I have a gridview that displays a list of files on screen. The column in this view is an asp link button titled Edit. When I click edit, I want to get the value of the commandargument in a javascript function.
function OnEditClick(s, e)
{
console.log('on edit click fired')
var values = [];
values[0] = "Enter document description";
values[1] = "Edit";
values[3] = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
console.log('slowly but surely getting there from here... '+ values[3])
}
<asp:GridView AlternatingRowStyle-CssClass="gridViewAlternatingRow"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="Id"
HeaderStyle-CssClass="gridViewHeader"
ID="gvDocuments"
ClientInstanceName="gvDocument"
OnRowEditing="OnRowEditing"
RowStyle-CssClass="gridViewRow" runat="server" Caption="DocumentList" CaptionAlign="Right">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton CommandArgument='<%#Bind("Id") %>' CommandName="DocDownload" ID="lnkDownload"
runat="server" Text="Download">
</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" HeaderText="ID">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label CssClass="txtAlignCenter" ID="lblId" runat="server" Text='<%#Bind("Id") %>' Width="50px"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Type">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblContentType" runat="server" Text='<%#Bind("ContentType") %>' Width="210px"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblDescription" runat="server" Text='<%#Bind("Description") %>' Width="380px"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Document Desc">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblDocDescription" runat="server" Text='<%#Bind("DocumentDescription") %>' Width="380px">
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="lnkEditButton"
OnClientClick="OnEditClick()"
Text="Edit" CommandName="EditDocument"
CommandArgument='<%#Eval("Id")%>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
When I use the following code, I get an error in the chrome console stating that the property CommandArgument is undefined. The exact text of the error is
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'CommandArgument' of undefined
What is missing in my code?
at OnEditClick (Default.aspx:34)
I would add a separate data property to the LinkButton and read from that.
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="lnkEditButton"
OnClientClick="OnEditClick(this.id)"
Text="Edit" CommandName="EditDocument"
CommandArgument='<%# Eval("Id") %>'
data-argument='<%# Eval("Id") %>' />
Then in OnEditClick
you can read that property.
<script>
function OnEditClick(element) {
alert($('#' + element).data('argument'));
}
</script>
Update
Without jQuery you can do this. Make sure you change to OnClientClick="OnEditClick(this)"
<script>
function OnEditClick(element) {
alert(element.getAttribute('data-argument'));
}
</script>
