asp:button MouseOver

[Drathmar]

I'm having problems finding the best way to set the mouse over attribute for several buttons. right now I do something like : btnClear.Attributes.Add('onMouseOut', 'setStyleOff(this.id)); and I do this in the page load for each button, a mouse over and a mouse out event However this can get quite tedious when you want all your buttons to have the same effect and some of them are embedded in datalists or grids. Is it possible to set the mouse over/out event in a skin file or a CSS style sheet so that it will run the same java function for EVERY button on a page? If so, could someone give an example of how to do this? Kris

IMO, you'll have at least two options here: + Use the skin file to define the client side mouse events for the server button control. + It's a good candidate to develop a custom button control which by defalt has the mouse event handlers defined.

Could you give me an example on the syntax to add a mouse over event to a button in a skin file? The only way I know how to do this is code file for a given page.

In a skin file, you simply declare the button:

<asp:button on_mouseover="yourclientsidefunction();" ..../>

then in the Page directive, you can simply set the theme for the web page. The settings of the button in the skin file of the specified theme will be applied to all the buttons on the web page.
