Calling Javascript confirm from code behind

[tshad]

I am trying to run a page that will get data from a database.

On return, based on what was returned, I want to be able to call "return confirm()" that will allow the user to select "Yes" to execute the page again and run the Object Data Source again or "No" to just use the page as is.

I can't attach it to a button as there is no button push.

I can use the RegisterStartupScript to execute it, but how do I respond or not respond to it after the user makes the selection?

Thanks,

Tom

There are several things that don't make sense, so I'm going to need some clarity.

You want the user to select "Yes" Is this a radio button? An Alert? A Button?
"Run the object data source" Do you want to re-bind/refresh the contents of whatever is holding your data?
Just because you don't want the user to click the button doesn't negate the need for a button.

No Text, so the user can't click anything:
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" CssClass="secretStealthlyClickLinkClass" ID="btnCancel"
OnClick="btnCancel_Clicked" />

Is the first action you want to prompt the user with really "Do you want to refresh?"
