Refering SPGRIDVIEW.ROWS in Javascript

Question

I am using 'spgridview' in one of my sharepoint applications as follows.

<sharepoint:spgridview id="sample grid" visible="false" runat="server"
                autogeneratecolumns="false" width="100%" allowpaging="true"/>                    
            </sharepoint:spgridview>

I need to use the number of rows in the spgrid in a javascript function.So how can I refer the grid in javascript and how can I get the number of rows in javascript?
