Hello,

Has anyone been able to use a javascript onclick event to change the selectedindex property of a datagrid?
 
The onclick event of what? A checkbox, button, datgrid cell?

And for what purpose? To set the selected index to the row that a user selects?

You'll have to give a bit more info if you want a better reponse...

sorry,

I am trying to have the row onclick event change the selectedindex. I think I have an ugly solution that might work. I am going to bind the onclick event to each row in the item_databind. The event is going to redirect back to the same page with a querystring of which row sent the response. I am a newb with javascript so I am not quite sure if this will work as expected. There is probably a cleaner way to do it also. Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated.
 
ok,

That didn't work as I expected. I am now trying to make a select command column that I can make invisible (but have it show up in the html). Then I am going to try to make javascript fire the select button for the desired row that was clicked.
 
I have this all worked out except for one problem. I can't seem to get the html id of the select control that is created from a select command button in a datagrid. I thought that there would be some way to get the html id in the datagrid_itemcreated event but I haven't found a way to do it yet. Is there no way to get the html id that is going to be rendered from the server side code?
