Add and event to a asp:button

[vavc1980]

hello!

I have a form in a aspx file, in which I have a button (asp:button), I want to add/attach an event (onclick, or onsubmit) using javascript, I know I just can type the syntax right there, but I was requested to do it through javascript document.getele mentbyid.

Is that possible? if so, how?

Thanks

You can attach javascript event handlers to your button that way.
If you want to attach a server-side code event handler to your button, I think you need to do that in server side code.

I got it!!

I wasn't using the "function" word before the name of the function I wanted to attach to the onclick event..

getelementbyid( "item").onc lick = function(){function_name( );};

thanks for the reply anyway.

Hmm, you should have been able to do this:
getelementbyid( "item").onc lick = function_name;

I think you leave out the (), but it might work WITH them in too.

I tried to do that before but it wasn't working out until I added the 'Function()' word like I posted before and then between the {} the name of my function.

Thanks for replying Plater.
