ASP.NET 2.0 Details View manipulation.

[wilberforce2]

OK I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem that I have.

I am trying to manipulate two fields based on a postcode that has been entered into a details view. The postcode field is databound to a database and so is the two other fileds fldLat and fldLong.

What I want to do is to before the update takes place, take the entered postcode and geocode it into Latitude and Longitude using Javascript place the Lat/long into the relevant textboxes and update the database

Any ideas where to start? I can even get the information in and out of the details view .

forum216 can help with the javascript.
if your having problems miniplulating the detailsview try a formsview instead.

if your going to calculate the lat/lng then either mark the textbox read-only or use a label. if it's a default textbox the user can enter an invalid value.
