Client Side Drop Down List Reference

[Loi]

Hi All,

I have a column inside my grid that hold a drop down list.  On client side or in a Javascript function, anyone know a correct way to make a reference to that drop down list?

This is what I have in my code:

var grid = <%= rgDRFormASPPFCaseInfo.ClientID %>;

var tableView = grid.MasterTableView;

var ID = tableView.GetCellByColumnUniqueName(tableView.Rows[RowIndex],"ID").innerHTML;

var ddlList = tableView.GetCellByColumnUniqueName(tableView.Rows[RowIndex],"Answer");

Please help

Thanks

Hi Loi,

Is the DropDownList inside a GridTemplateColumn? Check out the code library submission which shows how to access a control in the grid template on the client side.

the example specified does not work for me.

Can you give another example where theis scenario is implemented.

I want to find a dropdownlist in the edititemtemplate of a grid on clientside on the click of another dropdownlist in the same row.

Hi,

although the dropdown in the editForm is accessible on the client, the approach is not very straightforward. Therefore, I would suggest that you use the server ItemDataBound event handler, to get a reference to the editForm item, and then assign the ClientId to a hidden input on the page. Accessing the hidden input through client side code, later on, will give you access to the desired element(s).
I hope this suggestion helps.
