Has anyone ever made a webform button run an onClick event that is a
Javascript in the HTML code and then after running the script make it go
into the code-behind? An HTML button will run the onClick event but will not
return to the code-behind. I need to get back to the code, which the webform
button will do but I can't make it execute the script.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

'Form the script that is to be registered at client side.

onClientClick() {"

ScriptString += "var retVal = window.confirm('Click OK to continue.
Click Cancel to stop.');"
ScriptString += "window.alert(retVal);"
ScriptString += "if (retVal){"
ScriptString += "window.alert('MVP Code is doing the Postback!');"
ScriptString += "return true;"

ScriptString += "window.alert('MVP Code is NOT Doing the
Postback!');"

scriptString += "script>"

If(Not IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("clientScript"))
RegisterClientScriptBlock("clientScript", scriptString)
End If


End Sub

Cathy,

Use VBNet webform project, and than
drag a webform button and a textbox on your page and paste in this in the
code behind

\\\
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
Me.TextBox1.Text = "Click the button"
Me.Button1.Text = "Send Mail"
Me.Button1.Attributes("onClick") = _
"window.location='mailto:[email protected]?subject=Cor demo&body=I
hope this helps?';"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.TextBox1.Text = "I was on the ServerSide"
Me.Button1.visible = False
End Sub
///

I hope this helps?
