You gotta do something. Maybe you just want to use a straight HTML Control
and hook it's onclick event property to client-side javascript?

Well, since an ASP:Button is a server side control, there is no non-postback
functionality on it. If you click it, it will postback.

So you're limited to client side code. Only button control to handle
clientside code and not postback, is an HTML Button, which you'll find in
the HTML tab of your toolbox. Like this:

<script language="javascript">
function myJavaScriptFunction() {
//do some stuff here
}
</script>

.....and then in your HTML body somewhere....:

<input type="Button" value="Click me!" onclick="myJavaScriptFunction();">

That help you any?

Make it a client-side button (no runat="server").
<input type="button" onclick="myHandler();" >

Hi Jeppe,
I tried to used HTML button, it does not fire postback event. But how can I
do some process on the datagrid from javascript function? Actually there is
textbox in the datagrid, when the button is clicked, I want to update the
textbox. Could you show me a sample?
Thanks.

Hmmm....

In your first post, I understood that you didn't want the postback event.
Could you post the html from your aspx page, along with a description of the
exact functionality of your page. Will try to help, but no guarantees...

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Amount">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox OnTextChanged="RowChanged" id=txtAmountSell runat="server"

</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Percentage">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox OnTextChanged="RowChanged" id=txtPctSell runat="server"
Width="100px" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.trx_pct") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="All">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button id="btnAllSell" runat="server" Width="33px"
Text="All"></asp:Button>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Specific Cell">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox id=chbcellSell runat="server" Width="10px" Height="8px"
Enabled='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.gia") %>'>
</asp:CheckBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</aspataGrid></P>

what I want to do is when btnAllSell button is clicked, get data from
BoundColumn DataField="ava_units", fill it into txtUnitsSell textbox.

Units/Shares"></asp:BoundColumn>

what I want to do is when btnAllSell button is clicked, get data from
BoundColumn DataField="ava_units", fill it into txtUnitsSell textbox.

Me thinks me sees the light.

First of all I would change the btnAllSell to a buttoncolumn, and set the
columns commandName to "ItemCommand". Also, for starters, set the buttonType
on the column to "LinkButton". Somehting like this:
<asp:ButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" Text="Sell All"
CommandName="ItemCommand" />

Then, in the Datagrids ItemCommand event, i would do something like the
following. Note that my column names are different than yours, so don't
copy-paste too much Anyways, like this:
CType(e.Item.FindControl("txtCopiedCompanyName"), TextBox).Text =
CType(e.Item.FindControl("lblCompanyName"), Label).Text

That should move the value. However, to retain copied values for more than
one field through multiple "copy" clicks, you would probably have to push
the copied field into your dataset or database. Try it out. Hope it helps
you out....

Hi Jeppe,
Thanks.
Your approach works fine, but it causes postback event. Any idea how can I
do it without postback event?
