Hello,

document.getElementById('btnHidden').click();

the above javascript code doesn't work in firefox though it works fine in IE.

Is there any workaround to make it work in firefox browser.

Thanks in advance

Raise server event from the client with javascript

The way I have always accomplished this....

Put a hidden button on the form:

    <asp:Button ID="btnHidden" runat="server" style="display:none;" />

And the server-side code you want to execute goes in the code-behind for this button:

    Protected Sub btnHidden_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnHidden.Click
        'Code goes here
    End Sub

Now, you can programmatically invoke the click of this button with javascript, which will fire the code-behind:

    document.getElementById('btnHidden').click();

Hope this helps! Don't forget to mark the most helpful post(s) as Answer for the sake of future readers.
