JQuery API has many CSS related functions, which can be used to create many UI effects in the modern web applications. The most common of those methods are addClass, removeClass and toggleClass, which add, remove or toggle CSS classes to any matched element. In this Tutorial, I will show you how you can create a simple mouseover hover effect on ASP.NET GridView Rows using JQuery CSS related methods.
To get things started, create an ASP.NET website and add a GridView control to the page from the Data Category in Toolbox. The following code shows the GridView control I am using for the demonstration of this tutorial. Please set the appropriate properties as shown in the code snippet below.<form id="form1" runat="server"> <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" BackColor="White" Font-Size="10" Font-Names="Verdana" BorderColor="#000000" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" Width="400px" CellSpacing="0" GridLines="Horizontal"> </asp:GridView> </form> Next I am binding the GridView with a DataTable object that I created in the Page Load event in the code behind file. To keep things simple I am not connecting any database as it is not the purpose of this tutorial. I created a DataTable object with three columns and filled it with some rows using for loop. The complete code of the Page Load event is shown below:protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataTable table = new DataTable(); table.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int)); table.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string)); table.Columns.Add("Salary", typeof(decimal)); for (int i = 1; i < 8; i++) { DataRow row = table.NewRow(); row["ID"] = i; row["Name"] = "Name " + i; row["Salary"] = 10000 * i; table.Rows.Add(row); } GridView1.DataSource = table; GridView1.DataBind(); if (GridView1.Rows.Count > 0) { GridView1.UseAccessibleHeader = true; GridView1.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader; } }By default, The GridView control doesn’t render the <th> tags for the header row which can be an issue for sites where standard compliance and accessibility are important. When we set the property UseAccessibleHeader = true, it replaces the <td> elements of the header row with the correct <th> element. The HeaderRow.TableSection property of GridView control generates <thead> and <tbody> tags to make generated code more accessible. Build and run your project, and you will see the following output.
