on a web page, i have a button, which when clicked, should open a message box with a message "Do you want to save??" and a "Yes" and a "No" button.Once the user selects any one of the two, the message-box should close.
in the click event of the button, i should be able to trap either of the two values selected by the user, as i have to different methods to call, depending on the selection of the user.

Please help.

You need to use the confirm funtion in JavaScript. If the user selects NO, return false and nothing happens. Otherwise your code behind for the button will run.

i need to perform something when the user selects No or Cancel, thus i need to trap both the buttons, which is not fulfiled by the confirm function in Javascript

Then you would have to create the popup page with your yes and no button. Then depending on which one is clicked set a session variable (and close the popup with JavaScript). Then access the session variable on the main page.

but once the popup with the yes and no button is closed, will i return to the click event of the button of the parent page, from where the popup was opened ??

I think it will do a postback on the main page. You might have to check the value there. Just create a simple test page for testing.

yes, jbenson001 - when the popup closes, a postback on the main page occurs, from where i can continue --- thanks a ton

You are welcome.. glad you have it working now... :)
