Rebinding events in jQuery after Ajax update (upda

Question

I have several input and option elements on my page, each (well almost) have an event attached to update some text on the page once they change. I use jQuery which is really really cool :)

I also use Microsofts Ajax framework, utilizing the UpdatePanel. The reason why I do that is that certain elements are created on the page based on some server-side logic. I don't really want to explain why I use the UpdatePanel - even if it could (it can with quite some effort) be rewritten to use only jQuery I still want that UpdatePanel.

You probably guessed it - once I have a postback on the UpdatePanel the jQuery events stops working. I actually was expecting this, since the "postback" is not really a new postback so my code in document.ready that binds the events won't be fired again. I also confirmed my suspicion by reading up on it in the jQuery help libraries.

Anyway I'm left with the problem of rebinding my controls after the UpdatePanel is done updating the DOM. I preferably need a solution that does not require adding more .js files (jQuery plug-ins) to the page but something as simple as being able to catch the UpdatePanel's 'afterupdating' where I can just call my method to rebind all the form elements.

Answer 1

Use following code

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_pageLoaded(pageLoaded);

function pageLoaded(sender, args) {
    var updatedPanels = args.get_panelsUpdated();
    // check if Main Panel was updated 
    for (idx = 0; idx < updatedPanels.length; idx++) {
        if (updatedPanels[idx].id == "<%=upMain.ID %>") {
            rebindEventsForMainPanel();
            break;
        }
    }
}

Or you could check the latest jQuery's live functionality via the on() method.

Use the following code, You need to validate the control will use the datapicker:

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

         Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(addDataPicker); 
         function addDataPicker(sender, args)
         {
            var fchFacturacion = document.getElementById('<%= txtFechaFacturacion.ClientID %>');
            if (fchFacturacion != null) {
               $(fchFacturacion).datepicker({ onSelect: function () { }, changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, showOn: 'button', buttonImage: '../Imagenes/calendar.gif', buttonImageOnly: true});}
         } 

    </script>

     <asp:UpdatePanel ID="upEjem" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
       <ContentTemplate>
              <div id="div1" runat="server" visible="false">
                  <input type="text" id="txtFechaFacturacion" 
                      name="txtFechaFacturacion" visible="true"
                      readonly="readonly" runat="server" />
              </div>
       </ContentTemplate>
     </asp:UpdatePanel>
