filters, and accepts.
How do I get that selection to rebind my ListView?
(...)
I just selected the URL for the link above in a jQuery popup, that's exactly what I want to do... how is it accomplished?
Solution
I think the simplest solution would be to have an asp button with style="display:none". In the javascript function which closes the popup, fake a click on that button. Then have a regular event handler to rebind your listview.
HTML:
<div class="jqmWindow" id="dialog">
<asp:ListView runat="server" id="lvFilter" />
</div>
<asp:Button runat="server" id="btnFilter" OnClick="btnFilter_Click" style="disaply:none" />
Javascript:
$('#dialog').jqm({
onHide:function() {
$("#<%= btnFilter.ClientID %>").click();
}
});
Server Side:
btnFilter_Click todo normal filtering.
