Hi, the server-function that will be called is "btn_submit_Click1". So you don't need the OnClientClick. Regards Sebastian P.S.: Oh wait, you could also try to use AJAX, but that's more sophisticated. What do you want to achieve?

The server event will be attached to btn_submit_Click1 Im assuming your hoping checkcategory() would be called from OnClientClick. OnClientClick is reserved for JavaScript which has no direct relationship with the server. You would need to call checkcategory (assuming its a server side function) in btn_submit_click1. Or if you explicitly needed to call checkcategory from the client side function you would use Ajax (Google it!) FYI, calling a javascript function from OnClientClick would be OnClientClick="checkCategory()" function checkCategory() { alert("CheckCategory Called.."); }
