Find <td> inside RadMenu

[Terri-Lynn]

Hi all!  I have a simple RadMenu that displays a static (not pulled from any sort of datasource) list of menu items like so:

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" EnableShadows="true">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="" PostBack="false" ImageUrl="~/i/opendata.png" NavigateUrl="data.aspx">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadMenuItem Width="400px">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <div id="CatWrapper" class="Wrapper" style="width: 380px;">
                            <h3> Our Data</h3>
                            <table>
                                <tr>
                                    <td valign="bottom"><a href="dfaq.aspx"><img src="i/faq_24.png" alt="FAQ" /></a>
                                    </td>
                                    <td width="175px"><a href="dfaq.aspx">Data FAQ</a></td>
                                    <td valign="bottom"><a href="maps.aspx"><img src="i/map_24.png" alt="Maps" /></a></td>
                                    <td><a href="mapcat.aspx">Maps</a></td>
                                </tr>
                                <tr>
                                    <td valign="bottom" align="right"><a href="dldsoptions.aspx"><img src="i/globe_download_24.png" alt="Dowload Datasets" /></a>
                                    </td>
                                    <td><a href="dldsoptions.aspx">Download Datasets</a></td>
                                    <td valign="bottom"><a href="otherdata.aspx"><img src="i/link_24.png" alt="Other Data Links" /></a>
                                    </td>
                                    <td><a href="otherdata.aspx">Other Data Links</a></td>
                                </tr>
                                <tr id="sde">
                                    <td valign="bottom" id="sdeimgcell" runat="server" visible="false"><a href="sde.aspx"><img src="i/_engine_24.png" alt="SDE" /></a></td>
                                    <td id="sdelinkcell" runat="server" visible="false"><a href="sde.aspx" >Access Data</a></td>
                                    <td></td>
                                    <td></td>
                                </tr>
                            </table>
                        </div>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:RadMenuItem>
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadMenu>

The last item I have set to visible="false" because I want to ensure in the code-behind that the user SHOULD see it, based on a role.  I can't for the life of me figure out how to "find" the <td id="sdelinkcell"...>!  Anyone?  I need to make it visible for one role, but I'm stumped!

Hi Terri-Lynn,

You can find the table data on the client-side using jQuery as explained in these forums:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/376081/how-to-get-a-table-cell-value-using-jquery
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/640903/jquery-how-can-i-find-if-an-id-has-a-specific-string

Please take a look the attached runnable page. You should also note that when you place any control in a template its Id changes therefore if you need to directly find the desired table data you will need to use the newly rendered Id (as explained in my comments).
