Question

Postback does not execute the code in jQuery

Answer 1

A:

To achieve what you want, you will have to make a slight change in tactics as when you reload a page your JavaScript will start from scratch (the web is stateless, so reloading a page means losing your state).

$("#show").click(function(evt) {
    evt.preventDefault();
    window.location = window.location + "#showmore";
}

Use this click event to load the same page, but with a flag or query-string that tells you more should be displayed...

if (window.location.indexOf("#showmore") == -1) {
    $("#someDiv p:not(:first)").hide();
    $("#someDiv p:first").after('<a id="show" href="#">Show more</a>');
}

And wrap the hide-code in a check to see if you should hide the text or not.

The code will be in a central js file. How can I handle the flag for multiple pages? Manipulating the QueryString will not be a good idea to do.

You'll have to pass the information as the web is stateless (i.e. one page knows nothing about the next). Alternative options may be to write a cookie to the client, but that's going to get unpredictable. If you just pop a querystring or bookmark on there, you can guarantee it will work.
