Thanks.

Surely it is possible but my advice u to use a link button set
style="display:none" and use javascript (click method) to raise click
event....

try document.forms[0].submit();

It would have been nice if they had named it "Page.submit"

Well, it's not quite that simple. You use this method to get a block of javascript
and then you have to attach it somewhere in the rendered HTML (typically
in some client side javascript event). Once the client side event fires,
then it will execute this javascript which triggers the postback.

Microsoft .NET Framework works at server side.
Javascript works on client side.

You should use javascript to submit form. For instance,
<a id="s">a</a>

at javascript code,

s.click()

I love the way .net has made things so easy

Its complicated. I consider using another approach if possible.
Good luck.
