What kind of menu are you using? May be you can achieve this by confirming on client side first & raising server side event on YES. — yogi, Jul 19 '13 at 11:19

Use ClientScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock

As far as i know you can't do that.You can run javascript code before page load or after the server side code has been executed.You can't make javascript work in between c# code execution and then return back to c#.

This is not possible with ASP.NET Menu Control to register a javascript method on click events.

I hope i understood your problem right! You want a Confirm box on one of the Menu Items which needs to be displayed on the Client Side(Browser) without a postback.

This can only be achieved by playing around with the DOM using jQuery after the document gets rendered.

jQuery Code:

$(document).ready(function () {
        $('#MainContent_mTest a').each(function () {
            var anchorHtml = $(this).html();
            if (anchorHtml == 'logout') {
                var clickEvent = this.onclick;
                this.onclick = "";
                $(this).bind('click', function (ev) {
                    if (confirm("Are you sure !")) {
                        clickEvent();
                    }
                    else {
                        return false;
                    }
                });
            }
        });

I hope this solves your problem...
