title: ASP.NET/DataList: Client-side postback by clicking list elements
body: <p>I have a DataList control that displays a set of elements. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can add some client-side functionality for submitting/doing a postback when the user clicks an element in the list (e.g. anywhere in the  that is the root of the list element. I've seen some examples by adding a hidden LinkButton and wiring it up - but I haven't got it to work properly.</p>
  
  <p>cheers,</p>

  <p>Thanks for the help - I went for the jQuery method. Do you know if I can invoke a hidden asp:LinkButton from the lambda function (for the selected item) so that a post back takes place?</p>
  
  <p><strike>There was a small typo in your code example (in case anyone else reads this thread):
   I had to add a # to the jQuery selector; '<strong>#</strong>&lt;%= DataList1.ClientID %> td'</strike></p>
