How to call javascript in hyperlinkfield

[indhu kumar]

I have a hyperlinkfield in the gridview. when i click on that it take some time to redirect to other page, during that time i want to intimate the user with a "pleasewait " message using javascript.

I have written a script for that and i want to call it in hyperlinkfield.
I tired using DataNavigateUrl FormatString="j avascript:varwi n=window.open(' Detail.aspx?mop Id={0}');" but it doesnt work

Here is my hyperlinkfield code:
<asp:hyperlinkf ield HeaderText="ID" SortExpression= "id" DataTextField=" id"
DataNavigateUrl Fields="id,as_o f_date" DataNavigateUrl FormatString="d efault.aspx?mrs ecid={0}&aod={1 :dd-MMM-yyy}" /> and i'm using vb.net.

Please help me in finding solution for the above.

For a "Please Wait..." message, you can place an element on the page with the message, then onclick show this element, e.g.

<div id="message">Please wait...</div>

This should initially be hidden. Then:

<a ... onclick="document.getElementById('message').style.display='block'">

I have used inline events for the sake of simplicity/brevity. Also note that VB.NET may have something which could generate this for you.
