javascript doesn't fire on asynch postback

[cognos s]

I do have a radgrid and a panel which has bunch of controls in it, one of which is a dropdown control.
when I select a record from the grid the panel controls are pre-populated with corresponding data.

when the dropdown list value is "other" i would like to execute javacript function.

I ajaxified the grid and the panel like this:

 

<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy ID="mpPatientPolicy" runat="server">

 

 

<AjaxSettings>

 

 

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="rgStudents">

 

 

    <UpdatedControls>

 

 

        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="rgstudents" LoadingPanelID="AjaxLoadingPanel" />

 

 

        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="pnlstudents" LoadingPanelID="AjaxLoadingPanel" />

 

 

     </UpdatedControls>

 

 

</telerik:AjaxSetting>
</ajaxsettings>
</telerik:radajaxmanagerproxy>

and I execute the javascript function like this.

 

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "key", "<script>hideElement();</script>"). the javascript is not getting fired.

Should I be using 

 

scriptManager.RegisterStartupScript to fire the javascript on async postback and what is the correct syntax?

Hello Cognos,

In order to achieve the desired functionality you need to use ScriptManager instead ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(.....).
For more information, please take a look at this blog post.

I hope this helps.
