How to highlight row when button is clicked

[Alan]

I have a RadGrid that sits inside an UpdatePanel. I have the following template column defined:

                        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Answers" HeaderText="Edit" DataField="Id">
                                <ItemTemplate>
                                    <asp:LinkButton OnClientClick="$(this).parent().parent().css('backgroundColor', 'cyan');" ID="btnViewAnswers" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("Id") %>'
                                        CssClass="icolink btn_list" OnClick="btnViewAnswers_Click">Answers</asp:LinkButton>
                                </ItemTemplate>
                            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

How do I highlight the row when clicked? I am using jQuery now to change the background color and its working, but I think the updatepanel is doing an ajax call and then the radgrid is losing the css.

Hi,

Please try the following approach to give background color to a row when LinkButton in that row is clicked.

C#:

protected void btnViewAnswers_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    LinkButton btn = (LinkButton)sender;
    GridDataItem ditem = (GridDataItem)btn.NamingContainer;
    ditem.CssClass = "color";
}

CSS:

<style>
    .color
    {
        background-color:Red !important;
    }
</style>

Thanks,
Shinu.
