How to access the onClick event handler

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a form with a GridView on it. In the GridView's RowDataBound event I add the onClick event as follow:

C#

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "divexpandcollapse('" + WorkItemID.Value + "','" + txnID.Value + "')");

I call the the Javascript method "divexpandcollapse" which takes some parameters.

How can I access the onClick event in my code behind file, for example, if the row click happens for a certain row, I need the javascript function to be executed and some method in my code behind file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried this, but it does not seem to reach the click event of the button
