Bishoy,

What calls your javascript function?

I don't see any code to fire it. Is it attached to a button click?

you seem confused. after you click the button, view source and you should
see the javascript function defined on the page. you still need some client
(javascript) code to call it. if you just wnat it to run then try inline
script:

string toRed = "<script language=\"javascript\">document.bgColor =
\"red\"; </script>";

Bishoy,

You're confused about how javascript works...

Javascript fires client side. What you've written is a piece of code that
places your javascript on the browser of the client machine in the web page,
but you are not telling the client to run the code.

There are two ways to do this. One way requires a post back to the server
which is what you originally attempted. Here's how that would have to change
to work:

private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string toRed = "<script language=\"javascript\"> ";
toRed += "document.bgColor = \"red\"; } ";
toRed += "</script>";

RegisterStartupScript("bgColor",toRed);
}

But if you have to post back to the server in order to then fire your
javascript it's silly to use javascript at all; since you can just change
the background color via server side code. so here is what you probably
intended to do (Note that I've added a "return false" line to your original
javascript method and moved it to the page load):

namespace Testings
{
public class CallJavaScriptFromServerCode : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button Button1;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string toRed = "<script language=\"javascript\"> ";
toRed += "function RedIt() { ";
toRed += "document.bgColor = \"red\";
toRed += "return false;} ";
toRed += "</script>";

if(!IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("bgColor"))
{
RegisterClientScriptBlock("bgColor",toRed);
}

//attach a javascript to your button that calls the RedIt method on the
client.
this.Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:RedIt();");

}

#region Web Form Designer generated code
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
InitializeComponent();
base.OnInit(e);
}
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.Button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.Button1_Click);
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

}
#endregion

You don't even need the button click's event handler because the client
won't post back.

try changing the script like below and if that is the result you are looking
for, please read through
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2002/July/CleintSideScripting.asp

private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string toRed = "<script language=\"javascript\"> ";
toRed += "document.bgColor = \"red\";";
toRed += "</script>";

if(!IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("bgColor"))
{
RegisterStartupScript("bgColor",toRed);
}
}
}

Bruce Barker:
You just wrote what I did write.

S.Justin Gengo:
1- I know that javascript is a client side code, I want to run that client
side code with server side controls.
2- The first code you wrote actually did it
3- I would greatly appreciate you if you write to me a server side code that
can change the background color on click of a button
4- In the second code you wrote, you should write the javascript code in the
..aspx page not the .aspx.cs page so it doesn't work

Sreejith Ram:
1- Your code also worked
2- Thank you for the reading source

The conclusion:
the keyword function ****()
should only be written when you will call it later by onclick="****();" in
the inline code page
