Question

I have an asp.net button control on the page.

<asp:Button ID="btnFinishReceiving" runat="server" Text="Finished Receiving" Width="168px"
                                    OnClick="btnFinishReceiving_Click" />

on the click of it I am opening a dialog box.

$("#<%= btnFinishReceiving.ClientID %>").click(function() {
            $("[id*='ConfirmDialog']").dialog('open');

        });

$(document).ready(function() {
   $("[id*='ConfirmDialog']").dialog({
            autoOpen: false,
            width: 600,
            buttons: {
                "Yes": function() {
                    return true;
                },
                "No": function() {
                    return ValidateClientInfo();
                }
            }
        });
    });

Issue is : As soon as I click on the button, dialog box come up and page got postback. I want to postback the page once user clicks on a button in dialog box.

Answer 1

Have your form’s “onSubmit” function return false.

UPDATE: To be extra sure, event.preventDefault(); will also stop any default behavior at that time, such as a form submit.
