How to access buttonID in Javascript

[Jeff]

 

 

 

I want to call the click event handler for my iteminsert / itemupdate button from javascript.  How can i reference this button with ID="btnUpdate" as shown below.

I try to use document.getElementById but it is not found. I am guessing this is because the edit form is hidden.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

 

 

<

EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">

 

 

 

<FormTemplate>

 

 

 

....
<

asp:Button ID="btnUpdate" TabIndex="3" Text='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "Insert" : "Update" %>'

 

 

 

 

runat="server" CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "PerformInsert" : "Update" %>'>

 

 

 

</asp:Button>

Hello Jeff,

I found the following code library submission on accessing controls inside templates in the grid on client side. Go through it, probably you may find it helpful.

When i put the function 'GetGridServerElement' in the javascript container i get the error message:

The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>). 

function

GetGridServerElement(serverID, tagName)

 

{

 

debugger;

 

 

if (!tagName)

 

tagName =

"*"; //* means all elements

 

 

 

var grid = $get("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>");

 

 

debugger;

 

 

var elements = grid.getElementsByTagName(tagName);

 

 

for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)

 

{

 

var element = elements[i];

 

 

if (element.id.indexOf(serverID) >= 0)

 

 

return element;

 

}

}

Please examine the following articles in order to avoid the depicted error:

I was able to resolve by placing the javascript container inside a <div runat="server">
