I know how to trigger a button click via jquery. :

$('#hiddenSendButton').trigger('click');

What I was trying to do is have this trigger a click event in the codebehind.

<input id="hiddenSendButton" class="hiddenSendButton" type="hidden" runat="server" onclick="btnSend_Click" />

I don’t think that I am doing this correctly, I am guessing that I need to use an asp.net button control in order to tie it to the codebehind, or something of that nature.

Here is my codebehind. :

Protected Sub btnSend_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

I tried added in a handles clause but due to it being an input button it didn’t have that.

Any ideas? I am sure it is simple I just can’t seem to find anything on this through my searching.

One of the things that I was thinking was using an asp.net button but how do I make that hidden but still visible on the clientside.

    Yes you will need to use an asp.net button control to tie it to the click event in the code-behind. 

    <asp:button runat="server" id="btnSend" class="hiddenSendButton" onclick="btnSend_Click" />

    Also, in your example you have it as a hidden field, not a hidden button. These are two very different things. Hidden fields don’t have the ability to be “clicked”.
