Thanks – both good answers. I went with the client side script “pageloaded” in the end. That is a fairly buried method that google did not reveal to me. For those who are interested, this code works with FireBug to give a good demo of the PageLoaded method working to find the updated panels:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
panelsLoaded = 1;
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_pageLoaded(PageLoaded)
});
function PageLoaded(sender, args) {
console.log("I have occured " + panelsLoaded++ + " times!");
var panelsCreated = args.get_panelsCreated();
for (var i = 0; i < panelsCreated.length; i++) {
console.log("Panels Updating: " + panelsCreated[i].id);
}
var panelsUpdated = args.get_panelsUpdated();
for (var i = 0; i < panelsUpdated.length; i++) {
console.log("Panels Updating: " + panelsUpdated[i].id);
}
}
</script>
