First of all, getElementById('ImageButton10') will never find your runat server button because asp.net mangles the names of the control. Check page source and you'll see something like ctl00_pnlGrid_ImageButton10 in the control ID.

You have to do something like: document.getElementById('<%=ImageButton10.ClientID%>').Click();

Second, what kind of name is ImageButton10!? Give it some sensible name...and the rest of the controls too (DropDownList6? will you know what is in DDL5 in 6 months?) ! :)

document.getElementById('<%=ImageButton10.ClientID%>').Click();
On writing this an error ImageButton10 does not exit in current context is showing

Solution 1

remove your javascript code and add the onclick attribute to your button as below

ASP.NET

<asp:button id="Button2" runat="server" text="Ok"
            Width="123px" OnClick="ImageButton10_Click"  ></asp:button>

you dont want to call script to calling the Server side code.
