I am developing in ASP.NET and have come across a problem: I need to prompt the user with a yes / no question, which I am doing by inserting a window.confirm() script into a RegisterStartupScript command(), as this needs to be done from a server-side function. The script also writes to a hidden control whether the the user clicked on OK or cancel.

This works fine, but I need a postback to occur after the user has clicked OK so that I can carry out the process the user was prompted for. Otherwise there is no way the code can respond to this event. Any Ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Gary

Are you adding the event attribute to the button? For example:

btnButtonName.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return (confirm('Are you sure you want to process this?'));")

I'm not so sure what you're gonna to do with your programme, but does this script helps?

Dim str as string = "if(confirm("Are you sure")){---your 'OK' statement---;}else{---your cancel statement---;}"

Page.RegisterStartupScript("str", str)

Thanks for your comments, however I got round the problem by
writing some script to take the value from the confirm box and enter it into the address bar parameters.

<script language=javascript>
var con = confirm("Click yes to postback"); if(con)window.location="mywebpage.aspx?clicked=OK" ;
</script>

Cheers,
Gary

i still not so sure what you really want to do with your program. can you please show me some codes or the error message? Btw, your code looks fine to me
