You disable autopostback in the control itself... like a dropdown box or
such.

But my problems stems from the autopostback feature of asp.net page. I can
disable the autopostback feature on a control, but that does no good to my
problem.

ASP.NET do not have autopostback - autopostbacks are caused by a specific
control on the page.

Perhaps you did not disable autopostback on all the controls?

Since I have to use a server side control, I have to use a form. The form
autopostback to itself as defualt.

And yes, I did set EnableViewState="False" for the control, which should
disable the autopostback feature for the control.

So more precisely, I need to disable the form's autopostback feature.

Thanks,

It's a control on your form that is doing the postback, not the form
itself.

Maybe could you post the HTML output of the form?

I'm also facing this problem.

I have a form which has some text boxes and drop downs. I want to disable
the view state of all the controls on the form. When a user clicks an image
button, all I want is grab the values of all the controls and pass them to a
new window through query string ( I do not want to post the form and I use
window.open in javascript). But for some reasons the form does post itself to
the server. How can I disable this form from being posting itself to the
server.

Thanks for your response in advance.

If you want some javascript to open a new window for a new URL then you'll
have to write that all yourself. To get the javascript to execute you can
simply call on your ImageButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "YourJSFunction();
return false;"). The return false will prevent the normal postback.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.

An image is used as button, so its not ImageButton, just and HTML <IMG> TAG.
I tried to return false , but still the form posts itself.
<IMG SRC="image/imagefile.jpg" onclick="return openthis('sometext');">
....
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
function openthis(sometextvar)
{
window.open (someurl,'','');
return false;
}
</SCRIPT>

and it didn't work. The form still posts itself.
