# GetRowByKey

Use the GetRowByKey method to get the client-side row index for the specified server-side row index. Learn its syntax and parameters in documentation.

## Content

Gets the client-side row index for the specified server-side row index.

## Syntax

[JavaScript]

```javascript
var ret = FpSpread1.GetRowByKey(FPKey);
```

## Parameters

***FPKey***
Integer, index of the server-side row key (Spread control's row index)

## Return Type

Integer, index of the client-side row

## Remarks

This method returns the index of the row based on the Spread key. The key is based on the entire row count (0 to rowcount -1). There may be multiple pages or tables and each page might have a subset of the total row count. This method gives you the row number based on the unique Spread key.

## Example

This is a sample that contains the method. On the client side, the script that contains the method would look like this:

```javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
   function getHValue() {
       var ss = document.getElementById("FpSpread1");
       var totalRow = ss.GetRowByKey(0);
   }
</script>
```
