Calling javascript function in asp.net

Question

Ok so this is a snippet of my aspx file, I am trying to call a "hello world" function from the 'test.js' file. This is obviously not working, could someone please recommend me a good way of doing it?

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    <Scripts>
        <asp:ScriptReference Path="\App_JavaScript\test.js" />
    </Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:Button ID="timebutton" runat="server" Text="clickme" OnClick="javascript:getData();" /><br />

Use jQuery to assign the function to the click event of the button.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="\App_JavaScript\test.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery.js"></script>

    <script>

    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#timeButton').click(getData);
        //Use below instead if you are using Master Pages
        //$('#<%= timeButton.ClientID %>').click(getData);
    });

    </script>

<asp:Button ID="timebutton" runat="server" Text="clickme" />

This will not work. The rendered ID of a server side button is not what you place in the ID field.

Unless you're talking about .NET 4.0, this will not work. You still need to use the ClientID and not just #timebutton

If the web form is NOT inside a master page, then will the client ID not be the same as the ID specified? It's been a while since I've worked without master pages so I could be mistaken.

If you need a postback to occur you can also use ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock
