how can i add client side javascript to a web user control?

[Tariq Ahmad]

hi,

i have a web user control that i wish to add some client-side
javascript to. something like this: onChange="javascriptoSomething();"

how can i add this and where do i need to add it? do i need to somehow
add it to my .ascx file?

i tried to add it into my HTML like below but it does not
get rendered when i do View|Source.

<uc1:TypeAheadComboBox id="cboPaymentTerm"
onChange="javascriptoSomething();" runat="server"></uc1:TypeAheadComboBox>

i also tried to add it to my .ascx file like below but this gives errors:

Protected bdBody As HtmlGenericControl
Public Sub New()
bdBody.Attributes("onChange") = "window.alert('changed');"
End Sub

any advice appreciated.

thanks.

works a charm ... thanks a lot!

(note for anyone else wanting to do this:
your control must expose its Attributes collection. if it doesnt
u will still be able to do Attributes.Add but it will not work as
desired).

You can do it that way:
cboPaymentTerm.Attributes.Add("onchange", "DoSomething();")
