I am writing this for one row

<td><a style="color:Navy;" target="_blank" href="somepath/abc.doc" onclick="document.getElementById('MainContent_SiteNewCon_dummyBtn').click();" name="1,16" title="rupesh tesr">test</a></td>

i want to use thses name="1, 16" to my button click event so that i can save them to db.

BTw: u dont need the html text writer, add your link to the e.Item.controls.Add(link) and it will render — JohnnBlade

Yes you can using jQuery. For example,

   $("MyLink").click=(function(){
        alert( $("MyLink").attr("title"));//For getting title value.
    });

Add id="MyLink" to your link

<a style="color:Navy;" target="_blank" href="SlideImages/abc.doc" onclick="getAttr(this)"  name="1,16" title="rupesh tesr" id="MyLink">rupesh test</a>

Ashwin Singh Over a year ago

You can use jQuery to assign handlers lik $("#MyLink).onclick=getAttr(e.target);

Try this

string attr = link.Attributes["onlick"];

string name= link.Attributes["name"];

if you want to access the link in code behind you would have to add runat="server"

and add the Command event with CommandName and CommandArguments

and why not use a LinkButton its better the just a HyperLink
