You can t call a Javascript function from the CodeBehind  because the CodeBehind file contains the code that executes server side on the web server  Javascript code executes in the web browser on the client side

C  to JavaScript  you can register script block to run on page like following   ClientScript RegisterStartupScript GetType    hwa   alert  Hello World     true     replace alert   part with your function name   For calling C  method from JavaScript you can use ScriptManager or jQuery  I personally use jQuery  You need to decorate the method that you want to call from JavaScript with WebMethod attribute  For more information regarding calling C  method  called PageMethod  from jQuery you can refer to Dave Ward s post

IIRC Code Behind is compiled serverside and javascript is interpreted client side  This means there is no direct link between the two   What you can do on the other hand is have the client and server communicate through a nifty tool called AJAX  http   en wikipedia org wiki Asynchronous JavaScript and XML

I used ScriptManager in Code Behind and it worked fine   ScriptManager RegisterStartupScript UpdatePanel1  UpdatePanel1 GetType     CallMyFunction    confirm     true     If you are using UpdatePanel in ASP Frontend  Then  enter UpdatePanel name and  function name  defined with script tags

You cannot  Codebehind is running on the server while JavaScript is running on the client   However  you can add  lt script type  text javascript  gt someFunction    lt  script gt  to your output and thus cause the JS function to be called when the browser is parsing your markup

Since I couldn t find a solution that was code behind  which includes trying the ClientScript and ScriptManager like mutanic and Orlando Herrera said in this question  they both somehow failed   I ll offer a front-end solution that utilizes button clicks to others if they re in the same position as me  This worked for me   HTML Markup    lt asp button ID  myButton  runat  server  Text  Submit  OnClientClick  return myFunction     gt  lt  asp button gt    JavaScript   function myFunction            Your JavaScript code     return false      I am simply using an ASP NET button which utilizes the OnClientClick property  which fires client-side scripting functions  that being JavaScript  The key things to note here are the uses of the return keyword in the function call and in the function itself  I ve read docs that don t use return but still get the button click to work - somehow it didn t work for me  The return false  statement in the function specifies a postback should NOT happen  You could also use that statement in the OnClientClick property  OnClientClick  myFunction   return false

Another thing you could do is to create a session variable that gets set in the code behind and then check the state of that variable and then run your javascript  The good thing is this will allow you to run your script right where you want to instead of having to figure out if you want it to run in the DOM or globally    Something like this  Code behind   Session  newuser      false     In javascript  var newuser     lt   Session  newuser    gt     if  newuser     yes        startTutorial

You can not do this directly  In standard WebForms JavaScript is interpreted by browser and C  by server  What you can do to call a method from server using JavaScript is    Use WebMethod as attribute in target methods   Add ScriptManager setting EnablePageMethods as true  Add JavaScript code to call the methods through the object PageMethods    Like this   Step 1  public partial class Products   System Web UI Page          System Web Services WebMethod          System Web Script Services ScriptMethod         public static List lt Product gt  GetProducts int cateogryID                    Put your logic here to get the Product list          Step 2  Adding a ScriptManager on the Page   lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManager1  runat  server  EnablePageMethods  true    gt    Step 3  Calling the method using JavaScript  function GetProductsByCategoryID categoryID        PageMethods GetProducts categoryID  OnGetProductsComplete       Take a look at this link   To call a JavaScript function from server you can use RegisterStartupScript   ClientScript RegisterStartupScript GetType    id   callMyJSFunction    true

You can expose C  methods on codebehind pages to be callable via JavaScript by using the ScriptMethod attribute   You cannot call JavaScript from a CodeBehind - that code exists solely on the client

I ve been noticing a lot of the answers here are using ScriptManager RegisterStartupScript and if you are going to do that  that isn t the right way to do it   The right way is to use ScriptManager RegisterScriptBlock  my list of args here     The reason being is you should only be using RegisterStartupScript when your page loads  hence the name RegisterStartupScript    In VB NET   ScriptManager RegisterClientScriptBlock Page  GetType String    myScriptName    key    myFunctionName  someJavascriptObject     True    in C     ScriptManager RegisterClientScriptBlock Page  typeof string    myScriptName    key    myFunctionName  someJavascriptObject     true     Of course  I hope it goes without saying that you need to replace key with your key identifier and should probably move all of this into a sub function method and pass in key and someJavascriptObject  if your javascript method requires that your arg is a javascript object    MSDN docs   https   msdn microsoft com en-us library bb338357 v vs 110  aspx
