confirm false value does not stop post back to server

[ThomasJ]

Ok so I have a DataGrid of which I have added checkboxes for every row, and a delete button.

All of the code for checking and actually deleting the rows runs fine, however, the javascript I have attached to this asp button does not seem to be running properly. Its a confirm box that while the code runs properly. A false value does not stop the post back to the server. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to see the code just let me know. But I've checked, and double checked it for correctness in placement and syntax...

I would really prefer to not have to make my asp button invisible and attach the javascript to an HTML button. Again, any help is most welcome.

u could set the properties of your asp button not to submit and then after the javascript confirm says its good, then the javascript should submit your form.

Well, after posting that I decided to try it the other way. Attaching the javascript to a HTML button, and then just having the javascript call my asp button. However, my deletion code, even if they click cancel and it skips the code that connects the javascript to my asp button. Rows are still being deleted. I see no connection between my delete method, and my java function and yet my method is still running.
My frustrations seem to only be beginning.

Yes, please.

First off, and Im have not taken offense to the change in my thread title. One, thats just my personality. I tend to be a little crazy and try to keep things fun. Two, looking back on it, that probably was not the best choice for the title and I do apologize for that. I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

In the Page Load
mDeleteBtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "ConfirmDelete();");


javscript
<script type="text/javascript">
function ConfirmDelete()
{
var r=confrim"Are you Sure you Want to Delete"))
if (r==true)
{
__doPostBack(mDeleteBtn);
}
else
{
}
}
</script>


Now, I have fixed this problem by adding an HTML button and removing the add attribute. However, I still am not sure why it was posting back even without hitting that code. It would literally skip over the post back, and still post back. I have since realized that the post back was not a good idea either. Im now getting the asp button by id and calling the click event. But this way did work, until it decided not to.
