Question

Is it possible to line up the “Register” button to right align it w/in col2?

Here’s the markup:

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server" CreateUserButtonText="Register" ContinueDestinationPageUrl="~/Secure/PromotePandaVisa.aspx">
    <SideBarTemplate>
        Sidebar template
    </SideBarTemplate>
    <WizardSteps>
        <asp:CreateUserWizardStep runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
                    <colgroup>
                        <col width="120px"/>
                        <col width="150px" />
                        <col />
                        <tr>
                            <td class="CaptionLabel" colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; padding-left:10px; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
                                <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="LargeCaption LightText" Text="Register as an Affiliate"></asp:Label>
                                &nbsp;

I’d like to add code in the code behind to perform additional edits. I added the “ErrorMessage” LiteralControl. How do I access it from the code behind or is there a preffered way to display a custom message using the control’s functionality?

Answer 1

Suggest using the CreateUserWizard property CreateUserButtonStyle-CssClass.

Define yourself a new class:

<style type="text/css">
   .foo{
          margin-left: 120px;
    }
    </style>

Then set the wizard button property:

   <asp:CreateUserWizard CreateUserButtonStyle-CssClass="foo" 

The only problem is that the markup emitted has the alignment as “right” instead of what we want: “left”.

See this image for a look in Firebug if the table cell alignment was set to LEFT.

Solve the right/left <td> contents alignment problem, and you’re set!

Use jQuery to find this button, get its parent <td>, and set its align attribute to left.

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<style type="text/css">
    .foo
    {
        margin-left: 120px;
    }
</style>

 <script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function () {
         var btn = $("#CreateUserWizard1___CustomNav0_StepNextButtonButton");
         btn.parent().attr('align', 'left');

     });
 </script>
<head>
