Hi,

 I have a simple datagrid with bound datacolumns.

 I can add a button to fire off a server side event and all
 works fine.

  If I add a regular HTML button or label and specify an
  'OnClick' event (which calls a client side script) - nothing
  happens. Can i use HTML buttons/labels to generate onclick
  activity from within a databound asp:datagrid?

TIA.

Hey,

I wonder if your issue is a non-unique ID when you access it. You should be able to, I would imagine.

Remember that the HTML button's or link's onClick event handler is client-side. If you want to have a datagrid's row contain a server side button or link, you need to use a ButtonColumn.

I want to use a client-side HTML button in a bound
datagrid. I want the button's onclick to trigger a
client-side script.

I also have server-side buttons in the datagrid that work ok.

When I try and click on the HTML client-side buttons - nothing
happens.

I have set unique IDs on all buttons and still no results.

Can I mix server-side and client-side buttons in a bound
datagrid or should I use a table or repeater ?

Yes you can mix them. I'm not sure why you are having problems. Making this work shouldn't involve any .NET code, it's just plain HTML. Can you post the relavent markup and code-behind? How are you setting the onClick attribute of the HTML elements?

Hi,

 I have left out other bits of code for ease of reading.
 I have left out other columns that are just simple text fields.
 The script is contained in the header section.

 The first button - Id=btndetail works fine.

 When I click on label id = lab99 it wont fire off the script
 function.

 Please see HTML below.

<script>
  function DoMessage() {
    Alert("Hi ya!");
  }
</script>


<Columns>
  <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Detail">
    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Button ID="btnDetail" width="50px" font-size="smaller"
         ForeColor="#0000ff" runat="server"
    Text="Detail" commandname="Detail">
        </asp:Button>
    </ItemTemplate>
  </asp:TemplateColumn>

  <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Detail">
    <ItemTemplate>
    <Label id ="lab99" onclick="DoMessage();" >Memo</Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
  </asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>

Does any of this help?
TIA.

Hey,

I think your issue is that the label can't generate an onclick event. In your case, this isn't an ASP.NET server control, it's a label for another field, which describes that field. For example:

<Label for="txtTextBox">Enter Text</Label>
<input type="text" id="txtTextBox" name="txtTextBox"></input>

However, the "onClick" attribute is applicable to practically every HTML element. Confirm that the onclick attribute is or isn't being written out in the source HTML. Maybe the <label> element is one that doesn't support onClick. Looks like it does:

Learn something new everytime...... Peter does the label ID have to be unique to not cause problems? Above the label with lab99 would be repeated many times?

Any HTML that is in a repeating template will repeat as is. If the template has a server control (anything with runat="server") the control will get a unique ID.
