Confirmation box using javascript and C# ASP.NET

Can someone help me get this confirmation box to work in javascript and c#? Right now its refreshing the page. I am putting it on my page load event. Also, can someon give me an example using this same code to instead of redirecting the user to another page to execute a function instead. Thanks!

string MessageToDisplay = "Do you want to exit?";
btnExit.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:if(!confirm('" + MessageToDisplay + "')) window.location='Search.aspx'");

btnExit.Attributes.Add("onClick", "if(!confirm('" + MessageToDisplay + "')) window.location='Search.aspx'; return false");

mplugjan, try this but it keeps refreshing the page...

I have my btnExit defined as:

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btnExit;

1. It should be

Add("onClick", "if(!confirm('" + MessageToDisplay + "')) { window.location='Search.aspx'; return false }");

Is btnExit a submit button?
If so, you need to return false on the onSubmit instead

Then I suggest whatever it takes to get the form to do

.....Add("onSubmit", "if(!confirm('" + MessageToDisplay + "')) { window.location='Search.aspx'; return false }");

Its not a submit button... i used your

Add("onClick", "if(!confirm('" + MessageToDisplay + "')) { window.location='Search.aspx'; return false }");

but its doing to opposite of what I expected.. cancel goes to the search page, OK says on the page.

ok, thanks... one other thing... instead of redirecting to another page, how do i call a c# function called AddCoverages in javascript?

basically want to accomplish this:

Add("onClick", "if(confirm('" + MessageToDisplay + "')) { call AddCoverages; return false }");

I have no idea unless it involves submitting the form

Here is a tutorial in how to postback from javascript
