Hi,
I want to call a back-end function from javascript, using a full postback. To do this, i've created a hidden <asp:linkbutton>, with in the back-end a 'handles buttonid.click'.
Next, in my javascript, i call __doPostBack('buttonid', '') (of course with the real id, using button.clientid, no problem there). Yes, i call this after the button has loaded, no problem in html order.
Doing this gives me an error (sorry for the length of it):

I'm using the standard DNN 5.0 minimalextropy skin. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I realise i could be using ajax instead of a full postback too, but in this case, i want the postback (a bunch of elements will be refreshed too, and it's my choice to have this as postback..)
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
