Is it not possible to call a JS function from an ASP.Net button.

In the HTML I assign the onClick="JS_Function()"

But when page is rendered I get the error:

JS_Function() is not a member of MyPage.aspx.

It appears the onClick is the same as the Click event, because all the
examples I saw show VB.Net, C# or JScript sever side code.

I am try to use a webimage button because it give me the look I want to call
a client side JavaScript.

Use OnClientClick instead of OnClick (ASP.NET 2.0 or higher).

Sorry, I forgot to mention this is 1.1 application. We are not quite ready
to upgradie it to 2.0. Is there any solution for 1.1?

Yes, you have to add the clientside onclick programmatically, like this
(in Page_Load)
If Not Ispostback Then
myButton.Attributes.Add("onclick","JS_Function()")
End If
