Re: Update page from client JaveScript

You want to refresh the entire HTML?  Can't  you just update the data in the
HTML with the results of the Aynch call (using the DOM) or use an Update
Panel to update most of the page (though this is heavier than the first
option but a lot less work).  Are you using ASP.NET AJAX?

Thanks,

Subject: [DOTNET-WEB] Update page from client JaveScript

Hi,

Asynchronous callbacks are great for responsiveness. But sometimes in such
a callback I find that the entire Page has to be refreshed, just like in a
normal postback.

Normally I would use Response.Redirect() or Server.Transfer() but both are
not allowed in an asynchronous callback...

So I'm stuck with updating the Page from client JavaScript, but the only
way I know how to do this (window.location.reload) results in a dialog box
"Are you sure you want..." and the Page does not really update.

Is there another way to issue a normal postback of a Page in client
JavaScript?

Thanks for your time and help.
