On loading the delete button enable property set to false. but when i click on the delete button it shows the delete confirm box. what i do for avoiding this Magic ?

Answer 1

Has you can see at this page, Enable = False is what you want talking about ASP.NET

Your problem is that you have onClientClick code to show confirm box, and this is Javascript, so is client Code....

use this...

myButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.disabled=true;"); 

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you mean by "enable property." To disable a button you use the 'disabled' property: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_disabled.asp - I was unable to reproduce your issue when I added the 'disabled' attribute.

Answer 3

lnkBtn.enabled=true; 

would only work Server-side as JS and HTML don't have a "enabled" property but .net does?

lnkBtn.disabled = false;

Is the client side version, this would work with JS and HTML only.

Answer 4

A simpler approach would be to just set the "visible' property of this button to false until you actually need it.
