Trigger c# Event from JavaScript Function

I'm trying to call c# event from javascript function. I tried this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function LikeClick() {
        document.getElementById('<%=Helper.ClientID %>').click();
    }
</script>

<asp:Button ID="Helper" runat="server" OnClick="Helper_Click" />

But it doesn't trigger the c# event.

I believe a <asp:Button> will natively post the form back without a client side event handler. You need a control that does not natively post back but instead uses a client side click handler to call the __doPostBack() function.

Change

<asp:Button ID="Helper" runat="server" OnClick="Helper_Click" />

to this

<asp:LinkButton ID="Helper" runat="server" OnClick="Helper_Click" />
