Hi Gary,

Here is one approach to get the dialog box to appear with the information. You can dynamically add an onClick to each checkbox control to call a javascript function that keeps track of the number of checked rows. Then on a button you can use this information to display the amount.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
  return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

//-->
</script>

<script lang="JavaScript">
var total = 0
function countchecked(element){
if (element.checked==true)
	total++
else
	total--
}
</script>

For your button:

<INPUT type="button" value="Button" onclick="alert('There are '+total+' items selected');">

In the Code-behind:

private void DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
	System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox myControl = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox)e.Item.FindControl("MyCheckBox");
	if(myControl!=null)
	{
		myControl.Attributes.Add("onClick","countchecked("+myControl.ClientID+")");
	}
}

>I have a datagrid on a Web form with a checkbox in column 1, allowing users to select multiple records to be deleted. I also have a delete button on the form. When the user clicks that button, I want to display a Javascript confirm dialog box that would say something like "OK to delete the 5 selected records?".
