OnItemCreated

[Jim Heavey]

I have a DataList and I want to add some Javascript to a button in the Datalist. I am guessing that I will use the "OnItemCreated" event to find my control and then load the java script to the button.

The problem is that I can not find the control when I search for it in the event. I am guessing that internally it is assigning a unique ID to each of the buttons that the Datalist is creating and this is why I can not find the control with a "FindControl" method.

So how do I find the control? Here is the code I created...

if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item | e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
Control ctrl = e.Item.FindControl("cmdPPIPEditDelete");
if (ctrl != null)
{
((Button)ctrl).Attributes["onclick"] = "return RecordDeleteConfirmation();";
}
}
