 <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="Server">


    <script src="../JS/jquery-1.9.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function() {
     $('<%= btnSearch.ClientID %>').click(function() {
         $.blockUI({ message: 'Just a momeqweqwent...'});

     setTimeout(function() {
         $.unblockUI({
             onUnblock: function() { alert('onUnblock'); }
         });
     }, 2000);
