[Solved] Get column value from parent table in a hierarchical grid using javascript

[Polaris431]

I have a hierarchical grid - the Master table and a details table. When the user expands a row in the parent table the details table is loaded. The details table has an Add New Record button. When this is pressed, I need to obtain the value of some column in the parent row that was expanded. This must be done on the client-side using javascript. Note: the parent row is not selected, it's just expanded, so I cannot rely upon obtaining the selected row. I could not find any API method for the client side on how to obtain a value in the parent row. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Johann

Hello,

When an action is triggered within a detail table, for example a row is selected or clicked, you can get a reference to the master item, by using the get_parentRow() method for the detail table client side object.
I hope this gets you started properly.
