Question

I wanted to know if you can call server side method using JavaScript or jQuery whilst doing a postback?

I have created a anchor button and want it to work same way as a linkbutton i.e. do postback and call a event. So i thought it could be possible of using JavaScript?

How would i do this? I have done alot of searches on net but could not find anything..

<a href="javascript:void(0);" id="SOMEID" onclick="DOPOSTBACK CALL SERVER SIDE METHOD();"></a>;

Have you tried searching for ajax?

http://api.jquery.com/category/ajax/

There’s lots of tutorials online. If you’re using dot net then there’s also a JQuery plugin called dot net ajax which I find really useful. However ajax is a huge topic and your question is really broad so it’s hard to be more specific!
