Add attribute from external javascript file

[ManicCW]

Hi,
I need to add attribute to button in datagrid. I use this in datagrid ItemDataBound event:

Dim imgDelete As ImageButton = CType(e.Item.Cells(6).FindControl("imgDelete"), ImageButton)
imgDelete.Attributes.Add("onClick", "ConfirmDelete()")

Now this javascript function is located in external file. Here is function:

function ConfirmDelete(){
return confirm("Ovom akcijom trajno brisete zapis!\nOK za nastavak.\nCancel za ponistavanje akcije.");
}

Now when confirm box is raised and I click Cancel postback occurs!?
Postback does not occur when I use javascript function in page itself like:

imgDelete.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return confirm('Ovom akcijom trajno brisete zapis!\nOK za nastavak.\nCancel za ponistavanje akcije.');")

What is the problem here???

anyone. come one people dont have much time

In the ItemDataBound Event, change that to:

imgDelete.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return ConfirmDelete()")

and make sure ConfirmDelete() returns false. Returning false will stop the postback from happening and it has to be returned from the OnClick of the button
