>I have a dropdownlist with the autopostback set to true. I want the
user to be confirm whether they do indeed want to change the value,
which on post back fires a server side event (selectedindexc hanged).
I have tried adding an onchange attribute "return confirm('sure u wanna
change this?';") but it will not postback regardless of the confirm
result and the value in the list does not revert back if cancel
selected.
Is there a solution?
