I want to apply autocomplete in gridview (in asp.net3.5 with C#) using jquery and this gridview is within the ajax

XML

<update id=""UpdatePanel1"" runat=""server"><br" mode="hold" />    <ContentTemplate>.

For this i am using method within the <ItemTemplate>

C#

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('[id$=txtItemCode]').autocomplete("SearchItem.aspx").result(function (event, data, formatted) {
        if (data) {
            alert('Value: '+ data[1]);
        }
        else {
            $('[id$=txtItemID]').val('-1');
        }
    });
    });

since in gridview the textbox id is

XML

<asp:TextBox id="txtItemCode" />

but
on browser such as

XML

<input type="textbox" id="ctl00_otherName_101txtItemCode" />

and then for the next row same textbox id is now

XML

 <input type="textbox" id="ctl00_otherName_102txtItemCode" />
i tried
1. put this code within the <ItemTemplate>
2. <%= txtItemCode.ClientID %>
3. $("*[@id$=theGridId] input[@id$=txtItemCode]")
4. jQuery.expr[':'].asp = function(elem, i, match) {
    return (elem.id && elem.id.match(match[3] + "$"));
};
and $(":asp(txtItemCode)").autocomplete...
5.$('.txtItemCode').autocomplete("LookupCodes.aspx?type=IC", { mustMatch: true })

but autocomplete does not work in all the cases
plz help me.

hi,

one probable solve of this problem is using a dummy class and then use that as reference for jquery instead of textbox's id. This way rendered id will not be an issue for auto complete. Use this code for textbox's inside <itemtemplate></itemtemplate>

<asp:TextBox id="txtItemCode" CssClass="dummyDataBinder" />

then reference using class name

C#

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('.dummyDataBinder')
    .autocomplete("SearchItem.aspx")
    .result(function (event, data, formatted)
    {
            if (data)
        {
                    alert('Value: '+ data[1]);
            }
            else
        {
                    $('.dummyDataBinder').val('-1');
            }
        });
});
