Enable a button via javascript with PostBackUrl set -> the postbackurl doesn't work

[Fabio Mastria]

Why a button enabled via javascript don't post to a page to the url set in
PostBackUrl property?

thank you all

dpends on how you are enabling the control. if you are using a PostbackUrl,
this is done in javascript by setting the button's onclick event to
WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions. one of the args is the postback url. this
function updates the action, does a form submit and cancels the buttons event.

view source to see what javascript is on the button's onclick (maybe you
defined an action that prevents the proper behavior).

It might be because in the javascript code, you have set the return
statement to false. i.e. return false;
If it is so, the button will not postback
