Javascript not working

[tshad]

I have the following code that attaches a Javascript confirm box to my
checkbox. When I select the checkbox, the window comes up fine, but it
never executes the XfertoDefault_Click function when I press the Yes button.
If I take off the Javascript event, the checkbox works fine.

XferToDefault.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm('Are you sure you
want copy these entries?');")

<asp:CheckBox ID="XferToDefault" AutoPostBack="true"
OnCheckedChanged="XferToDefault_Click" runat="server"/>

If I change the checkbox to an ImageButton, it all works fine - the
Javascript window as well as going to the function after the Yes button is
pressed.
<asp:ImageButton ID="XferToDefault" OnClick="XferToDefault_Click"
ImageUrl="../../buttons/xfer.gif" runat="server"/>

Why doesn't the checkbox (or radiobutton) work?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

Try

XferToDefault.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if(!confirm('Are you sure you want
copy these entries?')return;")

If it works, I can explain the reason.

Tom,

Try

XferToDefault.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if(!confirm('Are you sure you want copy these entries?')return;")
I tried that, but there must be a problem with the Javascript. I don't get
the confirm box at all now, as well as not going to the function.

Tom,

If an input html control, such as a regular button, or a checkbox, has both
client- and server-side onclick event assigned, asp.net arranges it in the
way

onclick="<javascript for client-side>; <javascript to invoke server-side
handler>;"

In your case you had

onclick="return confirm(...); <javascript to invoke server-side handler>;"

Obviously, the javascript to invoke server-side handler never had its chance
to run.

For ImageButton, which renders as <input type=image>, asp.net apparently
arranges event handlers differently.

For example, it will be produced for the following html:

return confirm() always returns (true or false)

if (!confirm()) return; only returns (without value) if *not* confirmed
and continues (with the postback presumably) if it *is* confirmed.

check boxes do not postback automatically. .net add client script (a call to
__doPostback), after any script you add. if your client code does a return,
the postback script will not be called.

But in my case, I am doing an autoPostback=true and it does postback (if you
