How to call a server side button click event from external JS file?

Question

I have a toolbar that when an item is clicked that it calls a radconfirm window from an external js file, and when you click on the ok button it calls a callbackfunction, in the callbackfunction I am searching for Button1 to call its onclick event so I can add some code to delete a record from the database. I know this can be done when all the script is put into the markup, but I want to clean up the markup an put everything in an external js file.

The javascript is..

function CallConfirm() {
var oConfirm = radconfirm("howdy", confirmCallbackFn, 500, 500);
}

function confirmCallbackFn(arg) {
if (arg == true) //the user clicked OK
    {
        document.getElementById("<%=Button1.ClientID%>").click();
    }
else {
    document.getElementById("rbtnRefesh").click();
    }
}

Any idea's would be appreciated, other than "use ajax and a webmethod". I don't have any webmethods and I am not using the WebAPI either, just using a stored procedure.

Thanks

Probably your biggest obstacle will be getting those control Ids into the external javascript file. — Jasen

@Jasen, That worked exactly like I wanted it to. If you want to post that somehow as an answer I would be more than happy to accept. It saved me a lot of grief. — Chris

Declare a global Javascript variable that contain the button ID name on the aspx page. After that, you can then reference this variable on the external JS files.
