Hi I've an input button like 

<input id="btnDelete" type="button" value="Delete" name="btnDelete" runat="server" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete these records?');" />

and my serverside code is

Private Sub btnDelete_ServerClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDelete.ServerClick

' my code here

End Sub

but when I click on delete button I'm getting confirm msg box, but after that it is not going to server side event.

Anything wrong in this?

Thank you

USE OnClientClick for your client side javascript validation 

   <asp:BUTTON id="btnDelete"  name="btnDelete" value="Delete" onclick="btnDelete_ServerClick"                    
    OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete these records?');"/>

Maybe because its not a type=submit button?

<form name="frmPerson" action="/dome.asp">
   some form fields here
   .
   .
   <input id="btnDelete" type="submit" name="btnDelete" value="Delete" />
</form>

  • Hi thank you for your quick reply. It is working fine but, I've another textbox in the page with server event. For all these events btnDelete_ServerClick this method is getting fired. How to control this? I want to fire this event when ever I click on btnDelete button only. btnDelete_ServerClick this method is getting fired because default focus is going to this button automatically – jestges Feb 14 '12 at 05:56
