Not directly, no. Server-side functions live server-side, client-side functions live on the client.

In fact, the only way to get ANY server-side code to run, is to submit the form. ASP.NET unrolls the HTTP headers, unpackages the hidden ViewState variable, re-instantiates objects, and then decides what events to raise based on all of the above.

What you can do is have your JavaScript function set a hidden form variable, then do a form.submit().

Then, in your Page_Load handler on the server, use the Request object to check for the presence and/or value of this variable, and call the appropriate server-side method.

There are several ways to do this

besides "submitting the form".

1) You can use XmlHttp or the built in ClientCallback infrastructure to actually make a GET call to the page and a method call based on parameters on the QueryString, and marshal the results back into the client-side DOM via the ResponseText property.

2) You can use an infrastructure that is specifically designed to do this - such as Anthem.Net, MagicAjax, or Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX (formerly "ATLAS").

Of the 3 mentioned, right now I'd recommand Anthem.Net as it is easy to learn, lightweight, and highly extensible.

in javascript lets say you have a method called "hi" which expects a parameter.

function hi(var someVar)

{

document.write("hi " + someVar);

}

</script>

in .NET on a method you wish to call the javascript method from:

string whatever = "blahblah";

Page.RegisterStartupScript("myScript", "<script language=JavaScript>hi('" + whatever + "');</script>");

I hope that is what you are looking for and hope it helps!
