How to Find the Position of a Textbox in a Page in Asp.net C#

[vuyiswam]

Good Day All

I have a Dynaically created a Textbox and i have a Dynamically created DIV. So what i want to do is to Find the Position of the Textbox and and Dynamically when this textbox is created , please a Div just next to this textbox. So my plan was to find the position of the textbox and next to it using the position of the textbox and calculate the position of a Div.



Thanks

hmm ..

Shot in the dark here as i'm not too sure how possible it is to do what your asking... because as the page renders alot of objects do move around, and also on different browsers they may land in different locations, And also many now have a zoom function, that reRenders the page with new font & Image sizes...

So why not place both the Textbox and Div inside a Panel or Div and then place that of the page..

IE:

Dynamically create a Div, Place it where you want the textbox.
add the Textbox to the Div..
Add your other Div next to the Textbox in the First Div..

Some experimenting may be needed here to find the exact right Initial holder, however i see no problem using a Div..

i have created a Div Dynamically

 Dim CoverDiv As New System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV")
            Me.Controls.Add(CoverDiv)

            Dim CoverDiv2 As New System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV")
            Me.Controls.Add(CoverDiv2)

and added a textbox(cnt) to a new div "CoverDiv" and added the Main div that i want to show next to the textbox in another div that i just created.

            CoverDiv.Controls.Add(cnt)
            CoverDiv2.Controls.Add(Maindiv)

so but the "Maindiv" still appear at the bottom of the page

Thanks

Try it this way ...

            Dim CoverDiv As New System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV")
            Me.Controls.Add(CoverDiv)

            CoverDiv.Controls.Add(cnt)
            CoverDiv.Controls.Add(Maindiv)
