Running javascript before postback

[sodakotahusker]

I have a delete button which is a server side control. When the user clicks that button, I want to verify on the client side that they really want to delete the record. If they say yes I want the postback to occur. If no, I want to cancel postback. Can I do this?

I know I can do this with an HTML button instead of server side and then just submit the form. However I am trying to learn ASP.NET so I'm looking for answers that go beyond just making something work.

Yes it can just add a onclick function to the server control like this

ctl.Attributes("onclick") = "return JSFunction();"

Then in javascript

return true to allow postback

or return false to disallow postback.
