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.

Thanks for your help,
Gary

Perhaps you could write a JavaScript function that takes the value from the confirm box and enters it into the address bar parameters.

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

Is this what you wanted?
