Expand and collapse in MVC3 Webgird

Can somebody help me in implementing Expand/Collapse functionality?

On clicking the Expand button, I need to get related data for that corresponding record and display it as a child row.

grid.Column(header: "Expand", 
    format: @<text>
        <a href='#' class="expandable-open-button" rel="1" >&gt;</a> 
        <div class="expandable-child-row"></div> 
     </text>)

I am thinking of using jQuery. On click of 'Expand' link can we get the data from the database and set the webgrid html to element.

Using JQuery next to select the "child" element (actually a sibling); and slideToggle to expand the element:

// add the click handler
$(".expandable-open-button").on("click", function(e) {

    // prevent the default action on the link
    e.preventDefault();

    // select the details row and toggle its visibility
    $(this).next(".expandable-child-row").slideToggle();
});

Edit You can pass the item ID by adding it to the markup as a data attribute.

format: (item) => @<text><a data-id='@item.ID'>

Then retrieve it using attr in JQuery:

.on("click", function(e) {

    var id = $(this).attr("data-id");   
    alert(id);
... }
