looping through gridview using jquery

i am trying to loop through a gridview using jquery, the code i am using is

$('#<%=gridview1.clientid%> tbody tr').not(':first,:last')
  .each(function(){
    gridrows ++;
  });

i would like to eliminate the first and 开发者_如何学Golast rows which are obviously the header and footer , i tried this code but seems that it is not working, it is returning the count of gridview rows. any ideas.

Two possible things to consider:

(1) Try to avoid mixing your server code in your jquery. Just use the gridview's ID property $('#myGridView') instead of getting it through the brackets. (Maybe you weren't trying to do that, though.)

(2) Have a read of Rick Strahl's post on this topic. http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/822827.aspx

I believe you'll find it covers the problem you're encountering now.

If you're using <tbody>, why not use <thead>for header and <tfoot> for footer?

<table>
  <thead><tr>..</tr></thead>
  <tbody><tr>..</tr></tbody>
  <tfoot><tr>..</tr></tfoot>
</table>

?

Then you can lose the .not() part. Also, are you sure that that ASP.net code returns existing id? :)
