I am having trouble with the link button onclick event not firing. I have tried rewriting the code and redirecting directly on button click function, but it never reaches the redirectUser() line. Can someone assist me in solving this issue?
HTML:
<li><asp:LinkButton ID="dashbut" runat="server"
CausesValidation="false"
OnClick="dashbut_Click"
Text="Dashboard">
<img src="images/dash.png" height="25" width="25" class="fa fa-tachometer" /><span> Dashboard</span>
</asp:LinkButton>
</li>
Code Behind:
protected void dashbut_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Response.Redirect("~/Views/Portal/AdminDashboard.aspx");
redirectUser();
}
private void redirectUser()
{
string myConnection = dbController.connectionString;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(myConnection);
string userCheckQuery = "SELECT UserType from tblUsers where ID = '" + USERid + "'";
SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand(userCheckQuery, conn);
conn.Open();
bool userType = (bool)cmd1.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();
if (userType == true)
{
Response.Redirect("~/Views/Portal/AdminDashboard.aspx");
}
else if (userType == false)
{
Response.Redirect("~/Views/Portal/Dashboard.aspx");
}
}
EDIT:
It appears that the LinkButton click event is not firing due to a JS error. There is a TypeError related to theForm.submit. When checking the browser console, the error message is: Uncaught TypeError: theForm.submit is not a function
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var theForm = document.forms['form1'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document.form1;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit();
}
}
//]]>
</script>
The error is occurring on the theForm.submit(); line. I am unable to resolve this on my own. Any assistance is appreciated.
