Question : BeginRequestHandler and EndRequestHandler Can't find control

through a prior question, i learned how to disable a button using an UpdatePanel and respective JavaScript

Now that I'm try to port the code to my real app, I can't get it to find the controls.

the difference is that in the sample i used to learn how to do this, the button to disable was right out there on the page.

now, it's inside a gridview row, which is inside a tabcontrol panel which is inside a content element of a master page!

Quite a stretch.

anyway, I have no idea about how to reference the button within the javescript (all attached

Any help would be most appreciated

Answer : BeginRequestHandler and EndRequestHandler Can't find control

Here are three files implementing the php image tag. I just put the image return in the php file, you can add the database code above or below that.
