I would like to use some JavaScript in 'Edit in DataSheet' mode to check a value and prompt a user to enter some text.

Is this possible?

I'm sorry but you can't. The DataSheet mode uses a "SEALED" ActiveX Control. You have no control over the markup of this control(use IE Dev Toolbar and check it out) in order to control client side behaviour.

Hi There. To meet the needs of your requirement, I suggest using some sort of a Databound AJAX or ASP.NET Control. Obviously you need to bind the control to your Sharepoint list using .Net or the Sharepoint Client OM. – Fox Jul 29 '11 at 7:40
