Datagrid - when in edit mode can I interact with Javascript events

[StuckInTheMiddle]

HI there,

I had a datagrid bound to my dataset and have the appropriate edit template setup so that users can make changes and submit them. And all is well in the world, except they want some client side validation on the inputs.

Can i attach a javascript to the onblur event for instance of the textbox that gets shown on my edittemplate to say validate a date. This no need to go back to the server. Kinda almost like a validation control.

A,

Yes, you can. If you've created the TextBox inside the template then just add the onblur event to it as you would normally (the only issue you may encounter is that you will have to use the CliebtID property of the TextBox in order to get a reference to it in javascript). Alternatively, you can use a Validator control in the same manner as you normally would.
