Please Help
Use OnClientClick
to have your ASP.NET button run a JavaScript method before calling its server-side method. OnClick
specifies the server side method to run.
<asp:Button ID="btnFromCalOpen" runat="server"
Text=" > " CssClass = "SElementHide"
OnClientClick="ShowCal()" />
use OnClientClick
. onclick
is for a server side handler.
also you need to check elem.style.visibility
.
also you're creating elem
in your js function and then trying to access elema
.
Have you tried the OnClientClick
property?

Also, this does not look correct:
if (elem.visibility = "hidden")
Should be closer to:
if (elem.style.visibility == "hidden")
Are you also looking for the button to prevent post back? Then, return false in your ShowCal javascript function.
