retrieving selected grid rows - alternative to getCellByColumnUniqueName ?

[Alex]

Hello,

I followed the example in this URL to obtain the values of selected rows in the client clientside:

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

This is my code:

        var masterTableView = $find("RadGrid1").get_masterTableView();
        var selectedRows = masterTableView.get_selectedItems();
        var count = selectedRows.length;
        for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            var row = selectedRows[i];
            var cell = masterTableView.getCellByColumnUniqueName(row, "Name");

getCellByColumnUniqueName gets me the values from cell.innerHTML, however the values contain the <span ..> element markup enclosing the value, which I don't want. Is there another way to get the values without having to parse out the <span> markup?  I tried the following but it doesn't work:

            // this doesn't work
            // var dataItem = selectedDataItems[i];
            // alert(dataItem.getDataKeyValue('Name'));

Thank you,
Alex

Hi Alex,

You need to set "Name" in ClientDataKeyNames in order to use getDataKeyValue() client-side method.

All the best,

  var cell = MasterTable.getCellByColumnUniqueName(row, "myColName");

The above works when it's a regular BoundColumn.   How do I get the values of child control within a GridTemplateColumn?

Something like this:  (which doesn't work)
  var cell = MasterTable.getCellByColumnUniqueName(row, "myColName").findcontrol("myCntrlWithin_MyColName");

Hi  Lenny_shp,

Go through the following code library submission which explains how to access server controls in a Grid template on the client side.
