Button click event not called

Question

I want to disable a button, only using javascript.

I have one button on the form. I want to disable that button from javascript. When I try to do this, the button submit click event is not calling.

I used following code on javascript:

document.getElementById('<%=imgSubmit.ClientID%>').disabled = true; 

The button get disabled; but its button click event on server side is not being called.

When I remove this javascript then it is calling the server side click event. What is the issue with disabling the button from javascript??

Answer 1

Well if the button is disabled it is not going to fire the server side event. Try submitting the form from the client side.

document.getElementById('<%=imgSubmit.ClientID%>').disabled = true; 
Form1.submit();
