    Onclick Event won't fire for an HTML button with runat="server"

    Hello,

    I have a standard HTML button on an aspx web form that I have set to
    runat server. The button is named reset1 and its tag is as follows:

    <INPUT id="btnReset1" style="WIDTH: 60px; HEIGHT: 24px" type="reset"
    value="Reset" name="btnReset1 " runat="server">

    Using Interdev I then double click the button in design view and in the
    code behind page (aspx.vb) have the following:

    Private Sub btnReset1_Serve rClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal
    e As System.EventArg s) Handles btnReset1.Serve rClick
    Response.Write( "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javas cript'>")
    Response.Write( "alert('hi' )")
    Response.Write( "</SCRIPT>")
    End Sub

    All my <ASP:OBJECTS> run fine, but NOTHING happens when I click this
    one button. I have tried adding different onclick events to call the
    code behind without success. What do I need to do to get this button
    to fire the server-side code?

    Thanks,
    Ryan

      Re: Onclick Event won't fire for an HTML button with runat=&quot;ser ver&quot;

      Do you want to reset the form and post back?
      In this case change the type of the button to "button" instead of "reset".
      Then in HTML view of the page, do the following:
      Add an onclick event for the Java Script, so it should look something like
      this
      <INPUT onclick="DoTheR eset();" id="Reset1" ......
      Note the semi-colon after the function name, because it is runat server, MS
      will add more Java script for postback, else you will get an error.
      Then add Java script right to the end of the page
      function DoTheReset() {
      Form1.reset();
      }

      Your script will run first, then the MS script to do the postback.

          Hi Chris,

          Yes, this is what I am looking to do. The problem with the different
          approaches I have tried so far is that I am trying to get to a
          completely clean page...pre-databinding. I have tried clearing the all
          the fields using javascript then clearing the view state using an ASP
          Button. My data comes back as if I had never cleared it. It seems to
          remember when it reposts. (I just called ViewState.clear ). Will the
          method below work to restore a blank slate page (pre-databind)...I wish
          they had a data.unbind!!!

          Thanks,
          Ryan

              By the way, I have found that if I redirect myself back I have no
              problem, but this seems kludgy...

              Thanks,
              Ryan

                  Redirect back to the page is a good idea then, it is simple and if it works
                  for you it is less kludgy than Java script, etc.
