Question

I have a control on my page with the syntax of:

 <iwc:ImgButton runat="server" ID="saveForm" ImageUrl="~/images/save.png" OnClientClick="saveFormData(); return false;" Text="Save Form" />

which contains some script to fire. I was was going to have a timer with a confirm box which would remind the person to save. “It has been X minutes. Would you like to save?”

When they say ok, It fires off this command:

 $("#saveForm").click();

but it doesn’t seem to fire off the click Function. Why not?

Answer 1

the ID is that on the server, and isnt nessicarily the answer on the clientside. To fix it, the jquery command should be:

 $("#<%= saveForm.ClientID %>").click();

That would resolve it. Confirmed.
