Any one has idea?

Answer 1

For asp linkbutton a client click should be:

OnClientClick="abc(); return false"

Answer 2

try after adding following code to OnPreInit method of base page.

protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
{
    if (Request.UserAgent != null && (Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("AppleWebKit") > 0))  // added for compatibility issues with chrome 
    {
        this.ClientTarget = "uplevel";
    }

    base.OnPreInit(e);
}
