Hi,
Repeaters do render but what you have specified them to. Pij t is to
generate the script to access the controls on repeaterItem, at least
generate an js array which contains the ClientIDs of the controls in the
repeater
It can be done for example iterating Repeater's Items collection, calling
FindControl against every RepeaterItem to get reference to the control on
the item. Then you can access ClientID of these controls
I have availbale a sample which deals with gridView but idea is 100% same.
item type is just RepeaterItem and you iterate Repeater's Items collection
protected void GridView1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
StringBuilder sbScript = new StringBuilder();
//I'm doing this in PreRender because RowDataBound happens only
when databinding occurs - not necessarily on every request
//and RowCreated is too early to get the correct client-side ID
foreach(GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{
CheckBox CheckBox1 = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("CheckBox1");
sbScript.Append("'");
sbScript.Append(CheckBox1.ClientID);
sbScript.Append("'");
if(row.RowIndex != (GridView1.Rows.Count - 1))
sbScript.Append(",");
}
//Register the array
Page.ClientScript.RegisterArrayDeclaration("checkB oxes",
sbScript.ToString());
}.
Previous examplöe creates a javascript array named checkBoxes cointaining
reference of CheckBoxes with CheckBox1 on every GridViewRow. You can then
use these array at client to reference the checkboxes there.

Yesterday, I posted a question dealing with an issue of trying to
reference (from javascript on the client side) an item within a
Repeater. My code was hard-coded to use the actual ClientId, but
someone admonished me, stating that I shouldn't do that because the id
could change. However, since I'm trying to reference a control on a
Repeater line, I'm wondering how else to do that. Repeaters aren't
rendered in html are they? What method do other .Net developers use
to reference a control on a RepeaterItem when doing it from javascript?
