Getting cell values for selected rows client side

[Eric]

I read this topic below:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdgettingcellvaluesforselectedrowsclientside.html

But my scenario is like this:
1.> I have 3-level heirarchy.
2.> In my client-side script, it is possible for a user to select a row that belongs to any heirarchy
3.> What I want to retrieve is a value on one of the fields from the 1st level of the hierarchy

The code sample on the link works fine if I select a row that belongs to the 1st level of the grid itself. If I select the second and third levels, wrong values are retrieved.

Hello Eric,

You can try out the following code to get the cell text when you select a row in a hierarchy.
js:

    function RowSelected(sender, eventArgs)
    {
     var dataItem = $get(eventArgs.get_id());
     var rows =eventArgs.get_tableView().get_selectedItems();
     for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
      {
        var row = rows[i];
        var masterCell = eventArgs.get_tableView().getCellByColumnUniqueName(row, "ColumnUniqueName");

       alert(masterCell.innerHTML);
     }

Thanks
Princy.

This doesn't work for me as this code snippet seems to be designed as an event handler.

My problem is, after a user selects rows in any level of the hierarchy, i want to be able to get the value of one of the fields from the 1st level of the hierarchy where they belong to
