Hi Ibrahim,

You can try the following code snippet to access the column name on the client side when clicking the header of RadGrid.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript" >
function OnColumnClick(sender, eventArgs)
{
    alert("Click on column-header: " + eventArgs.get_gridColumn().get_uniqueName());
}
</script>

If you want to get the column name when clicking the grid cells, then you can try attaching OnClick event for each column and pass the column name as a parameter to client side function. See the example below.
CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

{

GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

item["CategoryName"].Attributes.Add("OnClick", "return getColumn('" + "CategoryName" + "');");

//Do the same for each Column

}

}

Then at clicent side:

<script type="text/javascript">

function getColumn(un)

{

alert(un);

}

</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.
