    Hi All, 

    Just a quick post to share a useful trick with you. 

    I just spent few hours looking for an easy way to navigate through textboxes embeded in a Radgrid using the arrow keys.

    I found the solution below but putting this in place takes a while and it's a bit to complicated for the lazy guy I am  :

    But I finally found a really easy way of doing this (setup in 1 min) using jQuery, you just need to copy/past the code below in your aspx, and it works perfectly : (IE and Chrome)

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
     $('input').keyup(function(e){
      if(e.which==39)
       $(this).closest('td').next().find('input').focus();
      else if(e.which==37)
       $(this).closest('td').prev().find('input').focus();
      else if(e.which==40)
       $(this).closest('tr').next().find('td:eq('+$(this).closest('td').index()+')').find('input').focus();
      else if(e.which==38)
       $(this).closest('tr').prev().find('td:eq('+$(this).closest('td').index()+')').find('input').focus();
     });
    });
    </script>

    I'm not saying that's the most efficient way of doing it, but it's quick and easy :)

    Cheers !
