Hello Lee,

Though it is very simple but I want to clear it  in context of DNN.

I want length of textbox if is 3 then attached with "-". Now for this what approch should follow.

1. Whether I should do it into backend code or client code. As I don't want to reload the form, simple I choose Client side scripting. I tried to add javascript into .ascx file but it is giving me error and GUI is not showing.

2. So is it ok if I add javascript through vb file. For this I tried popupScript As String

popupScript = "<script language='javascript'>function Test() {alert('Just to check'); }</script>"

Page.RegisterStartupScript("PopupScript", popupScript)

txtHomePhone.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress", "Test();")

It is working proper for above code and giving alert message on keypress event.

So my question is: Is it right approch or is there any other easy solution for this.

Thanking you,

Sandip

Hello,

To be honest, I do not know the 'best practice' method. It makes sense the method you are using. - Perhaps you should start a post in the main DNN forum and ask other developers what practices they employ?
