Hi

Thank's! That a little bit on the way.. i don't get it all, though.
firstly, i call a function,
OnClientClick="javascript:
At the end of val() i put a return true if validation is OK. I put a alert there to ensure that's work fine.
The doStepOne code isn't fire after that.
If i take return true like your sample, the doStepOne is firing, but it ignores the val().
Same effect if I use OnClientClick="javascript:
Well, you still have "return false" fixed in your OnClientClick() handler. After your val() function, the next statement is called, which is in your case "return false". See my example, where I used "return true".
If you want the event to fire only when the functions returns true, you can use "return val()".
Your javascript function starts with "javascript:". This is not correct and can only be used in urls (as so-called pseudo url). Remove it.
Bottom line:
OnClientClick="return val();" OnClick="doStepOne"
or this to always call the server side onclick as well:
OnClientClick="val();

They work well together, but only if you "return true" in your javascript handler. If the javascript code raises an error or returns false, the OnClick will not be called. I.e., this works:
with this in the code behind and both get called (clientclick and click):
{
// do something here
}
