This is also a good way to get server-side controls to postback inside FancyBox and/or jQuery Dialog. For example, in FancyBox-div:

JavaScript:

function testMe(params) {
    var btnID= '<%=MyButton.ClientID %>';          
    __doPostBack(btnID, params);
}

Server-side Page_Load:

 string parameter = Request["__EVENTARGUMENT"];
 if (parameter == "param1")
     MyButton_Click(sender, e);
