Calling server event of a button in ASP.NET from Javascript

Question

I have a button, I need to display a pop-up in javascript. So on its client click I call a javascript function which does that.

if user clicks "yes", I need to do a post back and call buttons server side click event, here is what I am doing inside the javascript function

__doPostBack(deleteLinkButton, 'Click'); 

' Where deleteLinkButton is a variable that has client Id of the button.

Postback happens but it does not go in the click handler for that button.

What can be wrong?

Ever find a solution to this? I'm running into the same issue. — ryanulit

You need to use the name attribute rather than the id attribute of the rendered input tag. — Stuart

I am sorry for not explaining this in the question, deleteLinkButton is the variable that has the button client id.

Can be done like this:

document.getElementById('<%= Button.ClientID %>').click();
