Wrong background color

[olypost]

I have the following script that is called in a checkbox control in a datagrid (did a attributes.add in the onitemdatabound event to 'assign' it to the checkbox).

Here's the javascript:
function colorRow(e)
{
if (!e) e = window.event;
var srcEl = e.target || e.srcElement;
var curElement = srcEl;
while (curElement && !(curElement.tagName == "TR"))
{  
// Keep going until we reach the parent table row
    curElement = curElement.parentNode;
}
  if (curElement != srcEl)
  {
if (srcEl.checked)
    {   
// Modify your colors here for a selected object
curElement.style.backgroundColor = "#fff8bb";
}
    else   
{
// Modify your colors for a deselected object (read: Normal)
curElement.style.backgroundColor = "#EDF5FF";
    }
      }
      }

Here's part of the itemdatabound:
Dim cb As CheckBox = CType(e.Item.FindControl("tbTimeCheck"), CheckBox)
cb.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:colorRow(event)")


The checkbox works as intended. No problem. However, I have another linkbutton in the datagrid, that when clicked, ALWAYS sets the background color to a dark blue color. This color is what I has mistakenly inserted in the colorRow function at first, before I changed it. There is no reference in my form for this background color, anywhere!!!

Even if I comment out the itemdatabound code, the linkbutton STILL shows this dark blue color!! How could this be? Is it residing in memory or something?? I added new linkbutton to the datagrid and it does the same thing.

I even restored saved files from the day before, and STILL the dark blue color... Has anyone seen this before??

Thanks.

Try removing the "javascript:" from your onclick event - it's just not needed.

That aside, it sounds like a .Net problem (at least I assume you're designing this in .Net)... this being the case, I'd ask in that forum.

Hope this helps,

Hmm - ignore that second suggestion for the moment - I've just re-read your post. Try clearing your browser cache... and if that fails, try a different browser.

Hope this helps,

Yes, using asp.net. Figured it out. For some reason, my itemcommand event stopped firing and it was rendering with my selected item colors (which I never realized I had!). I never saw these colors when the itemcommand worked....

Thanks.
