Yes , First find the control bby control id like :

var obj=document.getElementById('Controlid').vlaue;

You can use document.getElementById(fieldID).

Errors are like Mini Skirts, shorter they get, more revealing they become.

but how can i predict the control id as ASP elements don't have a predetermined id? (i can't use the 'ID' attribute as opposed to the HTML id attribute)

thanks but please see my reply to Parwej above.. j

sorry if i'm missing something or wasn't clear enough : I need the id for an ASP control that within a GridView (as mentioned - nested within asp:TemplateField) so for example if my code is: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtName">> after rendering the TextBox id will be something like: "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_gridView_ctl12_txtName" thanks
