JAVASCRIPT DIALOG BOX COMMAND IS NOT PERFORMING ANYTHING "visible".

Good day All,
I've been trying to get a dialog box to be displayed using JavaScript.
However, the highlighted piece of code (as shown in the code below) does not do anything 'VISIBLE' that I can see.

C#

}
        else
        {
            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "alertmessage", "javascript:alert('You cannot access this page yet. Please Log in or Register')", true);
            Response.BufferOutput = true;
            Response.Redirect("Account/Login.aspx", true);
        }
    }

I needed a dialog box to be presented to the user before the redirection to another webpage. However, the user is redirected to the webpage without the dialog box popping up.

Please how do I resolve this or is there a simple (beginner's level) resource or site that could push me in the right direction?

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Looking forward to your replies.

C#

else
{
    Response.Write("alert('You cannot access this page yet. Please Log in or Register');");
    Response.BufferOutput = true;
    Response.Redirect("Account/Login.aspx", true);
}

Try this, if it works :)

Thanks KR but that fix did not work. Still behaved the same way.

That won't work because all of that happens on the server side and so the Response.Write gets lost when you do a Redirect.

The reason you don't see the popup is because you redirected to another page.

So, there are a couple of workarounds I can think of.

1. Redirect to the other page and add a flag in the query string that the new page checks for and then displays the messagebox.
2. Display the messagebox and then redirect to the other page in JavaScript, not in C#.

Thanks RyanDev for your response, could you instruct me on how to implement you second workaround?

Just google it. In JS you can do window.location ="newurl.aspx" to send to a new page.
