CreateUser Wizard

Hi Imar,

I'm sure your solution is the correct approach - I've known all along that this problem is tied up with losing focus on the email field and forcing it to lose focus before the user fires the create user button makes good sense.

However, now I'm feeling dumb again - can you suggest why I get this error?

Line: 123
Error: Unable to get value of the property 'blur': object is null or undefined

This happens before I put anything in the email field.

My code looks just like yours. Did you do something to enable this bit of script code? I put this in the head section but that did not help:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
</script>

Can you post the markup of your ASPX page?

Hi Imar, thanks again for your interest - this is my page (there is no code behind)

Code:

 

 <%@ Page Title="" Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/1Column.master" AutoEventWireup="false"
  CodeFile="SignUpTest2.aspx.vb" Inherits="SignUpTest2" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="Server">
  <asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard3" runat="server" ContinueDestinationPageUrl="~/Default.aspx"
    EmailRegularExpression='\w+([-+.&apos;]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*'>
    <MailDefinition BodyFileName="~/App_Data/SignUpConfirmation.txt" Subject="Your new account at xxx">
    </MailDefinition>
    <WizardSteps>
      <asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep3" runat="server">
        <CustomNavigationTemplate>
          <table border="0" cellspacing="5" style="width:100%;height:100%;">
            <tr align="right">
              <td align="right" colspan="0">
                <asp:Button ID="StepNextButton" runat="server" CommandName="MoveNext" 
                  Text="Create User"  onmouseover="document.getElementById('cpMainContent_CreateUserWizard3_CreateUserStepContainer_Email').blur();"           
                  ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard3" />
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>
        </CustomNavigationTemplate>
      </asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
      <asp:CompleteWizardStep ID="CompleteWizardStep3" runat="server">
      </asp:CompleteWizardStep>
    </WizardSteps>
  </asp:CreateUserWizard>
</asp:Content>

Hi Dave,

Where do you get this error? In the browser? It works fine for me in all major browsers. Can you describe the steps to reproduce this?

When you look at the final HTML, is cpMainContent_CreateUserWizard3_CreateUserStepCont ainer_Email indeed the ID of that e-mail control?

Hi Imar,

You ARE the man! Correct again! The email control is:

ContentPlaceHolder1_CreateUserWizard3_CreateUserSt epContainer_Email

So "ContentPlaceHolder1" instead of "cpMainContent"

I'll test this with my hosted site also in a couple of days, but this seems like a very solid fix. I wonder why MS is not aware of this bug - and it is a bug.

I'll post this also on the thread on the MS ASP forum - no one there could figure out how to deal with this - I will certainly give your credit!

This dumb thing has sucked up many hours of time (mine, yours and others). I like the idea of the Wizard taking care of all the membership DB details, but this is always the problem when you encounter a bug in a piece of software over which you have little control - or need to be an expert like yourself!

So, thanks again and hopefully this is the end of this problem.

Ha, yes, my bad. I had to change the code to match my master page and forgot to change it back. Glad to hear this resolved the issue

Cheers,

Imar
