[Solved] Custom Validation for radgrid

[John]

I have a unique reqiuremnt for validation.

I have 2 bound fields and a calculated fiels that is the difference of the 2 bound fields.
if the difference is not zero than the user must add a comment (a third bound field).  The validation must make sure something is in the comment field.  If the difference is zero the comment is optional

I am using a custom validator and i a correctly entering it.  I guess what i need is a javascript function that will return me the value of a calculated field

Thanks in advance, john

Hello John,

You can use RadGrid's client-side API to get a reference to the cell in which your input is placed:

var grid = $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID%>');
var master = grid.get_masterTableView();
var item = master.get_dataItems()[5]; // gets the 5th data item in the table
var cell = item.get_cell("Price"); //get the <td> cell element under column "Price"
var textInput = cell.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];

The above mentioned example will reference the input element in the "Price" cell of the 5th row.

All the best,
