Hyperlink as a TableCell

[RA]

While dynamically creating the table; I am adding a hyperlink as a TableCell
where text is "Delete". Initially it is disabled and if a checkbox is
selected from a table then it gets enabled. Even though it is disabled, if I
click on that cell it fires onClick event.
The other concern is it does not show Hand as its cursor; which we would
expect from a hyperlink. (NOTE: I am also adding hyperlinks to few other
TableCells, which are not disabled in the begining or any time. Those links
behaves fine.)

Any Suggestions?

for the cursor
Style="Cursor:Hand;"


As for the other, how are you disabling it?

The following code I am using to add "Delete" Hyperlink

Dim HLink As New HyperLink
HLink.ID = "DelLink"
HLink.Enabled = False
HLink.Attributes.Add("onClick", _
"return confirm('Are you Sure you want to delete " & _
"selected items?');")
HLink.navigateURL = "MasterReasonCode.aspx"
HLink.Text = "Delete"
hdrRow.Cells.Add(HLink))

As soon as any checkbox is checked; it gets enabled. For that I am using
JavaScript.

Thank you for prompt reply.

You are saying that when you have it Enabled=False it's still firing the
onClick? Is it also going to the specified URL or just sitting on the page?

Tested, it's an HTML limitation it looks like.
Maybe Hide/Show two different values, one with the HREF one without, with
the javascript.
Either way, might want to hit up an html group.

As I have following code for hyperlink

HLink.Attributes.Add("onClick", _
"return confirm('Are you Sure you want to delete " & _
"selected items?');")

Clicking that link(TableCell) it pops up a messagebox asking 'Are you sure
you want to delete selected items?' with "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons.

I have not written the code to delete items yet.

Well thats a good idea for confirmation!

a hypelink renders as an anchor. there is no disable property for them in
html. also if there is no href specified, they will not render underlines or
hover mode (cursor). if you are doing a onclick, the standard url is "#".

to disable, don't set the url, or javascript. to enable, set the href to
"#", and add the onclick handler.

As per your suggestion, I have added a label control and a Hyperlink control
in the same cell. Using following JavaScript to make them visible and
invisible.

function EnableBtn(theform)
{ if (rowsSelected != 0)
{ document.getElementById("DelLink").visible = true;
document.getElementById("DelLabel").visible = false; }
else
{ document.getElementById("DelLink").visible = false;
document.getElementById("DelLabel").visible = true; } }

When I debug through this code and try to see in the immediate window for
'document.getElementById("DelLink")' it shows null.

Other controls just shows fine where TableCell has only one control. But for
these two controls ('DelLink' and 'DelLabel') it displays null.

any clue?
