Data Grid ASP.net 1.1 and JavaScript
 
 
Beginning
 
Some good code tutorials instruct you to enable javascript confirmation dialog box in asp.net 1.1 . But there is nothing to show you how to do it if your link is in a datagrid. Here in this article we see this gap. Let m_dg1 be the datagrid that will contain a list of linkbutton (lkDelete2) in our case used to delete a specific row of data in your table. Insert the following column in your Datagrid. And it is good resulting. 
 
Column
 
<asp:datagrid id="m_dg1" style="Z-INDEX: 111; LEFT: 208px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 224px"
                runat="server" >
                <Columns>
 
                    <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Delete Referral 1">
                        
                            <asp:LinkButton ID="lkDelete2" Runat="server" CommandName="Delete2" OnClient="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete ?');">
                        Delete
                    </asp:LinkButton>
                        
                    </asp:TemplateColumn>
                </Columns>
            </asp:datagrid>
 
 
Later, continue to add an ItemCreated Event handler for that datagrid. For the sake of our exercise we will call this hander OnItemCreate If you don't know how to add an event handler for your datagrid Do the following: - Select your DataGrid in Design mode ( Not HTML) - In the Property window click on the event Button ( the Lightening buttonn Yellow on top ). - Type the name of the function that you want to handle any specific event ( in our case the event is ItemCreated and the function name is OnItemCreate. - Hit Enter. Now in the code behind fill in the OnItemCreate function with the following code. 
 
Code
 
 
        private void OnItemCreate(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            Control clb = (Control)e.Item.FindControl("lkDelete2");
            if(clb!=null && clb.GetType() != typeof(LinkButton))
                return;
            LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)clb;
            if(lb != null)
            {
                lb.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete ?');");
            }
        }
 
Conclusion
 
When the Control is rendered during the Databind an ItemCreated event is fired for each row. When ever that happens fetch for the control name when it is found. Also add the appropriate javascript to it. The bothersome fact is Y wont VS let me directly add it in the ASP code. This issue if fixed in asp.net 2.0. Hope, it is helpful. All the best!
