    How to cancel a javascript initiated from a datagrid based on cell clicked?

    I have a datagrid that lists documents: Document Name, User Name, Date. When a user clicks on the row of the document it opens in word, excel, etc. The datagrid also has a delete command column. The problem is, after clicking and confirming the delete, the 'open document' also executes. I have been trying to figure out how to not execute the 'open document' function when the user clicked on the delete column. Everything is working, except for having to cancel the document open dialog after the delete. I was trying to see if I could cancel the 'open document' function based on the cell clicked (if it was the delete column), but haven't been able to determine how to do that. Here is the code:

    Code:
            Private Sub dgDocuments_DeleteCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgDocuments.DeleteCommand
    ' Deletes the document
                Dim doc As New Document
                Dim lDocID As Label
                lDocID = CType(e.Item.Cells(0).FindControl("lblDocID"), Label)
                doc.DocID = Convert.ToInt32(lDocID.Text)
                doc.Delete()
                BindDocGrid()
            End Sub
    
            Private Sub dgDocuments_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgDocuments.ItemDataBound
    
                Dim lDocID As Label
                If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
                    ' Get document id
                 lDocID = CType(e.Item.Cells(0).FindControl("lblDocID"), Label)
                    ' function to open a document when a row is clicked
                    e.Item.Attributes.Add("onclick", "OpenGridDocument(" & lDocID.Text & ")")
    
                End If
    
    
    function OpenGridDocument(docid) {
    		var winURL = "viewDocument.aspx?ID=" + docid;
    		window.open(winURL);
    }
Working...
