I have an asp button. It’s server-side so I can only show it for logged in users, but i want it to run a javascript function and it seems when it’s runat=”server” it always calls the postback event.
I also have a regular button (<input...
>) not running at server and it works fine…
How can I make this button only run the javascript and not postback?

You can use jquery click action and use the preventDefault() function to avoid postback
<asp:button ID="btnMyButton" runat="server" Text="MyButton" />
$("#btnMyButton").click(function (e) {
// some actions here
e.preventDefault();
}

Consider this.
<script type="text/javascript">
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_beginRequest(BeginRequest);
function BeginRequest(sender, e) {
e.get_postBackElement().disabled = true;
}
</script>

The others are right that you need your callback to return false; however I’d like to add that doing it by setting the onclick is an ugly old way of doing things. I’d recommend reading about unobtrusive javascript. Using a library like jQuery could make your life easier, and the HTML less coupled to your javascript (and jQuery’s supported by Microsoft now!)

ASP.NET always generate asp:Button
as an input type=submit
.
If you want a button which doesn’t do a post, but need some control for the element on the server side, create a simple HTML input with attributes type=button
and runat=server
.
If you disable click actions doing OnClientClick=return false
, it won’t do anything on click, unless you create a function like:
function btnClick() {
// do stuff
return false;
}

You don’t say which version of the .NET framework you are using.
If you are using v2.0 or greater you could use the OnClientClick property to execute a Javascript function when the button’s onclick event is raised.
All you have to do to prevent a server postback occuring is return false
from the called JavaScript function.

In my case, I solved adding return in the onClientClick:
Code Behind
function verify(){
if (document.getElementById("idName").checked == "") {
alert("Fill the field");
return false;
}
}
Design Surface
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="send" Text="Send" onClientClick="return verify()" />

you can use the code:
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server"
Text="Pulsa"
OnClientClick="this.disabled=true"
UseSubmitBehavior="False"/>
if nee submit
...
<form id="form1" runat="server" onsubmit="deshabilita()">
...
<script type="text/javascript">
function deshabilita()
{
var btn = "<%= Button1.ClientID %>";
if (confirm("Confirme postback"))
{
document.getElementById(btn).disabled = true;
return true;
}
return false;
}
</script>

With Validation
In this example I used two controls,ddl
and txtbox
, have a happy coding
asp:ScriptManager ID="script1" runat="server" /asp:ScriptManager
asp:UpdatePanel ID="Panel1" runat="server"
ContentTemplate
// ASP BUTTON
asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" class="btn btn-success" OnClientClick="return Valid()" OnClick="btnSave_Click"
/ContentTemplate
/asp:UpdatePanel
<script type="text/javascript">
function Valid() {
if ($("#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_YOUR CONTROL NAME").val() == 0) {
alert("Please select YOUR TEXT");
$("#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_YOUR CONTROL NAME").focus();
return false;
}
if ($("#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_YOUR CONTROL NAME").val().length == 0) {
alert("Please Type YOUR TEXT");
$("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_YOUR CONTROL NAME").focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>

You can use JQuery for this
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnID" />
than in JQuery
$("#btnID").click(function(e){e.preventDefault();})

You just need to return false from the
function jsFunction() {
try {
// Logic goes here
return false; // true for postback and false for not postback
} catch (e) {
alert(e.message);
return false;
}
}
<asp:button runat="server" id="btnSubmit" OnClientClick="return jsFunction()" />
JavaScript function like below.
Note*: Always use try-catch blocks and return false from catch block to prevent incorrect calculation in javaScript function.
