title: disable/enable buttons
body: <p>I'm working in ASP .Net. I need to be able to click a button, disable it, have the code behind kick in and execute some functions and once they are done, enable the button again. There is no postback taking place per say in this project as we are using an UpdatePanel. About as far as I've been able to get successfully is using this syntax to disable it on the code behind Page_Load function: </p>
  
  <pre><code>btnConnect.Attributes.Add("onClick", "document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';this.disabled = true;" + ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(btnConnect, string.Empty) + ";");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This disables the button and allows the code behind to execute. I just can't figure out how to re-enable the button once the functions that run in the code behind are done. Is there a way to capture when the code behind is done?</p>
