Hi, I have a C# ASP.net 2.0 built on VS 2005, and the piece of code:
javascript:confirm('are you sure delete record?') on gridview at
rowDataBound - OnClientClick, works fine, it asks the user and if cancels,
does nothing... but on my machine at HOME, even when I click cancel it
deletes the records... It´s a very strange problem because to my knowledge
it´s a client feature... What can be the problem ? IE versions ?

Thanks!
 
on my work machine works well, but on my home machine doesnt... both are XP

Don't use the javascript: protocol when you aren't putting the
Javascript in an URL.

The event expects a return value from the code, which is used to
determine if the action should be canceled or not.

So, the correct code is:

OnClientClick="return confirm('are you sure delete record?');"

Göran, my code is the same as yours and works only on my machine at work...
Any suggestion?

Incorrect syntax is your problem...

OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this
record?');"

Have you examined the generated code to see if there are any differences?
