Force PostBack

[imisidro]

The syntax for this is likely very simple, but I can't find it doing a search of prior postings.<BR><BR>I need to do initiate a postback based on an if/then process. What syntax do I use to force the page to postback?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Tom TI don't understand the question. If you are processing an if then process then you must already be server-side, thus how could you postback? Are you trying to do this with javascript or something?? If you are using javascript you could probably just submit the server side form.I have a server-based timer object in the Global.asax file that is initialized with the application_start sub. The timer_elapsed event fires on the server side every so often and fetches some data for me and stores it in an application variable.<BR><BR>I want the client to check this variable every so often to see if it has changed from its prior value. If so, I want to update a textbox on the client.<BR><BR>You're right, I could use a java script (setTimeOut, etc..), to post the page, and check the application variable value on the page_load event. I was trying to figure out a cleaner way to do it than a full post.<BR><BR>With a javascript, I could check the value of the application variable, but I'm unclear on how I would get it from java back into the asp textbox.<BR><BR>Thanks for the response,<BR><BR>Tom T
