Jquery, get label value inside a user control
Question by LuisEValencia
I need to make a calculation in an asp.net page with the value from a usercontrol label.
the user control label is:
<asp:Label ID="LblInvoicePriceValue" runat="server" ></asp:Label>
I include it like this:
<Controls:VehicleInformation ID="VehicleInformationControl" runat="server" />
And my jquery function is something like:
Please see point 1 and 2.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
alert('call function to do calculation here');
// 1. Find in the vehicle information user control the invoiced ammount label
// 2. Find the vat excluded value **after** it was typed in the textbox
// 3. If invoiced ammount is greater than zero, then
// 3.a Find Label Percentage
// 3.b Label.Text = (AmmountWithoutVat/InvoicedAmmount)*100 + '%'
});
</script>
HTML generated:UPdate1
For the label:
<span id="MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue" class="bold"></span>
For the textbox:
<input name="ctl00$MainContent$TxtVatExcluded" type="text" id="TxtVatExcluded" class="calculation" />
Update 2:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
alert('call function to do calculation here');
$("#TxtVatExcluded").keypress(function() {
var invoiceprice = $("#MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue").text();
var vatexcluced = $("#TxtVatExcluded").val();
var lblPercentage = $("#MainContent_LblPercentage");
if (invoiceprice > 0) {
lblPercentage.text((vatexcluced / invoiceprice) * 100);
}
})
// 1. Find in the vehicle information user control the invoiced ammount label
// 2. Find the vat excluded value after it was typed in the textbox
// 3. If invoiced ammount is greater than zero, then
// 3.a Find Label Percentage
// 3.b Label.Text = (AmmountWithoutVat/InvoicedAmmount)*100 + '%'
});
</script>

var label_text = $("#MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue").text();
$("#TxtVatExcluded").val(label_text);
UPDATE
If you want to check if the textfield is blank then only do copy the label then use following code
var label_text = $("#MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue").text();
var txt = $("#TxtVatExcluded").val();
if(txt.length==0)
{
$("#TxtVatExcluded").val(label_text);
}

You can use the rendered ID of the elements to get the values using jQuery
var lbl = $("#MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue").text();
var tbox = $("#TxtVatExcluded").val();
Later when the calculation is complet, you can update the label text as
$("#MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue").html("new label");
Update:
To use the logic, where the user types, you have to bind the function to keypress
/keyup
/keydown
event
$("#myinputbox").keypress(function() {
var lbl = $("#MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue").text();
var tbox = $("#TxtVatExcluded").val();
//... so on
}
Update 2:
Since, you are attempting to calculate with the values, it is safer to make sure, there are numbers in the first place. For that, you can use parseInt()
, parseFloat()
as needed.
$("#TxtVatExcluded").keypress(function() {
var invoiceprice = $("#MainContent_VehicleInformationControl_LblInvoicePriceValue").text();
var vatexcluced = $("#TxtVatExcluded").val();
var lblPercentage = $("#MainContent_LblPercentage");
if (invoiceprice > 0) {
lblPercentage.text((parseInt(vatexcluced) / parseInt(invoiceprice)) * 100);
}
})
