I am trying to dynamically build a page. I have a label and a link button that when the mouse goes over it, I need a menu to display. I have 5 of these that are created and each has its own menu. How do I go about getting the code to build and display the menu to be called from the codebehind. I am using the label.attributes.add("onmouseover", "DisplayMenu"), but the 2nd part, which is my code where the menus are built, is not being called. What am I doing wrong? HELP Please.

Thanks
Liz

Hi Liz

You are totaly wrong

Surendra

Well what do I need to do to make it right?

BUMP!!

Could somebody please help me with this? Do I need to use Javascript?

Hi there,

I don't understand why Surendra gave you such a ridiculous, unfriendly and useless answer.....

Anyway, I am not sure I understand your situation. onmouseover fires at the client; Code Behind fires at the server. How do you see this work?

Are you sure you need to do this at the server. Maybe you're just looking for a client side menu??

Can you elaborate a little?

OK, yes I am trying to create a menu dynamically using database values. So everything on the page is being built from the code behind. Basically everything is being driven from the database. So I am trying to display a menu when the user mouses over a button. Different menus for different buttons. I am not sure if I am explaining this right. THis is my first web project.

So yeah if I could create the menus on the client side, how would I do that? JavaScript?

let's clarify a little this..

every time you execute something on the server side, all the page will be refreshed, so there will be not pop up from any menu, unless you use AJAX...
the code behind fires on the server side, controls know this automatic and you don't have to register the events...
you are registering a javascript event and coding a code behind event, that's why the java script never run... and that's probably why don't you see anything happens, all the pages gets a refresh!

OK, I have downloaded AJAX and will start looking into it. Thanks for the information. And it does make sense.

Do you know of a good book reference for AJAX?

Thanks again.

final version of AJAX came out a month ago..

I think that wrox have a book about it..

but i was involved in the beta testing of it so I didn't read any book about it, just the docs and tutorial that are in the microsoft page...

Are you sure you need stuff like Ajax and server side event handling?

Aren't you just looking for a database driven version of this menu: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/example/
