Hi

I would like to run a javascript function (to confirm deletion) from a web control (asp:button) before posting back to the same page.

I have read about how to do this in several places (mybutton.attributes.add... )

However, the fact that I have asp.net validation controls on my page means that I automatically end up with two onclick attributes in my HTML and the javascript function is not called.

Has anybody encountered (and hopefully solved) this?

Thanks in advance

I am using both required field validators and regular expression validators.

I could probably work around the issue by using custom validators but I would rather do it with the controls I have if at all possible (it's easier & tidier).

If I resort to using custom validators then I'd be as well coding the whole thing (validation & confirmation) in the javascript onclick event. I could do this but would rather use the more concise & specific .net controls if I can.

Now HERE IS MY SOLUTION;
1) Change EnableClientScript settings to FALSE for each validation rule. (Custom or Regular doesn't matter)
This will post the page back and validate fields at server level.

2) Place your code which you would like to process, if all fields are valid to between followin if statement;
if Page.IsValid then
'Your code
end if

And this worked fine for me, I am positive it is going to work for you too,..

Thanks,
