I have a datagrid with a checkbox in the first column and two columns following containing text. When the checkbox is checked, I need to have the font color changed. I can get this to work fine using oncheckedchange d and turning on the autopostback, my question is can I do this in javascript so I don't have to use the autopostback. I played around with passing the checkbox control (eg. oncheckedchange d(this) ), but cannot figure out how to determine the row I'm at in the datagrid once I'm in the javascript method. Any help?
