Accessing Detailsview data data via JavaScript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 11.2007

I have a page with a detailsview containing a number of template fields, displaying data in asp:text boxes. I now want to use JavaScript to take the values and pass them back to the parent/opening window, but I’ve hit a few issues.

The detailsview is called detailsview1 and the text box holding the data is called txtFinalFname. I am then trying to access the value with

[B]document.form1.DetailsView1.txtFinalFname.value[/B]

but getting a JavaScript error “[I]document.form1.DetailsView1.txtFinalFname is null or not an object[/I]”.

How can I gain access to this data to pass it back to the parent window?

Thanks

@TheFlashauthorApr 11.2007 — I tried that, but it gives me the error [I]document.form1.txtFinalFname is null or not an object[/I]

Even though it is declared in my markup exactly as below:


[CODE]
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FNAMES" SortExpression="FNAMES">
<EditItemTemplate></EditItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate> </InsertItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtFinalFname" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("FNAMES") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>[/CODE]

Success!
