Messagebox linked to link button

[tshad]

I was looking at Scott Mitchells article:
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/090402-1.2.aspx the tells how to
call a messagebox from a button and can almost get it to work but ran into 2
problems. You have to press the button twice to get it to work and I can't
figure out how to get an answer (OK or Cancel) from it.

Here is the onClick function:

sub Resume_Click(sender as Object, e as eventArgs)
btnResume.Attributes("onclick") = "javascript:return " & _
"confirm('Are you sure you want to delete FAQ #?')"
end sub

The linkbutton is:

Would you like to submit a <asp:LinkButton id="btnResume"
Text="Resume" onClick="Resume_Click" runat="server"/>&nbsp;?

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Tom

Take the code out of the Resume_Click event and put it in the Page_Load
event.

What you want to do is set the onclick attribute in the load or pre render.
Then handle the click action in the Resume_Click method (ie, in this case,
looks like you want to delete a faq entry, do it there).

It works now.

I understand what Scott was doing now. You have to set it before the
routine is called. In my case, I was setting it in the routine I was
calling.

Actually, I wasn't deleting an faq entry, just using the button Scott set
up, just to get it to work.
