Altering html output from codebehind in C# - HTML Forums

kleindahl · 05-29-2009, 09:28 AM

Hi,

i have a horizontal css menu with a dropline. I need to change css class on <ul> and anchors for active menu items.

I want to do this from code behind so that i don't rely on javascript.

My problem is to find an effective way to search through the html and find the correct dom items that match variables from the querystring, and then alter them.

Can anybody help me in the right direction?

/ Christian

MenuItemClick Event; and e.CssClass = "myClass";

To be able to use code behind, it is better to use server side controls instead of html controls. You will not have to search through html if you are using server side controls. You will be able to access each items by index when using them.

the HTML Controls that have Runat="server" work just as well...

You can access them by index or by name either way...

To use as in your previous post, doesnt it have to be a server control, like "MenuItemClick Event; and e.CssClass = "myClass";" I am not a master of ASP.net and hence this query...

There are multiple types of controls. User Controls which can be a DHTML/ajax or just a complete Form with textboxes and drop downs on it.

HTML Controls that are grouped on the toolbox and Server Controls which are .net wrapped controls. The HTML Controls give you access to some of the properties but have some limitations vs Server Controls; It Table vs HtmlTable both result in an Table being rendered but one is wrapped for propeties and events in the .net framework
