[Solved] can't $find grid in UserControl

[Ryan]

I have a RadGrid in a UserControl (.ascx) file.  In the javascript, I want to get a reference to the grid itself.  However, calling

 $find("<%= UserContactsGrid.ClientID %>")

returns null.  Is there a problem with finding grids inside of ascx controls?

Thanks.

Hello Ryan,

I suppose you are trying to get a reference to the client object too early. Please examine the following thread for more information.
Javascript $find function
