Answer 1

You could force a postback from javascript and hence forcing a page reload event. In the Page.GetPostBackEventReference() you can handle the event and perhaps fire some other event.

This is not a good solution thougth and I truly recommend that you do it all thru javascript or drop the javascript and let .NET hadle everything, perhaps with Ajax.NET

The following link explains hwo you do it for a normal button, but it shouldn't be to hard to make it for a onchange event.
