how can prevent page posting back

[m rastgar]

i have a webpage with asp button. in server side, i wrote some code for its button click event to delete the page data. but in client side i want user to confirm the deletion action. so i write this javascript code: {if(confirm("do want to delete data...."))} i don't know what to do to prevent page postback for false condition. what should i do...

Thanks Rastgar

{if(!confirm("do want to delete data....")) return; else do();}

Return a boolean in the click event of the button: onclick="return confirm('Delete?');" If the event returns false, the button click is stopped.

Thanks alot. but your sample code doesn't work or atleast i couldn't understand you and apply your method. but i found another method in other forum. here it is... { if(confirm('do you want to delete?') return true; if(document.all && window.event) event.returnValue = false; return false; } it works so much better and do what exactly i wanted.

Thanks Rastgar

i now 'if' parts and what 'return' does. the thing that i don't know is how to stop my page from postback. but now i found it. to know that refer to my reply to guffa

Thanks Rastgar

The code that I wrote does work, but the backwards way that this forum uses for "security" changed it. :( Remove the * in the code: o*nclick="return confirm('Delete?');"
