I did the same. And it was working fine.You must be doing something wrong.

Actually, when you set the OnClientClick property, then this code will be executed first, then if postback occurs the validation will be fired.

In your case, On clicking of UpdateButton, it will show the confirmation box, if user clicks OK then validation will be fired because page will try for postback and if clicked Cancel, then nothing will happen and validation will also not be fired.

UpdateButton.OnClientClick = "return validateFun();"
// Call following function in client click event of Update Button
function validateFun() {
var rf=$get('<%= RequiredFieldValidator1.ClientID %>')

C#

;
                if (rf != null){
            ValidatorEnable(rf, true);
                    ValidatorValidate(rf);
                    if(rf.isvalid==true){
            var answer=window.confirm('Save the changes?');
            return answer;
                      }
                     else
                     return false;
            }
         else
         return false;
}

You may want to try

C#

CausesValidation="true"

on your button, UpdateButton.

Hi You need to use Page_ClientValidate() function to invoke the page validation.
The below links will give you a more information.
