Check the html that is produced for the button.
Maybe the onSomethingSomething has an underscore or something now.
Maybe the ND 4.x web variable processing is handling the request somewhat
differently to ND 3.x.
I am worried that adding the pseudo hidden field will cause the event to be
called all the time.
At least you should use some JavaScript to change its name or contents.
Still the action does look strange with the button not in a name value pair.

Hi Rajesh,
Didn't see you for while!
I don't know how to straighen out the 'action' part of it.
But without it, if you add a hidden field to the form identical to
the
button:
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="btnRefresh_onWebEvent(btnRefresh)"
VALUE="Refresh" >
a simple submit() will take you there.

Aby
