Question

I am new to Jquery and trying to start learning the new tool. What I want to do is call a JQuery message box from my gridViews Row Command function after the processing is done so I can notify the user the process has been complete. I was trying to use this website as a referance
http://stuntsnippets.com/jquery-message-box/

But not sure how to call the function from the serverside. I have tried ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript
Thank you,

Place this inside your script tags…

$(document).ready(function () {
    //Determining if there is  a message to be shown if the message is not equal to empty string then the messagebox should appear.
    if(message != '') {
        message_box.show_message('Equipment Request:', message);
    }              
});

//JQuery to set up the messagebox.
var message_box = function () {
    var button = '<input type="button" onclick="message_box.close_message();" value="Ok" />';
    return {
        show_message: function (title, body) {
            if (jQuery('#message_box').html() === null) {
                var message = '<div id="message_box"><h1>' + title + '</h1>' + body + '<br/>' + button + '</div>';
                jQuery(document.body).append(message);
                jQuery(document.body).append('<div id="darkbg"></div>');
                jQuery('#darkbg').show();
                jQuery('#darkbg').css('height', jQuery('html, body').height());

                jQuery('#message_box').css('top', jQuery('html, body').scrollTop() + 150);
                jQuery('#message_box').show('slow');
            } else {
                var message = '<h1>' + title + '</h1>' + body + '<br/>' + button;
                jQuery('#darkbg').show();
                jQuery('#darkbg').css('height', jQuery('html, body').height());

                jQuery('#message_box').css('top', jQuery('html, body').scrollTop() + 150);
                jQuery('#message_box').show('slow');
                jQuery('#message_box').html(message);
            }
        },
        close_message: function () {
            jQuery('#message_box').hide('fast');
            jQuery('#darkbg').hide();
        }
    }
} ();

this goes in the CSS:

#darkbg {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: #000;

    opacity: .5;
    filter: alpha(opacity=50);
    -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";
}
#message_box {
    width: 300px;
    height: 150px;
    background: #fff;

    border: 4px solid #f0f0f0;
    border-radius: 10px;
    -moz-border-radius: 10px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 10px;

    position: absolute;
    top: 100px;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -150px;

    text-align: center;
    z-index: 1000;
    display: none;
}
#message_box input[type=button] {
    float:left;
    margin-left: 145px;
}

In the if not is postback of the page you are using the message box on put this line of code:

ltlMessage.Text = "<script type=""text/javascript"">var message = """"; </script>"

Then in you row command under the function in which you would like to show the message box place this code.

ltlMessage.Text = "<script type=""text/javascript"">var message = ""Email has been sent.""; </script>"

I have modifed my post to include the working example. Hope this helps someone else out. One thing I forgot to note is on the page in which you would like the message box you will need a literal control to save off the message in my case it is called ltlmessage.
