How to disable postback on an asp Button

Question

I have an asp button. It's server-side so I can only show it for logged in users, but i want it to run a javascript function and it seems when it's runat="server" it always calls the postback event.

I also have a regular button (<input...>) not running at server and it works fine...

How can I make this button only run the javascript and not postback?

Hello @kartik,

Use:

YourButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return false");

or

<asp:button runat="server" ... OnClientClick="return false" />

Hope this is helpful!!

Thank You!!
