Question

I have a javascript function that I am trying to validate the inputs of a gridview. My problem is that I cannot get the value of the cell. Here is what I have:

    function fcnCheck() {
        var grid = document.getElementById("<%= GridViewProducts.ClientID %>");
        var cellPivot;

        if (grid.rows.length > 0) {
            for (i = 1; i < grid.rows.length-1; i++) {
                cellPivot = grid.rows[i].cells[0];
                cellStatus = grid.rows[i].cells[1];
                if (cellPivot == "Yes" and cellStatus == "") {
                    alert("You must select an answer for all columns if Pivot is yes")
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
    }

This line does not work: cellPivot = grid.rows[i].cells[0];

Answer 1

Most likely you want (edit)

var theDropdown = grid.rows[i].cells[0].elements[0];    
var selIndex = theDropdown.selectedIndex;
cellPivot = theDropdown.options[selIndex].value;

Another possibly easier or more reliable way to do this would be to tag the cells controls you want in some way and select them directly?
