How to set datasource of a datalist in javascript

Question

Hi guys, I have a datalist. I have datatable in javascript. I want to set datatable as datasource to datalist in javascript.

Is it possible? Can anybody help?

No, this is not possible. You have to bind your list to a data source using the DataSourceId in the markup or by setting the DataSource attribute in the code behind file. (There might be other solutions, but they are all server side.)

You might be able to solve your problem using the data grid from YUI. This is a JavaScript framework, so it's quite different from ASP.NET.
