While it got me going in the right direction, I had no luck with
document.FindElementbyId("bt_submit").click(); But for those of you who
may be interested in the outcome of this thread, a variation of the
recommendation is what works:
This is the hyperlink that, when clicked, executes the client-side
JavaScript function:
<a id="HyperLink1" href="javascript
:TestPostBackFromJavaScript()" >Test Save
From JavaScript</a>
Here is the JavaScript Function
function TestPostBackFromJavaScript() {
document.all("btnSaveChanges").click();
}
That JavaScript function effectively "clicks" the following ASP.NET button:
<asp:Button id="btnSaveChanges" EnableViewState="true"
CommandName="SaveChanges" Visible="true" Width="115" runat="server"
Text="Save Changes"></asp:Button>
Thanks to Lau Lei Cheong for pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you very much.
I'll give it a whirl.

news:u7***************@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... Use the statement:
document.FindElementbyId("bt_submit").click();
where bt_Submit is a button with "runat=server" & " id='bt_submit'
"properties set.
I've already suggested that in my last post.
You'll have to follow this kind of approach as there's no easier method
to pass value to server-side using form-submittion(get/post)

news:eg**************@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl ¤¤¼¶¼g... How do I do the following part of what you recommend - do you have
specific JavaScript Syntax?
<<...and finally call a server-side button to post the data to server...>
Does anyone have an easier way to accomplish what I'm after?
Thanks for your input so far - GH.
