Hi friends,
I have gridview with following columns

1. SrNo(Label)<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
5. Delete(HyperLink)

When user clicks on the Delete, I want to the get the value of the label SrNo.

I tried following

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#btnDelete').live('click',function(){
        var value = $(this).siblings('#lblSrNo').text(); 
        alert(value) ;
    });
});

But above code does not wokrs.

Can anyone tell where I'm going worng??

Thanks in advance

You don't need to use sibling if you already have the id value. Your selector will be just $("#lblSrNo"). You messed up all together.

If you rightclick your site and select "view source" you will probably see that your labels id is not "lblSrNo". asp.net generates id's based on where in the control hierarchy they are. So you will have to either make sure asp.net tells your javascript the correct id, or use another jquery selector.
My suggestion is to add a css-class to all your lbl's and use classname instead of id:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#btnDelete').live('click',function(){
        var value = $(this).siblings('.YourClassName').text();
        alert(value) ;
    });
});

Solution 3

Try below code

JavaScript

$(this).closest('tr').find('td #lblSrNo').html();

Your code work fine.
But as per Solution 2, i need to use input tag to find the control

$(this).closest('td').find('input').val(1);
