Stop postback/refresh using a button...

Hello.

I'm trying to use an asp - not html - button without having a postback or a
screen refresh. I've tried turning off "CausesValidati on" and
"UseSubmitBehav ior" and I still get a screen refresh - which makes me think
I'm doing a postback. I've also tried "return false" in both the onclick
and OnClientClick events. No Luch. Can I use the onclick or OnClientClick
(or something else) to fire a javascritpt function and then stop?

Thanks.

I found the answer myself. Make sure UseSubmitBehavi or" is True. Do NOT
use OnClick as that requires a server postback. Use OnClientClick and make
sure to return 'false'. It does not have to be in a response to a "confirm"
box, just "return false;". You can do anything in between that doesn't
cause a postback.

Each time a webform is posted back (submitted), another URL is added to the browser's history list. My web application allows a back button to return to previously visited pages, but I do not wish to return to each Postback URL, but rather only the initial page URL. Is there a way to prevent Postback URL's from being added to the browser's history list Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi All :-) I have a web page that I need to refresh every time the page loads. I thought that the page automatically did a refresh/postback on the Page_Load event. Isn't refreshing the page the same thing as an Auto-postback? My page does not refresh with current data if you leave it, go to another page and return; but if you manually do a refresh of the page (using the Refresh button on the toolbar in IE), the page refreshes/reloads with...

Hi. If an ASP.NET page postsback, for example, after a button is clicked, and then I refresh the page (ie, by pressing F5 key), why does the same event occur when I press F5 as it did when I clicked the button? For example - On an ASP.NET webform I click a button which produces a postback and a Button.Click event. After the postback, I press F5 to refresh my webform, which executes Button.Click again. Is there a way to prevent the...

Hi, i'm not sure to understand the difference between refreshing the pagina by clicking on 'refresh' in the browser and a postback. What i think it is: Suppose a page with a form containing a textbox and a dropdowlist: and a button to start something n code-behind: a refresh doesn't send any value back to the server but with a postback, the values are sent? But then, which role does Viewstate play in the postback proces?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
