Passing values from client 2 server

[Yama]

Hi,

Simple question:

Is there a way to a value from client-side to server-side upon a click?

function _getReport(ReportName) { alert(ReportName); }

<asp:datalist id="dlReports" runat="server">
<itemtemplate>
<img height="7" src="../ReportsImages/navlink.gif" width="5">
<a class="Normal" id="<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Description") %>"
href="ReportMainPage.aspx" onclick="return _getReport('<%#
EncryptString(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem," Description"))%>');">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Description") %></a>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:datalist>

What I would like to accomplish is to pass the report name to server-side
from client-side upon clicking on a link above.

Something like, create a hyperlink column in a DataSet and capture the value
sent when the person clicks? There are a variety of other controls,
LinkButton, et al, you can use, as well. Repeater is often better, as you
have more flexibility, but it really depends on what you need.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your reponse. I would like, once the list is generated, to
capture the (<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Description") %>)
report name every time the user clicks on a link.

How can I do that using LinkButton?
