problem with redirecting page with OnClientClick

[Dan]

Hi,

i try to redirect to another aspx page with jscript. I use "OnClientClick"
but nothing happens.
I tried two ways.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan

....
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Button ID="ContinueButton" runat="server" OnClientClick="return
profiel()" />
</form>
....

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function profiel()
{
//window.location.href="page2.aspx"
Response.Redirect("page2.aspx")
}
</script>

Yes, the problem is that you are trying to use Response.Redirect (which is
server-side .NET code) in client-side script, which won't work. Use
location.href=newurl;

instead.

P.S.
Also, you need to return false after the window.location.href assignment to
prevent your server-side event from firing; then it will work.

I'd recommend to move js above and add "return false"

Example:


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function profiel()
{
window.location.href="page2.aspx";
return false;

}
</script>

<asp:Button ID="ContinueButton" runat="server" OnClientClick="return
profiel();" />

Well, Peter mentioned it already
