Javascript functions with asp.net button

Question

Is there a way to add javascript functions to an asp.net button other than the way that is similar to: (C#)

Button link;
link.attributes.add("onmouseover", "functioncall()");

you write it on the client side. use libraries like jQuery

This is the most straight-forward way, quick and dirty...

<asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" onmouseover="functioncall();"></asp:Button>

You should also consider using unobtrusive javascript with the aid of jQuery, by adding custom attributes...

<asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" data-whatever="value"></asp:Button>

Then hook up the function on page load using jQuery...

$(function(){
    $('[data-whatever=value]').click(functioncall);
};

From trying your first solution I get a warning that says that onmouseover is not a valid attribute of the element 'Button', should I just leave it alone and move on?

Yup, just ignore it, the button will indeed be parsed to an HTML button (or submit input) at runtime and it will be correctly render with the onmouseover attribute
