JavaScript "$find" for object in "ItemTemplate"

[Tomasz]

Hello,

I need to write js function for custom validation of the ComboBox. Unfortunately this ComboBox is defined within ItemTemplate. So my
js code fails with message like " object not found in this context " :
.....

var

 

cbxDate = $find("<%= ComboBox.ClientID %>");
......
. How can I solve this issue?

Regards
Tomasz

Hi Tomsaz,

You can try finding the rendered id by capturing it from the F12.
You can try this

 $find("<%# ComboBox.ClientID %>");

$get("<%# ComboBox.ClientID %>")._element.

Thanks.

Hello Badri,

I am not quite sure about the scenario. I suppose you want to access the RadComboBox which is side the ItemTemplate of the RadGrid.
If that is the case you can access the control using the findControl() method. Here is a sample code for accessing the control in RowClick event.
aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="total">
      <ItemTemplate>
       <telerik:RadComboBox ID="Combo1" runat="server"></telerik:RadComboBox>
      </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
<ClientSettings ClientEvents-OnRowClick="onRowClick">
</ClientSettings>

Javascript:

function onRowClick(sender, args)
  {
       var combo = args.get_gridDataItem().findControl("Combo1");
  }

Thanks,
Shinu.
