Question

I have page with 2 textboxes and button. When I press the button, some event appears on the server. But I need to check case if textboxes are empty. So I’ve made 2 events for button onclick="Button1_Click" onclientclick="Button1_javaEvent()". In event Button1_javaEvent I check this case. Is it possible to stop Button1_Click in javascript if textboxes are empty and how???

 function Button1_javaEvent() {
        var flag = false;
        var message_str = "";
        if (main_form.Text_login.value == "") {
                message_str += "Enter the login";
                message_str += "\n";
                flag = true;
            }
         if (main_form.Password_login.value == "") {
                message_str += "Enter the password";
                flag = true;
             }
             if (flag == true) {
                 alert(message_str);
             }
             else {                  
                   ????????????         
             }
         }

Use following code:

onclientclick="return Button1_javaEvent()"

Return true/false from Button1_javaEvent() function, if Button1_javaEvent() return true then postback will happen otherwise not.
