calling a javascript function

[seanbo]

i am writing an aspx page using c#. i want to call a javascript function called 'displayMessage'. i have added the function to the aspx. how do i call it from within the c# code? i tried this.displayMessage("myMessage&quot, but it can't find the method.

Is the javascript function client side code - if so the c code will not inherit.

yes. what i actually want to do is put a message box on the screen. i can't find anything in the asp.net api to do it, so i thought i'd write a javascript function that uses alert. where do i have to put this function?

Nobody answered my question about ASCX files and same as yours. I think we need to use jscript alert function and make our control (like a Button) know this java script function by adding a c# code like
Button1.Attributes.add(&quot;onclick&quot;,&quot;javascript:myAlert()&quot;
as I saw on some messages on the forum.
