Hi Everyone,

I have a small question which should be very easy for the jquery experts out there. I am trying to follow http://aspdotnetcodebook.blogspot.com/2010/01/page-languagec-autoeventwireuptrue.html to be able to perform an action on gridview row double click. I can redirect to another page fine (as shown in the example) but I cannot cause the $(this).find("a").click(); to fire. Below is my GridView markup.

<asp:GridView ID="gvCustomers" runat="server" DataSourceID="odsCustomers" CssClass="datagrid"
        GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="Customer_ID" PageSize="3"
        AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" OnRowCommand="gvCustomers_RowCommand"
        OnRowDataBound="gvCustomers_RowDataBound">
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Customer_ID" HeaderText="ID" ReadOnly="true" Visible="false" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Customer_FirstName" HeaderText="First Name" ReadOnly="true" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Customer_LastName" HeaderText="Last Name" ReadOnly="true" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Customer_Email" HeaderText="Email" ReadOnly="true" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Customer_Mobile" HeaderText="Mobile" ReadOnly="true" />
            <asp:TemplateField>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkButton" runat="server" CommandName="showVehicles" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("Customer_ID") %>'
                        ></asp:LinkButton>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>
        <EmptyDataTemplate>
            Sorry No Record Found.
        </EmptyDataTemplate>
    </asp:GridView>

I just cant make it work as the author has suggested: /* or you could have a hidden LinkButton in the row (Text="" or not set) that you could trigger. Make sure you set the CommandName="Something" and CommandArgument="RecordId" */

on the OnCommand of linkButton, I have my server side method which I would like to fire. Any ideas will be most apprecited.

Thanks, Ali
