Hello Friends,
I want to display panel on click of grid edit button, how can i bind this event to edit link.

I tried following, but it did not worked

In rowdatabound event, I tried to bind javascript function popUp

Private Sub gvJobs_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvJobs.RowDataBound
        If IsDBNull(e.Row.DataItem) Then
            Return
        End If
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            Dim lnkEdit As New HtmlAnchor
            Dim gvRow As GridViewRow
            gvRow = e.Row
            lnkEdit = gvRow.FindControl("lnkEdit")
            lnkEdit.Attributes("onclick") = "popUp()"
        End If
        
    End Sub

I wrote javascript function popUp

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function popUp() {
            $('#divEdit').sidetoggle(fast);
        }
    </script>

May i know where I'm going wrong, or is there any other way to carry out this task. I'm using master pages.

Thanks in advance
