RE: innertext, javascript, datagrid, database update

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello Lyners,

In this very simple demo, I copy the value and am still able to retrieve it
upon postback: http://www.societopia.net/samples/datagrid_2.aspx

Maybe there is a step in your code that is resetting this value.

BTW, did you find out why the image title was not working when you moved the
mouse over the copy image in the last example (in a previous thread on this
issue)?
