Question

I have an ASP.NET page with a simple form and a submit button. Upon submission, I am displaying results on an AJAX UpdatePanel, which works just as desired. However, now I would like to use jQuery UI to display these results on a modal window instead, but the problem is that I must call the jQuery code in the OnClientClick event, which occurs just before the postback. I need, of course, to display it after postback, which is when information gets retrieved from the server… How can I accomplish this?

You can use the update panel animation extender

http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/Samples/UpdatePanelAnimation/UpdatePanelAnimation.aspx

<ajaxToolkit:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender ID="ae"
  runat="server" TargetControlID="up">
     <Animations>
        <OnUpdated> **WRITE YOUR JAVASCRIPT HERE** </OnUpdated>
    </Animations>
</ajaxToolkit:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender>
