Answer 1

Regular Page

public void ErrorTrap(string str)
{
   Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert" + UniqueID, 
     "alert('" + str + "');", true);
}

Ajax Page

You need to use ScriptManager if you use ajax.

public void ErrorTrap(string str)
{
   ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "alert" + UniqueID, 
      "alert('" + str + "');", true);
}

Answer 2

alerts :

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert", "alerts('" + str + "');", true);

needs to be alert :

 Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert", "alert('" + str + "');", true);

Answer 3

Did you mean for the javascript to be "alerts("+ str + "');" and not "alert(" + str + "');" ?

Answer 4

alerts should be alert . if you are using ajax, better use ScriptManager.
