Question

I have Repeater control like this;

<asp:Repeater ID="repeaterCategoryList" runat="server" 
                onitemcommand="repeaterCategoryList_ItemCommand">
                <ItemTemplate>
                        <td class="center">
                            <asp:Button ID="buttonDelete" runat="server" CssClass="btn btn-primary" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" 
                                CommandArgument='<%# Eval("CategoryId") %>'/>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:Repeater>

And my code behind page looks like this;

protected void repeaterCategoryList_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
    {
         //my server side logic here
    }
}

And my javascript code in .aspx file looks like this:

<script>
    $(function () {
        $('#buttonDelete').live('click', function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $.alert({
                type: 'confirm'
                , title: 'Alert'
                , text: '<p>Are you sure, you want to delete this category</p>'
                , callback: function () {

                    // call server side here
                }
            });
        });

    });
</script>

How do I call the repeater delete command logic inside my javascrpt?
Is there any alternative way to do this?

You can use ItemDatabound property of repeater to bind the Javascript function to Dalete Button Onclick event as follow…

CodeBehind:-

 void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(Object Sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)  
 {     
   if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) 
      {
        int IdToBeDeleted=((Label)e.Item.FindControl("idFieldControl")).Text;     
        Button Btn= (Button)e.Item.FindControl("buttonDelete");     
        Btn.Attributes.Add("onclick","return ConfirmDelete('"+IdToBeDeleted+"')");    
      }

 } 

Javascript:

<script>  
  function ConfirmDelete(var idVal) 
  {    
     if(Confirm("Are you sure, you want to delete this category?")) 
      {
         var xmlhttp;
         if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
         {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
             xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
         }
         else
         {// code for IE6, IE5
             xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
         }


         xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
         {
            if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
               {
                 alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
               }
         }
          xmlhttp.open("POST","DeletePage.aspx?id="+idVal,true);  
          xmlhttp.Send();
      }
  } 
</script> 

DeletePage.aspx:

function pageLoad(sender, eventArgs) 
{ 
    if(!IsPostBack)
     {
       int IdToBeDeleted=Request.QueryString["id"];
       Write Your Delete Code Here...
       if delete successful...Response.Write("Delete Successful");
     }
}
