Question

Hi im looking to find out after I do this:

c#

div.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm_delete();");

javascript:

function confirm_delete()
{
  if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this comment?")==true)
    return true;
  else
    return false;
}

It pops up with a message box with yes and no if I press yes how can I add a function into my c# how can I call it?

If yes go to c# code behind

and add in confirm_delete 
if yes was clicked
do this 

I need it so when some one clickes yes I can (from code behind in asp.net c#) add in a method to delete from mysql database.

Just dont know how I refrence to the javascript

public static string confirm_delete()
{

    return something (dont know how to)

}

How about this add a button with the clientside click event instead of adding it in the code behind. Check to see if the popup returns true. If you return false it should prevent the server side event from firing.

<asp:Button ID="btn" OnClientClick="if(confirm_delete()){
/* post back*/
}else{
return false;
};" OnClick="btnDelete_Click" runat="server" Text="delete"/>



protected void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

  //run your serverside code if confirm was pressed.

}
