Reference Datalist Selected Value using JavaScript, Java (no postback)

[McInerny]

Quick question, I hope.

I am trying to reference the Selected Value of a DataList from JavaScript. I have tried loads of different ways, I just can't get it.

The Datalist is in a page which has a master page, the code is below.

Can someone give me the code, if possible to retrieve the Selected Value.

Thanks

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" RepeatColumns="7" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" ShowFooter="False" ShowHeader="False" CssClass="DatalistLinkButton" DataKeyField="STID" >
<ItemTemplate>

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CommandName="Select"
CommandArgument='<%# Eval("STID") %>' CssClass="DatalistLinkButton"
Text='<%# Eval("STName") %>' />

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</asp:Content>

If I knew how to read Javascript I would help.... are you trying to retrieve the value using Java? or Javascript? If the latter only, you've chosen the wrong forum.. if the former maybe someone can merge the two technologies together to help you.
