asp.net generating onclick event automatically for button

Question

ASP.NET seems to be generating its own onclick event for any buttons that are generated.

Looks like this

javascript:__doPostBack(

This is preventing jQuery from working correctly.

Does anyone know how to stop asp.net engine from doing this?

Many thanks

Answer 1

You just need to add a return false to your jquery code that handles the button.

$("myaspbutton").click(function(e){
 //your code
 return false;****
});

Answer 2

<asp:Buttton runat="server" ID="myButton" Text="MyButton" OnClientClick="alert('hi');" />

Update:
you can bind the click event dynamically:

$('#<%=myButton.ClientID%>').click(function(e) {
//your code here
e.preventDefault();
});

• Razor: That doesn't work either. I've even tried e.defaultValue = false
