Question

I don’t know if I’m just being stupid but I can’t get bloody Javascript in my asp buttons onclick event 🙁

  <asp:Button ID="DeleteButton" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" onclick="Javascript:returnConf();" />

I’ve tried variations including things like:

 <asp:Button ID="DeleteButton" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" onclick="<%= GetMyStupidCode() %>" />

but the compiler keeps picking it up as code it should interpret or something and gives me errors such as:

Identifier expected

Invalid expression term )

Missing )

I’m lost, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance,

Just write

OnClientClick="return confirm('This will delete the user permanently. Are you sure?');"
