get column(0) cell value on row click client side

[Chris]

My query string in the window.open is not working correctly,
but my real issue is being able to grab the first column's cell value
when someone clicks in a cell on the grid.  So var SITE wouldn't be hard coded, it would get the value
on the client side to pass to the window.open..
I found an example from 2008 on the site, but I can't get it to work
even if I completly replace my code with it.  Any help is appreciated.

<script type="text/javascript" >

      function RowClick(sender, args)

      {

          var grid = sender;

          var MasterTable = sender.get_masterTableView();

          var cellindex = args.get_domEvent().target.cellIndex

          var DOS = MasterTable.get_columns()[cellindex].get_uniqueName();

          var SITE = "140006"

          window.open("'Detail.aspx?1=" & DOS & "&2=" & SITE & "',newwindow","toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,width=300,height=300,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,top=200,left=250");return false;

      }

   </script>

Hello,

Try the following java script.
JS:

function RowClick(sender, args)
  {
     var grid = sender;
     var masterTable = grid.get_masterTableView();
     var row = args.get_gridDataItem();
     var cell = masterTable.getCellByColumnUniqueName(row, "UniqueName");
     alert(cell.innerHTML);
  }

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks much! It appears to not work on a hidden column.  Is that possible to do?

[Chris]

or does that have to be done server side?

Hello,

One suggestion is you can set ClientDataKeyNames of hidden column and access that as shown below.
JS:

function RowClick(sender, args)
{
  var key=args.getDataKeyValue("UniqueName");
  alert(key);
}

Thanks,
Princy.
