While working with asp.net, most front end developers have their own javascript library of utility functions like: (get/set)ElementPosition, getScroll(x/y), (add/remove)ClassName, etc. Most of the times there is no need to have your own versions of some of the more commonly used javascript utility functions as they are already present in the
Webresourse.axd javascript file embedded (not always) in your asp.net page and most importantly
the functions are Cross Browser. The utility functions in this client library are used for asp.net
callbacks & postbacks, in addition to being used by asp.net validation, treeview and menu client libraries (yes, there are seperate libraries for all these). So, if you are using asp.net menu/treeview/validators/callbacks on your webpage, you can happily use the functions provided in the library. If you want to ensure that the library is included in your page, just use a nice to have feature in your asp.net page:
MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="true"
AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
or appliying it sitewide thru web.config as:
<system.web>
<pages maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="true">
</pages>
</system.web>
The script file is included in my page as:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/TestWebsite/WebResource.axd?d=X2ApKqYNd-qiVRFcah5bwg2&t=633437918395970000">
Following is the list of some of the commonly used functions present in the library:
WebForm_GetScrollX
WebForm_GetScrollY
WebForm_SetElementX
WebForm_SetElementY
WebForm_GetElementById
WebForm_SetElementWidth
WebForm_SetElementHeight
WebForm_RemoveClassName
WebForm_AppendToClassName
WebForm_GetParentByTagName
WebForm_GetElementByTagName
WebForm_GetElementsByTagName
WebForm_GetElementPosition - another version here
Hope this is helpful.
