Determine what element caused the Postback when handling the endRequest event

Hi All,

I have an UpdatePanel with 2 buttons. Pressing either of them causes a Postback and the panel gets refreshed.

I'm handling the endRequest event on the client side. Is there a way to determine which of the page elements caused the Postback?

Thanks,

Uzi

Hi,

you can determine the postback element on the client side with the PageRequestManager. Attach to the beginRequest event and you can save the postback control. More information here:

Here is a neat way to get it done:

In the 'BeginRequest' event handler insert the postback element to the UserContext of the WebRequest:

function BeginRequestHandler(sender, args)

{

var elemName = args.get_postBackElement().id;var request = args.get_request();

request.set_userContext(elemName);

}

Then, when the request ends, at the 'EndEvent' get the information from the Response object:

function EndRequestHandler(sender, args)

{

var response = args.get_response();

alert(response._webRequest.get_userContext());

}

Thanks,
