Hi,

I'm pulling data into a gridview and allowing the user to update the data in template columns (textboxes). I want to validate the data entered on the client side by iterating through all the cells before I update the DB. I have no problem accessing the value of non-template Gridview cells using the following code

document.getElementById("<%=grdEmployeeBudget.Clie ntID %>").rows[1].cells[0].innerText;

but it returns an empty string on the template columns. Any ideas on how to access those cell values? thanks in advance for the help!!

Hi,

I got the answer from another forum, so I thought I'd post the answer. This code grabs the value from anything that's an "input" control and dumpit into an array - validations easy from there.

function validateGridData()
{
var inputs = [];
var i;
inputs = document.getElementById("<%=grdEmployeeBudget.Clie ntID %>").getElementsByTagName("input");

for (i in inputs)
{
if (i != "length")
{
if (isNaN(inputs[i].value) == true || inputs[i].value.length < 1)
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
