Grid - part of name of FormTemplate control

[Krzysztof]

Hi

I have a Grid width PopUp style editing like :
....
<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template" >      
                           <FormTemplate>
                           <asp:TextBox id="TextBox7"  runat="server"
                           Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.FieldName" ) %>'>
                        </asp:TextBox>
                        <br />
                           <asp:Button ID="UpdateButton" OnClientClick="GetNewData(this, event);" Text="Update"
                                 runat="server" />
                           </FormTemplate>
                                               
                       </EditFormSettings>
....

... and I have JavaScript finction like :

function GetNewData(sender, e)
{
  var grid = $get("Grid1");
  var inputs = grid.getElementsByTagName("input");
  for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++)
  {  
    var input = inputs[i];
    if (input.id == "Grid1_ctl00_ctl05_" + "TextBox7")
    {
      alert(input.value);
    }  
  }
 }

Every thing work well but I have't got grid id directly from JavaScript code. I need this becoures I have to find control named "Grid1_ctl00_ctl05_TextBox7".
My question is : How can I get grid unique id like "Grid1_ctl00_ctl05_" ??? 

Regards

Hello Krzysztof,

One possible approach in this case is to use the code-behind and get the id there. This id can be assigned to a hidden input on the page, which can later be accessed to get the id of the element you need.
I hope this is a suitable approach for you.

Best wishes,
