Hi,

Can you explain your problem properly?

Ya sure

For example i have 2 div tags and i know the id of the second tag.I need to get the ID of the 1st div tag dynamically using the second div tag Id.Did you get it?

In principle, this is possible using DOM, but why? Isn't that more appropriate to have an Id for a div in question?

Be more specific to get appropriate answer

if you want to access divid in javascript then use this

JavaScript

var divid=document.getElementById('<%=divid.ClientID %>');

Hi,

I tried something for your requirement

HTML

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
   <script language ="javascript" >
        $(document).ready(function (av) {
         
        });
        function getid(tid) {
            alert(document.getElementById(tid).previousSibling.id);
            
        }
    </script>
 

</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    
    <div id="maincontent">
      <div id="frstdiv">this is first div tag</div>
      <div id="scnddiv" onclick="getid(this.id)">this is second div</div>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html></html>

All the Best
