Question

SCENARIO

The BasePage.cs implements System.Web.UI.Page. It is a superclass without aspx from where all actual pages are derived.

I am registering some javascript in the BasePage using RegisterClientScriptBlock:

public class BasePage : System.Web.UI.Page
{

  protected virtual void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
    Type csType = this.GetType();
    cs.RegisterClientScriptBlock(csType, "handler", @"<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>alert('Something stupid!');</script>");
  }
}

I tested this snippet in a mock: it works right. Then I inserted the snippet in the BasePage.cs. In the index.aspx the script is not executed. Browser debugging shows that:

• no script has been registered
• no console error is displayed

In all other pages it works right.

QUESTION

Is there any specific issue related to the RegisterClientScriptBlock() method?

REMARK

I am sorry, but I am not allowed to post the whole index.aspx page code. But maybe if you have a clue then I can give you further details.

Answer 1

Eventually a collegue of mine suggested to wrap the index.aspx markup with the form tag. That is enough and now everything is working fine.
