Calling onclick event through .aspx.cs page 1

[Craftor]

Hi all

I'm trying to call a JavaScript function through my CodeBehind page of my .aspx WebForm. I have added the following code in the Page_Init event:

btnDelete.Attributes.Add ("onclick", "return CheckDeletion(this.form);"

and btnDelete is a WebForms button control.

The code for the onclick is a direct cut and paste of the code that appeared for the onclick event of a standard input button control.

When I try to run it, it first gives me the error:

Expected '('

No matter if I click Yes/No to debug, the rest of the page loads fine ...

When I click my Delete button, it gives me the following error:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object expected

and it's breaking on the following line of code: onclick="return CheckDeletion(this.form);"

I've tried passing the actual form name, but it still gives me the exact same error.

If I make the button a normal <input> control, and put the code behind the onclick event, it runs fine :-(

Any ideas on this please?

Thanks as always

The problem is on your javascript... we can't help you if you don't post your javascript.

I didn't post it as it works fine if I call it as javascript ... i.e. putting it behind a straight HTML button ... but here it is ... If anyone would rather me post this in the Javascript forum - I'm quite happy to do so - but I really thought it was a problem in the C# code.

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--

function CheckDeletion(profileForm)
{

if (profileForm.chkConfirmDelete.checked)
{

profileForm.hidisDelete.value=&quot;true&quot;;
profileForm.hidClickDelete.value=&quot;true&quot;;
return true;

}
else
{

alert (&quot;Please confirm that you would like to delete this API User.&quot;
profileForm.hidClickDelete.value=&quot;false&quot;;
return false;

}

}


-->
</script>
