Question

I’m trying to put multiple user controls on the dashboard. But only one user control is visible.

Dashboard.aspx:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="220px">
<tr>
<td>
<dc:MyControl ID="c1" runat="server"/>
</td>
<td>
<dc:MyControl ID="c2" runat="server"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

It looked like the global object created in user control overwrites the other one.

I then changed my javascript code as:

MyControl.ascx:

//Display gauge on the page (has some html5 elements like canvas)
<div id="gauge1" class="gauge"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var <%=this.ClientID%>global = new jGauge(); // Create a new gauge.
<%=this.ClientID%>global.id = 'gauge1'; // Link the new gauge to the placeholder DIV.


// This function is called by jQuery once the page has finished loading.
$(document).ready(function () {
<%=this.ClientID%>global.init(); // Put the gauge on the page by initializing it.
});
</script>

But still only one user control is visible. Any suggestions?

You still need to change the container ID (gauge1) so that it’s unique for each control, otherwise it will get overwritten. Something like this:

<div id="<%=this.ClientID%>gaugecontainer" class="gauge"></div>

And modify the Javascript to use the dynamic ID:

<%=this.ClientID%>global.id = '<%=this.ClientID%>gaugecontainer'; 
// Link the new gauge to the placeholder DIV.
