It doesn't matter.

You can add the JS methods at the design level or add the methods to your controls in the code behind using <control>.Attributes.Add("<event>", "<method>")

hi dparsons,
 sorry for my late reply. Thanks for your reply.ya I added method of js file in code behind part like
  button1.Attributes.Add.("onclick","return validate()").
 I tried this but it is not calling the methods.Simply the page was getting postback.I googled regarding this from past two days. but i did not get solution.Please give me a small example of this.

once again thanks for your reply.

It sounds like the path you have supplied as the value for src is incorrect.

<script language="javascript" src="../javascript/abc.js" ></script>

Is this how your file structure looks:

root
     folder:javascript
          abc.js
     folder:somefolder
          page.aspx

That is how your structure would need to look for the SRC attribute to be correct, otherwise the JS file will not be included on the page.

hth.

good morning dparsons,
thanks for your reply,sunday is holiday to me,so that i couldn't see your reply.
 i read your article regarding how to get correct answers.you are right.in which way we are asking the question,in that same way we get our answers.i agree with you,we people need to brush up our English language which communicate with all over world.i will learn good English .
 you said that src path has incorrect.in src path javascript is the folder name which is having js file. should i need to include page also here.
in many solutions they given like src="/folder/file.js" only.i am trying for this.To solve this i am trying in so many ways.please give me one small example.i am very thankful to you.

Give the file structure in my previous post, a SRC attribute with these values should correctly add the js to your page:

/JavaScript/abc.js

I suggest using the above path since it should evaluate correctly regardless of where your page is physcially located in the file structue.

This should also work if your page exsits as I demonstrated in my previous post:
../JavaScript/abc.js

hi goodevening,
  my page is located in one folder called admin and js located in another folder called JavaScript.
now i tried in two ways.
1. <script language="javascript" src="../JavaScript/dkvendrg.js"></script>
    <asp:Button ID="btnAdd" Text="Add" OnClientClick="return vendvalidate();" runat="server" Width="64px" Height="24px" />

2. btnAdd.Attributes.add("onclick","javascript:vendva lidate()")

i need to include nearly 4 js file to different pages in my site.so that i am running behind js file. please help me

have a nice evening

sorry for saying this , i am leaving now, i will see your reply ,i tried this in many ways,please give one small example of it,
 you asked me root of the js right,
 root:wbfolder
   folder:JavaScript
     file:dkreg.js
thanks for your reply.
 another thing is that, i read your article regarding how to ask smart questions,its take some time to brush up my skills,
thanks once again

There really isn't an example I can give you outside of this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="/JavaScript/dkreg.js">
</SCRIPT>

That should link any of your pages to your JavaScript file.

You say that your JavaScript functions don't fire, what is the JavaScript error you recieve?

hi good morning,
  i am not getting any error here.when i click the button ,it is simply performing the action whatever i given.it is not firing any validation functions here.in my js validations i am not allowing end users to insert null values and non validate data.in js file most of all i am passing control id like document.getElementId("controlId") here.should i pass id values to functions.
