I have an editable grid with two labels and a checkbox (not the standard delete checkbox since delete is not allowed). The labes are bound to columns in the database the checkbox is not. How can I determine the value of the labels associated with the checkbox (same row) when it is clicked?
I am coding in ASP and javascript.

It is not possible to determine the values of the labels since they are just plain text shown on the page and they are not being submitted via form. When I need to submit or determine the values of the labels then I usually add Hidden fields with the same values as the labels (bind them to the same db columns as labels).

Peterr:
Thanks for the quick reply. I apologize for what must seem like a simple question to you but I am just learning this system and to some extent the client-side programming.
I did not explain my problem clearly. What I am trying to do is very similar to the delete function supported by the editable grid. I want to display some columns of information (could be text boxes - does not have to be labels) in each row along with a check box. When the check box is clicked I want to then change a value in the DB that is associated with that information. A simple example would be to display a person's name and a check box for availability. Depending on the checkbox state a corresponding row in the DB would be updated. For reasons to complex to explain here, I cannot use T/F, or Y/N for the DB item - otherwise this would be very simple. If there is a way to use a hidden control on each row that could be updated when the checkbox in that row is clicked I would love to know how to do it. I have literally spent hours on this and cannot seem to determine anything about what happened except that a checkbox somewhere in the grid was checked.
I was hoping there was some way to understand in JS which row in the grid included the checkbox that was just clicked and that I could then "read" the other controls in that row. It seems that the delete function in the grid must operate in that fashion.
Thanks . . . tom
