How do I wire a javascript function to an update panel so it fires when the panel is updat

I have a list of location in an update panel and a virtual earth map w/ pushpin's representing each of the locations. My update panel works great for paging through the location list using some custom paging where a the panel updates when the paging buttons are clicked. What I'd like to be able to do though is wire up an event handler to the update panel so when it refreshes, my javascript function can make a page method call and get new set of pushpins to display on the virtual earth map.

a) How do I get a reference to the update panel in javascript?

b) What is the update panel event that I wire a call back method to?

Thanks!

Hi there, you can accomplish this by hooking up a client side event handler to the PageRequestManager pageLoading event. The event args will indicate the list of UpdatePanels that are getting refreshed, you can inspec the array and if the UpdatePanel that you are interested in is being refreshed call your function.

Federico,

Thanks for the reply. Because the ASP.NET forums are moderated, I literally just figured it out before receiveing your reply. The PageRequestManager in Beta 1 is awesome!
