Hi
I have a web page.
On that page there is a gridview and an edit button which is not inside the grid view.
Edit button is disabled on pageload.
I have enabled the select option of gridview by adding an attribute through javascript.

I want that button 'Edit' to be enabled on click of any row in gridview.

Following is code to enable row select in grid view.

C#

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
          {
              e.Row.Attributes["onclick"] = Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(gvSearchResult, "Select$" + e.Row.RowIndex);
              //e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "fnEnableButton();");
              e.Row.Attributes["style"] = "cursor:pointer";
          }

I also tried writing this code and enabling button in fnEnableButton() function.

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "fnEnableButton();");

But then the row select attribute is not applied.

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick","return fnEnableButton("+e.Row.RowIndex+")");

//In the fnEnableButton function in javascript get object of row and display it in selected mode .

function fnEnableButton(rowNum)
{
var ogv=document.getElementById("gvid");
var rowObj=ogv.rows[rowNum];
//now highlight the row and also enable the button .
}

Note: This code is not tested . Hope this will be helppful.
