Firstly, are you absolutely sure that the script "never gets done"...? If
you put a breakpoint (or use the debugger; method) in the JavaScript
function, does execution pause as expected...?

If not, are you absolutely sure that the Email method is available to the
page once it's been rendered to the browser, i.e. can the hyperlink "see"
the Email method...? An easy way to check is to do this:
lnkSendEmail.OnClientClick = "alert('Hello');"; If that works, then you have
almost certainly put the JavaScript method / file in the wrong location...

Finally, might you have accidentally turned JavaScript off...?

Hello tshad,

And where is your JS code?
Seems that you miss your implementation. Because if u put the following code
on the page the "Hi" message box is shown when u click the linkButton

<script type="text/javascript">
   function Email()
   {
       alert('hi');
   }
</script>

t> Using VS 2005, I have the following linkbutton:
t>
t> <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkSendEmail" runat="server" Text="Send Email"
t> CssClass="cssbutton"
t> Width="165px" OnClick="lnkSendEmail_Click"
t> CausesValidation="False" />
t> I want to add a Javascript to it so I do the following in my
t> Page_Load (!IsPostBack) event:
t>
t> lnkSendEmail.OnClientClick = "Email(this);";
t>
t> Here is the code that is rendered:
t>
t> <a onclick="Email(this);" id="ctl00_mContentPlaceHolder_lnkSendEmail"
t> class="cssbutton"
t> href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$mContentPlaceHolder$lnkSendEmail
t> ','')"
t> style="display:inline-block;width:165px;">Send Email</a>
t> So the onclick is there, but it never gets done - I assume because of
t> the postback, but not sure.
t>
t> How would I fix this to do this javascript?
t>
t> Thanks,
t>
