Question

I have a textbox and an image button as follows

<asp:TextBox ID="myText" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:ImageButton ID="btnExecute" runat="server" OnClick="btnExecute_Click" />

Now here is my problem, on the Page_Load there are some bindings.. and these bindings go into dozens of controls and classes, by the time it’s about to reach my code in the On_Click for my button its too late.. it would redirect to somewhere else.. I needed to redirect to a different page but it would never reach its destination unless i somehow ommit all the stuff in between which i am not willing to do..

So, the solution that i thought is to use Javascript on that image button OnClientClick, unfortunately I am not so good at it and was hoping you could help me.. the pseudo code would be something like this

if(the current url contains some page.aspx)
      {
          var value = get the value from myText;

          then navigate to  myotherpage?txtvalue=value;
      }

Can someone help me with this javascript without going into to much details on why i am doing it like this? please

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

Naively translating your pseudo code to javascript:

if (window.location.href.indexOf('page.aspx') > -1)
{
    var value = document.getElementById('<%= myText.ClientID %>').value;
    window.location.href = 'myotherpage?txtvalue=' + encodeURIComponent(value);
}
