Yes, there is a way to add the client side JavaScript.

While typing this post, I was listening to: Strugglin' by Tricky (Track 11 from the album: Maxinquaye) What's This?

Imar solved it.

Take the onclick="ConfirmDelete();" out of the control definition.

Add a line to your page load, like:     (Of course, whatever other contents you have in your page load event should be left there as well.) The result is the following in the browser: With that, you should be able to get this proposition to run.

Brian, I tried doing what you told me to do. But, I'm getting errors when I try to run it. It says 'Object expected.' It comes up where I declare my variable 'dlt'. I think I'm doing something wrong in the coding. Here is what I have:

in the aspx.vb file:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
  cmdDelete.Attributes.Add("onclick", "ConfirmDelete();")
End Sub

aspx file:
<script>
function ConfirmDelete()
{
if (confirm("...") == false)
{
document.all["results"].value = "False";
}
else
{
document.all["results"].value = "True";
var dlt;
dlt = return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete? To delete, click \"OK.\"\n"
+ "Otherwise, click \"Cancel.\"");
}
}
function SubmitRoutine()
{
if (document.all["results"].value == "False")
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
        </script>
    </HEAD>

<form id="Form1" onsubmit="return SubmitRoutine();" method="post" runat="server">
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <INPUT type="hidden" name="results" value="dlt">

**At the very bottom of my form near the end of the body:

<TR>
                                    <TD><asp:button id="cmdDelete" runat="server" Width="120px" Text="Delete"></asp:button></TD>
                                </TR>

Can you please tell me what's wrong w/this? Thanks so much for what you've done.

Ok, I've gotten rid of the variable 'dlt' which has gotten rid of the error. However, regardless of whether they click on 'cancel' or 'ok', it still executes 'delete'. All the other buttons are fine. I think I'm not passing in the values correctly and that is why it's executing regardless. This is the modified version of my code:

function ConfirmDelete()
{
// var dlt;
// dlt =
return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete? To delete, click \"OK.\"\n"
+ "Otherwise, click \"Cancel.\"");
if (confirm("...") == false)
{
document.all["results"].value = "False";
}
else
{
document.all["results"].value = "True";

}
}
function SubmitRoutine()
{
if (document.all["results"].value == "False")
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
        </script>
    </HEAD>

<form id="Form1" onsubmit="return SubmitRoutine();" method="post" runat="server">
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <INPUT type="hidden" name="results" value="results">

<TR>
                                    <TD><asp:button id="cmdDelete" runat="server" Width="120px" Text="Delete"></asp:button></TD>
                                </TR>

 Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
      cmdDelete.Attributes.Add("onclick", "ConfirmDelete();")
 End Sub

Can someone please tell me what is wrong here? Thanks.

When you use return in a JScript function, you leave the function. Therefore all of the JScript after                    in function ConfirmDelete will never be run. Try changing to       Also, I think I would omit the value="results" from the results hidden control. The only thing you are looking for is whether that control == "False". Since "" != "False", you are OK to have that value in the control. (Why send more characters to the browser than needed, right?)
Also, hidden controls don't show (they [u]are</u> hidden, after all), so formatting them with &nbsp;s is fruitless. (Why send more characters to the browser than needed, right?)

Anyway, since the hidden control never gets set, the onsubmit of the form never finds a false value to interfere with the submittal.

Ok, everything is working fine. But, now there is another problem. When I load the page and click on all of the other buttons, they do as they're supposed to. But if I click 'delete' and choose 'cancel' and then try to click the other buttons, they don't execute. I know the reason is because SubmitRoutine is set to 'false'. Is there any way for me to set it to true so that it won't affect the other buttons? Thanks.

What is happening is that the hidden control gets set to "False", and stays that way.

Modify the SubmitRoutine as follows:

Ok, everything is fine now. I thank Brian and everyone else for all of their help! :)
