I have an ASP.NET datalist  

2. <asp:DataList ID="appointmentList" runat="server" Width="100%">
3.               <ItemTemplate>
4.                 <div class="appointment">
5.                   <div style="float: left; display: inline-block; width: 75%;">
6.                     <asp:Label Font-Bold="true" ID="type" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("AppointmentCategoryDescription") %>'></asp:Label>
7.                     -
8.                     <asp:Label ID="date" runat="server" Text='<%# DateTime.Parse(Eval("AppDate").ToString()).ToShortDateString() %>'></asp:Label><br />
9.                     (<asp:Label ID="outcome" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Status") %>'></asp:Label>)
10.                     <br />
11.                     <asp:Label ID="location" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Clinic") %>'></asp:Label>
12.                     <div class="clear"></div>
13.                   </div>
14.                   <div style="float: left; display: inline-block; width: 25%; text-align: right;">
15.                     <asp:Button style="display: none;" ID="view" runat="server" Text="VIEW" CssClass="viewbutton" CommandName='<%# Eval("AppID").ToString() + "^" + Eval("AppointmentCategoryDescription") + "^" + Eval("Company") %>' OnClick="view_Click" />
16.                     <div class="clear"></div>
17.                     <asp:Image ID="icon" ToolTip='<%# Eval("Company") %>' runat="server" AlternateText='<%# Eval("Company") %>' ImageUrl='<%# string.Format("~/SpecsaversPortal/images/{0}icon.png", Eval("Company").ToString().Substring(0,1).ToLower()) %>' />
18. 
    
19.                   </div>
20.                   <div class="clear"></div>
21.                 </div>
22.               </ItemTemplate>
23.             </asp:DataList>

I need to fire the OnClick event of the button when the whole div is clicked so I tried

1. $(document).ready(function () {
3. $(".appointment").click(function () {
4.         $('.viewbutton').click();
5.       });
6.     });

But, being new to jQuery, I am assuming that the click() event is the client not the server?  How can I fire the server side?
