Using jquery with EditItemTemplate of Datalist control

Is it possible to access controls inside EditItemTemplate of Datalist control using jquery. I have difficult time doing it, because "Edit" row is not rendered in html.

The only alternative I thanked of is not using DataList EditItemTemplate, but rather go only with jquery to hide and show rows and use ajax to update the contents of a row.

But, I would still want to hear option for EditItemTemplate and jquery.

Thanks

the html is rendered but only when you click on [Edit] see this post it shoud help you http://forums.asp.net/t/1668230.aspx/1

try this: javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {         
        showID();
    });

    function showID() {         
        if ($("[id*=QtyTextBox]").length)
            alert($("[id*=QtyTextBox]").attr("id"));
    }
</script>

EditItemTemplate:

<EditItemTemplate>              
            Quantity:
            <asp:TextBox ID="QtyTextBox" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Qty") %>'
                runat="server" />
            <br />              
            <asp:LinkButton ID="UpdateButton" Text="Update" CommandName="Update"
                runat="server" />               
        </EditItemTemplate>
