I have a button click function, which accomplished a series of task. I want to show and update a progressbar upon completion of each task lets say 25%, 50% and likewise, I am using jQuery progress bar to achieve this and using 4 hidden fields to store the different values but the progress bar doesnot grow as the function goes on it directly show 100% complete the code sample is as follows
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="btnExecute" OnClientClick="return timeout_init();" OnClick="btnExecute_Click" />
codebehind: setting different hiddenfield values
protected void btnExecute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Ist level task complete
        hfProgressValue.Value = "25";
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        //IInd level task completion
        ProgressValue1.Value = "50";
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        //3rd level task 
        prg2.Value = "75";
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        //4th level task
        hfprg3.Value = "100";
    }
javascript
function timeout_init() {
            var progressBarVal = $("input[id$='hfProgressValue']").val();
            var progressBarVal1 = $("input[id$='ProgressValue1']").val();
            var progressBarVal2 = $("input[id$='prg2']").val();
            var progressBarVal3 = $("input[id$='hfprg3']").val();
            if (progressBarVal != "") {
                $("#progressbar").progressbar({
                    value: parseInt(progressBarVal)
                });
            }
            if (progressBarVal1 != "") {
                $("#progressbar").progressbar({
                    value: parseInt(progressBarVal1)
                });
            }
            if (progressBarVal2 != "") {
                $("#progressbar").progressbar({
                    value: parseInt(progressBarVal2)
                });
            }
            if (progressBarVal3 != "") {
                $("#progressbar").progressbar({
                    value: parseInt(progressBarVal3)
                });
            }
            setTimeout('timeout_init()', 0);
        }
