Server side Event handler for DIV click?

Is it possible with ASP.NET C# to establish a click event on a DIV element so that when the user clicks on the DIV it can postback to the server and initate a click event for that DIV element? I am currently wrapping my content with a <A runat=server> to achieve the onserverclick effetc.

In fact if i wanted to create a server side event hanler for dynamic content, how would one go about establishing this. I can see .NET makes heavy use of __doPostBack on the client side but i just dont see how it can initate an event handler on the server side.

Hi quantass0,

You can handle the click event on a DIV as the code following (div1 is the id of the DIV element)

public

partialclass_Default : System.Web.UI.Page,IPostBackEventHandler

{

protectedvoid Page_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)

{

div1.Attributes[

"onclick"] = ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(this,"ClickDiv");

}

protectedvoid Div1_Click()

{

// Do something

}

#region

IPostBackEventHandler Memberspublicvoid RaisePostBackEvent(string eventArgument)

{

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(eventArgument))

{

if (eventArgument =="ClickDiv")

{

Div1_Click();

}

}

}

#endregion

}

Hope this helps

Excellent info. Thank you!
