Get clientid of a control inside a datagrid or a user control in client side so you can use this id in
document.getelementById( ) for some client side programming
function GetClientId(strid)
{
var count=document.forms[0].length;
var i=0;
var eleName;
for (i=0; i < count; i++ )
{
eleName=document.forms[0].elements[i].id;
pos=eleName.indexOf(strid);
if(pos>=0) break;
}
return eleName;
}
Pass orginal server side id you given to the control as argument ( If you have a button
btnSave in
you user control pass this to the function)

Not as simple as just the smiley [:D] . I think the code should be as below. Not been able to check properly though.
function GetClientId(strid)
{
var count=document.forms[0].length;
var i=0;
var eleName;
for (i=0; i < count; i++ )
{
eleName=document.forms[0].elements[i].id;
pos=eleName.indexOf(strid);
if(pos>=0) break;
}
return eleName;
}
And since I found this post but it was of little help this tip might be useful for anyone else who passes.
If you make a user control and add an object with an id e.g. "MyTextBox", and you then insert the completed user control into a form calling the user control e.g. "MyControl" you will find that the textbox object created on the form gets the element name
"MyControl_MyTextBox". That is every element of the user control has the name of that control together with an underscore Prefixed. So you can use that in your script.
Not yet found how to use the Get_ClientID function so that I do not have to make assumptions about the user control ID in the script.
OK it works. I have a user control which contains a text box with an id of "txt_Date". I added the control to a form and the user control has the id "DateSelector1". So on the web form the text box gets the id "DateSelector1_txt_Date". If I call the Get_ClientId
function like this
GetClientId("txt_Date")
then it returns "DateSelector1_txt_Date" (without quotes). So it does the job.
This is a better one in my opinion as with the one we have here certain elements are not returned (html image elements, for example)
function GetClientId(strid)
{
var count=document.getElementsByTagName ('*').length; //<-- gets all elements, instead of Forms as this only returns FORM elements
var i=0;
var eleName;
for (i=0; i < count; i++ )
{
eleName=document.getElementsByTagName ('*')[i].id;
pos=eleName.indexOf(strid);
if(pos>=0) break;
}
return eleName;
}
I have a datagrid with embedded controls. The function works fine as long as there is only one row in the grid but im experiencing problems when grid has several rows.
The controlname returned will always be the one of the first row of the grid. Is there any way I can find out which row the wanted control is comming from?
If the question seems fuzzy please say so and I will try to elaborate.

Hello to the people that like to bring this forum back from the dead.
If you used your mouse to go over the emoticaon ( [Idea] ) you will notice that it is a Barcket "[" followed bt "I" followed by closing Braket "]"
So all you need to do is replace [Idea] with [I]
Due to this happening all the time in the past they have changed the way emoticons work.
Hope that helps you out.

This code seems not to be working if you have controls inside GridView, Repeater etc.
For all rows the indexOf(ControlId) >= 0 will be true.

another way is
<asp:TextBox ID='TextBox1' runat="server" />
<script>
function showAlert()
{
alert('<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>');
}
</script>
