How to call button click event from div onclick event?

[saadkhan]

i want to a buttin click event when a <div> is clicked. That is when div tag`s onclick event fires, it directs to button click event.....

<div id="Div" onclick="?????? ??">
HEADER
</div>



whereas my button`s click event is:
protected void myButton_Click( object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

1- this doesn't look like it uses ASP (file extension .asp). Is this asp.net (.aspx)? Let me know, and I will get this post in the right forum.

2- The name doesn't have to match, just set the div's onclick attribute (possibly called something else, like "leftmousebutto nup") to myButton_Click.

Let me know if this helps.

Not going to work. That is a server method that he's posted, not a client one. If you do that, it will be looking for some JavaScript function called myButton_Click.

Sadly, I don't have your answer. One option may be to set a hidden value and trigger a postback by submitting the form through javascript, and in the page_load testing for that value. if it is there, call your button's method.

I guess that makes sense, but then how does one fire a server-side event from onclick in the first place?
