onclick will not call the server event, better write a javascript method and call server method using ajax.

I tried with the following. Not working. Even it not reaches the breakpoint at code.

<script type="text/javascript">
function progressiveTd() { Panel5.Visible = true;.....}
</script>
<td id="progressiveTd" onclick="progressiveTd_Click"..

in code:
protected void progressiveTd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, GetType(), "", "progressiveTd();", true);

}

That is because you are trying to connect the client-side scripts to your server-side scripts — while that is possible through Ajax requests, this is not going to work. What you should have done is, created a JavaScript function on the client-side and used that to handle the event.

JavaScript

function button87 () {
   // Code to execute here.
}

This will be executed one your table description cell gets a click on it. Note that, attaching a server-side event was done in ASP.NET Web Forms where you also had set runat="server" attribute to the elements. ASP.NET would then process the element on the server-side instead of the client-side. But if you are processing the element and handling the events on the client-side, you must write JavaScript (client-side) code to handle them too.

I have trusted MDN documentations for these years and I would recommend the same to you, DOM on-event handlers - Web developer guides | MDN[^]
