You can access the grid view's text boxes from javascript by using the controls client id. it will generally be in the patter gridid$controlid$slno. You can get this by viewing the client HTML source on the browser.

I don't have access to VS 2005 or greater at work so here is a sample with VS 2003/ASP.NET 1.x - For this datagrid

		<asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 208px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 160px"
			runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
			<Columns>
				<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="sd" FooterText="as">
					<ItemTemplate>
						<asp:TextBox ID="abc" Runat="server" Text="asd"></asp:TextBox>
					</ItemTemplate>
				</asp:TemplateColumn>
			</Columns>
		</asp:DataGrid>

and this code

		DataTable asd = new DataTable("asd");
		asd.Columns.Add("asd");
		DataRow dr = asd.NewRow();
		DataRow dr1 = asd.NewRow();
		dr\[0\]=asd;
		dr1\[0\]=asd;
		asd.Rows.Add(dr);
		asd.Rows.Add(dr1);
		DataGrid1.DataSource= asd;
		DataGrid1.DataBind();

the client ids for the 2 text boxes generated would be DataGrid1__ctl2_abc and DataGrid1__ctl3_abc You can use this id in the getElementById method in javascript to access the data. NOTE - Client id generated in higher version of ASP.NET will be similar but not exactly the same.
