[Solved] Subscribing to events with Javascript

[David]

The documentation tells how to subscribe to client events using a C# method on the server:

.ClientEvents(events => events.OnLoad("Grid_onLoad"))

But I've got a need to subscribe through Javascript, as the handlers won't be on an immediately accessible object. How do you do this?

Hello David,

I think subscribing to the onLoad event from client-code will not work as it fires very early (during document.ready()). Still you can try this:

$("#Grid").bind("load", function(e) {
   alert("1");
});

You can bind to all events like this except to OnRowDataBound. As an optimization we are raising it only when subscribed from the server side.

Thanks. I was able to hook in early enough to get the load event to fire. It's also worth noting that the name of the event in this case is lower camel-cased: load, dataBinding, etc.
