Very simple question on Javascript with ASP button

[Frag]

Hi guys,

I searched around without any clear answer. Tons of stuff, but nothing concrete.

I am trying to call this Javascript function:

function ButtonClicked()
{
alert("The button has been clicked.");
}

Calling it from an HTML button is no problem at all. But there is no way I can call that function from an ASP button. I tried from the HTML side or the aspx side.

I understood that an ASP button run only on the server. But I can't believe you can't make that simple call. I really hate to use HTML button when the design with ASP on a Web Form is so fast and easy.

Since I am a newbie, some code example will be appreciated.

Briefly, I have an ASP button that I want to call the Javascript function "ButtonClic ked"

Thanks

Its a bug in the if conditional in javascript1.2 specifically.
I like to think so too, but I guess it was considered a "feature".
I.e., it was deliberate. Good thing it was stopped in time!
As far as I know, if (a=b) will always result in true in modern
browsers (the exception would be if a was read only).

.... or if b counts as false.
Try
var a=42;
var b=0;
if (a=b) {} else {alert("b false or JS 1.2 in effect");}

Netscape 4 was enough to drive a teetotaler to drink and an atheist to
religion. Yes, its a very good thing it was stopped :)

Yikes! Just when I thought I had it figured out, they type convert on
me. Sheesh. I think I will just stick to == and be happy :)
