Does Microsoft provide a way to call an async postback without being tied to a control.  I have an onclick event that is tied to a div.  I want to be able to click on that div and the form details post back.

I really need help on this as I am beginning to pull my hair out!

I have got a hack work around, but if anyone know of a method to do what I am trying to do, please let me know.

This is a good way to programmatically refresh UpdatePanels from the client side: http://encosia.com/index.php/2007/07/13/easily-refresh-an-updatepanel-using-javascript/ 

Thank you sir!  This was the answer I was looking for.
