If are clicking imagebutton why you need linkbutton. May be its you requirement you can use the commandargument property to save the value while bounding  and use it on image click.

Hope it helps....

Hi,

You can use GetElementsByTagName of javascript DOM method to get the controls from tag name, here input is the tag name so it goes like following

<script>
function GetChecked()
{
  var container =  document.getElementById('<% rptCat.ClientID %>');
  var totalInputs = container.getElementsByTagName('input');
  for(var i = 0;i< totalInputs.Length;i++)
  {
  if(totalInputs[i].type.toLowerCase()=='checkbox' && totalInputs[i].checked)
  {
    id += totalInputs[i].id;
  }   
  }
}
</script>

this way you can get them

ok,, you can use CommandArgument property both linkbutton and imagebutton have this property which will remain during postback

Implement the ItemCommand EVent 
<asp:LinkButton ID="linkButton1" CommandName="select" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' />
protected void DataList1_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
  {
    if (e.CommandName == "select")
    {
      LinkButton l = new LinkButton();
      l= (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("linkButton1");
      Response.Write(l.Text);
  
    }
  }
