Question

I am trying to call a javascript function from asp.net codebehind using onclientclick for a linkbutton. Code is like this:

string x = "redirecttoimagepage"+"("+ y+")";//y has an int value i need and it varies
lnkimagepage.OnClientClick = x;

i need to use the value y in the javascript function for using.

 function redirecttoimagepage(variable)
{
var strURL = "Subpages.aspx?tabID="+variable;
window.open(strURL,"_blank");
return true;
}

Right now, with the code i have shared, it doesnt do anything. After the link is clicked, it stays in the same page. What am i doing wrong? Appreciate all your help guys. Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

string x = "redirecttoimagepage"+"('"+ y+"')";
lnkimagepage.Attributes.Add("onclick",x);

EDITED

in addition, just noticed that lnkimagepage is a LinkButton so it will be hard to invoke redirecttoimagepage script as LinkButtons are already associated with __doPostBack jscript. use HyperLink instead of LinkButton
