title: Problems simulating click of ASP.NET button
body: <p>I have some code like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:Button ID="cancelDummyButt" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" 
      Text="cancel" onclick="cancelDummyButt_Click" Enabled="True" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(Javascript:)</p>
  
  <pre><code>buttid = '&lt;%=cancelDummyButt.ClientID.ToString%&gt;';
  eltoclick = document.getElementById(buttid);
  eltoclick.click();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The server-side code is not called.  What is wrong?  It goes OK until the "click". What is the best way to debug?</p>
