How to Ignore a Asp:Button or asp:linkbutton click

[RSB]

Hi

I am executing a JavaScript Function for a Button and doing some custom data
validation.
Now i want to Ignore the Button Click if the Data validation Fails. i am
using return(false) in the JavaScript Function but that does not work.

Please help.
Thanks
RSB

Hi RSB,

Have you tried adding a custom validator ?
This best fits in this situation. Keep a custom validator and enable disable
the CustomValidator based on the Data validation you are doing.
PS: You may also need to add the Serverside code also for the
customvalidatior.

Make sure that you AutoPostBack Property is set to false on the buttons.

Make sure that you AutoPostBack Property is set to false on the buttons.

set the href to a javascript function like this..
href="javascript:MyFunction()";

you can write event.cancelBubble in MyFunction to true and return false;
