Nested repeaters - How to access item on 3rd level without runat server tag?

Question

Hi i have a 3 tiered nested repeater and i need to access the values in the repeater condRptr below on postback, i tried everything but dont seem to be able to get anywhere. I had the table originally within the repeater with runat server in the header template but this threw an error.

Anyone got any ideas??

<asp:Repeater ID="deptRepeater" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="bindDepts">
                <HeaderTemplate>

                </HeaderTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                <div id="itemContainer">
                    <h3 class="fdAccordionHeader"><%# Eval("desc") %><span class="fdAccordionHeaderIcon"></span></h3><asp:HiddenField ID="deptid" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("dept_id") %>' />
                        <div class="fdAccordionContent" style="display:none">
                            <asp:Repeater ID="prodRepeater" runat="server" OnItemCommand="itemToCart">
                                <HeaderTemplate>
                                </HeaderTemplate>
                                <ItemTemplate>
                                    <div>

Answer 1

Ok so as no-one had any ideas ;) i eventually figured out a nifty work around for this, because i couldn't have the runat server in the header template, i basically put it in the element like so

<tr ID="dataRow" runat="server"> rest of data </tr>

Then in the C# code on the server side i was able to use the RepeatEreventArgs and cast the as a HtmlTableRow so that i could iterate through the data - simples :)
