how 2 make cursor persistent while adding table into the update panel

jack_hilary · September 22nd, 2009, 03:01 PM

Hello Imar sir,
First of all I would like to say thanks. I asked u about how r send email. And then I followed your instructions and now it is working fine for the ContactForm.aspx page.

Also I'll ask for sorry if it gets you angry as I told "r u there?" Actually yeah I am from different time zone than you are. I was asking you questions at 4 o'clock of night and in the morning I was to go to the college.Next time I'll take care about this.

OK now I come to the point , well sending message is working fine now. But there is problem when I send message through fake email ids, it accepts all so my question is that is there any way to determine that the email id being sent in the form is genuine or not?

secondly I've gone through Ajax where u have told about how to notify users that message is being sent. But whenever I wrap the whole table in update panel then on requesting the page in browser, cursor is not persistent any more and I am not able to type anything in the input fields.

So please tell me how to fix the above 2 problems.

Hi there,

You can't really tell if an e-mail address is valid or not until you actually try to deliver it. You can filter out most mistakes using regular expressions. The Validator controls have one, albeit a bit week. If you search the Internet a bit you'll find others that are much stronger. However, they still allow for addresses like [email protected] which probably doesn't exist.
There are third party solutions available (again a Google or Bing search should bring up useful results) that allow you to simulate sending an e-mail to see if the address exists. Still not fool proof though.

I don't understand your other problem. You need to supply more details (code, setup, browser, detailed problem description etc) or I can't say anything useful about it.

Cheers,
Imar

Here is the code snippet that u suggested to use in the ContactForm.aspx page while dealing with the user notification

Code:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel2" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<table class="style1" runat="server" id="FormTable">
    Table (ContactForm goes here)
</table>
<asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server" Text="Message Sent" Visible="false"></asp:Label>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePanel2">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div class="PleaseWait">
Please Wait While Message Being Sent...
</div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>

Now on browsing the page in IE, the cursor does not persist in the input fields for more than 2 seconds and the whole page refreshes itself. So that I can not feed input.

Is your form automatically submitting itself to the server? Maybe you have a Timer control somewhere?

yes in the master page I've used the calender and timing functionality, but that is wrapped in the different update panel (ID=UpdatePanel1). And the contact form is in content place holder wrapped in different update panel (ID=UpdatePanel2).

Hello Imar Sir,
I have used timer in master page to use the calender and timing functionality, but that is wrapped in the different update panel (ID=UpdatePanel1). And the contact form is in content place holder wrapped in different update panel (ID=UpdatePanel2). But the form (in different update panel ) refreshes itself and cursor functionality is lost. So what should I do , also I wanna keep feature of timing and calender.

OK never mind as you also may not try the all of the codes. OK I could disable the timer in my master page then it will be solved and I need time to check out that code fully to use in my pages even I use timer. Ok I wanna tell u about my site structure:

The basic name conventions are followed as you have suggested, but it has some different scenario than PlanetWrox.com.I am going to develop a Ecommerce based site that follows the money transfer using the credit card etc. This is the another and very massive thing , but for the time now I am working out on database. Accordingly Your book I can do more but still I want something extra that is whatever product I store in database with image that should be notified to the user at his disposal with a link of "Buy" and then added to some billing form whatever the quantities are and different products on diff. pages.

So firstly please try to tell me that how I can store images in the database itself and secondly how to give a link as "Buy" or anything else next to each item to add in order form.
Also please let me know the exact timing you log in to this forum.
