Hi, I want to use a html5 button tag in the gridview item template. But none of the events/redirection that I write onclick of the button doesn't work (Both server & client).

XML

<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div class="buttons"> <!-- onEditClick('<%#Eval("TemplateId") %>','<%#Request.QueryString["UserName"] %>')  -->
                                    <button id="btnEditTemplate" class="positive" onclick="window.location.href='TemplateEdit.aspx?TemplateId=0'" >
                                        <img src="./styles/ico_edit.png" alt=""/> 
                                        Edit
                                    </button>
        </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

In case of a server side event, then I need to get the instance of that button clicked in the gridview command, to get appropriate row clicked.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try:

HTML

onclick="buttonClick('0')"

JavaScript

function buttonClick(tID)
{
   window.location.href='TemplateEdit.aspx?TemplateId='+tID;
   return false;
}

Hi Sandeep, Many thanks for you help, I tried that too, but the function just submits to the same page i guess, nothing else happens. This is what happens in the function, the alert gets fired, but not the redirect. Thanks in advance for your time.

<script type="text/javascript">
function onEditClick(TemplateId, UserName) {
alert("TemplateEdit.aspx?TemplateId=" + TemplateId + "&UserName=" + UserName)
window.location.href = "www.gmail.com"; //"TemplateEdit.aspx?TemplateId=" + TemplateId + "&UserName=" + UserName;
return false;
}
</script>

So, your next steps are to check if url is correct or not. Then if needed, use windows.navigate in order to go to that page.

Thanks a lot Sandeep, I have managed to fix it. The javascript is expecting the complete url in the location.href. Many thanks for your time, much appreciated.
