var div = document.getElementById(obj1);
div.style.display = 'inline';
}

Solution 1

How do you know for sure you want it shown on postback ? Does the div get set to the valye you want, even if it's not shown ? What if you set it based on a property that returns inline on postback, and none on first render ?

Solution 2

I just wanted to implement "Advanced Search panel"
When <a onclick="show('Div')>Show Panel</a> clicked, a panel with all advanced filters will be shown, including Search and Hide buttons. It also has a Results dropdown which is populated on Search click, so I don't want to hide the panel on the Search click. But it hides anyway

Don't push 'answer' to ask questions. A questin is not an answer. Did you try what I suggested ?
