Getting Selected Datalist Row

[tjherman]

I'm trying to set the focus to a specific field (on exit of another field within a datalist that is set to run a calculation and autopostback). Because the web page does an autopostback after I exit the first field, my cursor history is lost. I'm trying to specify the exact row and field to which I want to set the focus but I don't know how to determine what row the user was on in the datalist.

I've tried messing with the EditItemIndex but am not getting it.

Anyone know how to do this?

You could use javascript and pass the position back via a hidden input.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough javascript to do this. Thanks for the input though.

You might have to learn some if you want to add the functionality you require.

Off the wall, you could use Ajax to eliminate the post back. I have seen this work over at the MS site but never tried it.
Good luck.
