Hi All, 

Newbie here having some problems with jQuery..    I created a very simple module with only 5 textbox for testing.. in the page load function I have added

jQuery.RequestRegistration()

Dim script As String = String.format(glbScriptformat, ResolveUrl("ViewAccMgr.js"))
DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, "ViewAccMgr_js", script)

 In the js script file i have the following in the document ready function.   I know that jQuery is working because the function with the control id = ("#dnn_ctr377_ViewAccMgr_txtSearchTerm") works,  but the ("#txtSearchTerm") does not.  However, is it a pratical way to write the jQuery since i will never know the ctr-id.. etc and which page the module is used in...

    jQuery("#dnn_ctr377_ViewAccMgr_txtSearchTerm").focus(
        function() {
            Hello2");
        }
    );

    jQuery("#txtSearchTerm").focus(
        function() {
            Hello3");
        }
    );

Hi Baatezu,

thanks for the reply, so from what i can understand, the script will have to get the client control id in the server side and pass back down.  In this case i would have to some how find, or deduce the control id in the page load function and replace it before i register the script block..

eg...

jQuery.RequestRegistration()
Dim script As String = String.format(glbScriptformat, ResolveUrl("ViewAccMgr.js"))
script.replace("txtSearchTerm","the appropriate name")
DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, "ViewAccMgr_js", script)

correct??

Hi Baatezu,

Thanks for the help.. the ClientID pointed me to the right direction, and i see the light now :)
