Will calling .click() fire an updatepanel Trigger?

This might seem a bit silly but...

Basically, I have a javascript function which calls the .click() method of a button, this button resides outside of any UpdatePanels

This button is also set as a trigger for one of my UpdatePanel controls.

My problem is, the button click runs fine, the server side click event fires ok and rebinds some data for a GridView which is inside the UpdatePanel, but the UpdatePanel does not update its contents.

Do you have to physically click the button with your mouse to cause the Trigger? Or should the programmatic javascript call to click() work?

No will not cause it trigger, you need a postback for that, not a javascript call


You cantrigger an UpdatePanel refresh from the client side, using __doPostBack().

Hi

The programmatic javascript call to click() should work, you must do something wrong.

Look this sample:

WMP-Like Search Function

Hey all,

Basically, I want to create a search function like WMP has; i.e. a search function of which the results are updated every time the user enters a new character in the searchbox.

How should I go about this? I've got it like this now:

I've got an UpdatePanel that contains a DataGrid, set up to do the query to my database. I added an update trigger for the TextChanged event of my asp:TextBox.
This works, but the results are updated only when I hit enter/return in the textbox. Is there a way to make the UpdatePanel update when a key is pressed in my TextBox?

Maybe I have to handle this client side, like handling an added onkeypress event.. But then I still don't know exactly how to call this UpdatePanel.Update(); method.
Or does another/better way to implement such a search function exist?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jorn

Did you ever get this figured out as I would like to know too...
