Question

I have this layout:

<div runat="server" OnClick="ChangeText()" id="button">Ok</div>
<asp:UpdatePanel id="updater" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <div id="text">Hello</div>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

I would like to have it so that when the button is clicked, the function ChangeText() gets called on the server – that function then updates the label in the UpdatePanel like so…

public void ChangeText() {
    text.InnerText = "Goodbye";
}

How do I wire up the button so that it triggers the update for the updater?

If I understand your question correctly, add this below your node (inside the node).

   <Triggers>
      <asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="button" />
   </Triggers>
