OnClientClick with confirm doesn't work

My GridView has a button with OnClientClick="if (!confirm('Delete?')) return
false;" which must deletes a record only if the user click on the OK button
of the confirmation window, but if he clicks on the Cancel button the record
is also deleted, that is, it is not working.

Could someone help me?

Hi Mauricio,

Had same problem myself some time ago.

Solution was to use OnClientClick="return confirm('Delete?');"

Hope this helps.

You need to also set the Submit behavior I think. If you leave it at default
a Submit button is generated which will always submit. If you use
UseSubmitBehavior == false the button gets generated as a button in which
case you can control submission manually:

<asp:Button runat="server" id="myButton" UseSubmitBehavior="False"
OnClientClient="if (!confirm("Delete?") return;
window.forms[0].submit();" />

rstrahl,

You don't need to use the UseSubmitBehavior in this instance as the
OnClientClick="return confirm('Delete?');" will return false if the
user selects No on the confirmation box, which in turn blocks the
button click event from bubbling any further. i.e. stopping the form
submission. OnClientClick="return confirm('Delete?');" is basically
a shorthand version of your code.
