how do I simulate a click event

[dove11]

I'm trying to simulate the click event for a linkbutton in a template column on a datagrid. This is a web form. I cannot get the DataGrid's onitemcommand event to fire. I tried bubbling events and couldn't get it to work (see posting dated 5/22/2006 16:33). Is there another way, through a timer or some other method that I can get this to work? I have a client who wants this feature and is ready to pull some work out if we can't get it to work. Thanks for your help.

you can add the linkbutton in the template column, set it's onclick attribute, create the event handler, it will trigger just fine. you might have a bit of trouble trying to sort out on what row the linkbutton that fired the event was, you can find that out using the ParentControl property of the linkbutton i'll try to find a code snipet in some of my projects and post it for you

Thank you for responding. I have done all that you suggested before I wrote this. See posting dated 5/22/2006 16:33, subject bubbling events. The linkbutton is added to a template column on a DataGrid. I'm not sure however what you mean by setting it's onclick attribute. It's commandname = "view" and the DataGrid onitemcommand = "ViewRecipientSubDetail". I want to branch to the DataGrid's onitemcommand event, which is the event handler. I have determined the row that contains the linkbutton that fired the event. It still isn't firing.
