stop button postback ajax in non-ie

[gerry]

Sung the ASP.NET AJAX framework, and following the control creation examples
from the ajax toolkit I have created a simple custom control that includes a
button with a client side onClick handler.
Returning false from the handler prevents postbacks in IE but in firefox the
handler fires and does its thing but the postback still occurs as well.
I read that changing this from an INPUT SUMIT to a BUTTON would fix this
problem, however that to me is a problem as it always prevents postbacks. I
would still want postbacks to occur in the case where scripting is turned
off or not supported.

If I add an asp:Button to the page and set the
OnClientClick="alert('hi');return false;" the postback is suppressed in all
browsers as it should be - so I assume that the problem is buried somewhere
in the ajax framework.

Any suggestions ?

Hi Gerry,

I'm not very sure about your question, is it related to AJAX Control
Toolkit or you're just creating a simple ScriptControl?

Could you please post the complete code that could help to reproduce the
issue? Also, what's the version of Firefox you're using?

Thanks for the effort.

Hi Walter,

I am creating a "Custom ASP.NET AJAX Client Controls" based on examples in
the Ajax Control Toolkit.

I foundthe solution : rather than returning false from the event handler , I
called event.preventDefault();
_onButtonClick : function( e ) {
alert("Click Handler.");
e.preventDefault();
}
