In the client side, you may need to retrieve a reference to an HTML element on the page. Most Ultimate UI for ASP.NET controls expose client-side events which pass in a reference to the HTML element that fired the event; however, what if you needed a reference to another HTML element on the page?
Using ASP.NET AJAX’s built-in $find shortcut method, you can easily retrieve a reference to any client-side object by passing the object’s ID to the method as a parameter. Once the component is found, you can interact with it as you would a normal client-side object.
Assumptions for the following code example:
You have already created a new ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Site.
You have an instance of the ASP.NET AJAX ScriptManager on the WebForm.
You have enabled Infragistics Application Styling for the application and you are using the Default Style. For more information, see Enabling Application Styling Using the web.config File.
You have instances of WebSplitter™ controls on the form.
The following code will retrieve a reference to the WebSplitter control whose ID is WebSplitter1.
In JavaScript:
var splitter = $find("WebSplitter1"); if(splitter != null) ...
