Trigger postback on client click even when returning false in Internet Explorer 7

I have an ASP:Button on my website:

OnClientClick="return CheckTerms();" CssClass="submit" OnClick="BtnRegister_OnClick" />

When the OnClientClick event is triggered, I run a JavaScript function to perform some checks. Depending on the result of these checks, I want to decide whether to proceed with the postback or not.

Interestingly, this setup works well on all browsers except for Internet Explorer 7, where the postback still occurs even when false is returned from OnClientClick.

Can anyone provide any suggestions or hints to help with this issue?

I appreciate any assistance you can offer. Thank you!

To clarify further, here is the code snippet that is causing trouble:

function CheckTerms() { return false; }

This is how the buttons are rendered in different browsers:

Internet Explorer

Chrome:

<input type="submit" name="ctl00$plhMain$Register$btnRegister" value="??????????????????" onclick="return CheckTerms();" id="ctl00_plhMain_Register_btnRegister" class="submit">

Please note that I am using PIE.htc on my inputs, but not on the button itself.

Any ideas on what could be causing this issue? jQuery16100078065287469022415

Answer №1

It appears that the issue may lie in IE7 where errors are not properly handled and do not prevent postback. It is likely that a method used is unsupported or behaving differently than expected in IE7. Without seeing the specific javascript function and markup, it's hard to determine the exact cause of the problem.
