about onclientclick and postback

[Alex D.]

Hi.
I need to use a linkbutton to open a new window (it has to be a linkbutton
to match the look and feel of a link). In order to do that I use the
OnClientClick property and insert some javascript into it. It works fine but
I dont want the button to cause a postback since all I need is a client
javascript to open a new window.
Does any body knows how to disable the postback behavior?

Thanks,
alex.

I figured out already...instead of a linkbutton I used a server hyperlink
control with a NavigateURL property set to something like: javascript:; in
order for the link to be underline and the cursor to change to the hand one.
also added the real javascript to the attributes property. It works ok and
doesnt cause a postback.

Alex,

Glad you found a solution. Another way to do this would be to add "return
false;" as the last part of your javascript.
