Using jQuery to Prevent ASP.NET Server Side Events from Occuring

I recently was wiring up the ASP.NET Button control with jQuery and checking out the different events related to the same. I also wanted to see if it was possible to stop a server side event from occuring using jQuery.

For example: I have an ASP.NET button control which causes a postback when it is clicked. However what if you want to check a condition at ClientSide and then allow the postback to occur. Here's how to prevent a postback from occuring using jQuery.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">


<head runat="server">


    <title></title>


    <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


    <script type="text/javascript">


        $(document).ready(function() {


            $("#<%=Button1.ClientID %>").click(function() {


                // check a condition


                if ("a" == "b")


                    return true;


                else


                    return false;


            });


        });


    </script>


</head>


<body>


    <form id="form1" runat="server">


    <div>


        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Click Me"


            onclick="Button1_Click" />


    </div>


    </form>


</body>


</html>
