Getting the value of a textbox in the edititem part of a Gridview

[monkeymagic2222]

Hi,

I have some code that uses a pop up calendar to select a date. Once the date is selected it passes back to the specified text box on the form. This works fine on all my pages except when I use it in the editItem part of a Gridview. All I want to know is what I need to add to the following statement so I can get the value from the row I am currently editing, I know each row has it's own unique ID so the GridView1$txtStartDate will not work:

<asp:TextBox ID="txtStartDate" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("start_date") %>'></asp:TextBox><a href="javascript:GetDate('Gridview1$txtStartDate')"><img alt="PopUp Calendar" src="SmallCalendar.gif" /></a>

If you need to see the GetDate function, it's:

<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript">
function GetDate(CtrlName)
{
ChildWindow = window.open('Calendar.aspx?FormName=' + document.forms[0].name + '&CtrlName=' + CtrlName, "PopUpCalendar", "width=270,height=300,top=200,left=200,toolbars=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,resizable=no");
}
function CheckWindow()
{
ChildWindow.close();
}

</script>

I've seen a lot of stuff about similar sorts of problems but they all seem a bit complex for what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks

You will need to use the ClientId property of the TextBox.

But isn't the ClientID different depending on which row is being edited? i.e. GridView1_ctl03_txtEndDate for row 3
or GridView1_ctl04_txtEndDate for row 4.

Is there something like GridView1_SelectedRow_txtEndDate I can use?
