Cannot perform a Click on a button via jQuery on Sortable or Draggable in ie8 using updatepanel
What i'm trying to do is to trigger a click on a hidden Button via jQuery on an Update event of a jQuery Sortable or on a Stop event of a jQuery Draggable.

There's also an asp.net ajax UpdatePanel involved in the process.

**It works on ie9, chrome, firefox, safari, but it does not work on ie8**.
If I take the updatepanel off, it works also in ie8.

When I say it doesn't work, what I mean is that the server side event handler of the asp:button's Click does not get fired. The click is being triggered by jQuery as you can see in the code snippet below:

    function pageLoad() {

        $("[id*='sortItems']").sortable({
            items: "li:not(.ui-state-disabled)",
            update: function (event, ui) {
                SortItems($("[id*='sortItems']"), "[id*='lblItemOrder']", "[id*='hfItemOrder']");
                $("#<%=btnRefreshList.ClientID%>").click();
            }
        });
    }

The same is happening when using a similar approach in a Draggable's Stop event.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
