Hello I've been trying to call a code behind C# function, that is a Button click() from a link href. I've tried several solutions, even created a javascript function that called the button click function, and in the href I call the javascript function but still so far haven't found any solution. Nothing is happening in the page so before I can actually call the code behind function, here's my deal:

ASP Page:

javascript:

C#

function click() 
{
   alert("HEY");

}

HREF:
<a href="#" class="button" onclick="javascript:click();"><span>Cards</span</a>

or

<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="button" onclick="click()"><span>Cards</span</a>

Does anyone as any solution either to call a code behind function from a href, or to just call a javascript function from href?

thank you

Moved from answer:
The javascript dopostback actually made me advance a little more. I follow the example in this page:
http://wiki.asp.net/page.aspx/1082/dopostback-function/[^]
The page is doing the postback but is not entering the codebehind function.
Still need help!

C#

//If you are databinding then
<a href="<%# GetURL(Eval("VideoCategoryID")) %>">

//If not

<a href='<%= GetURL(Eval("VideoCategoryID")) %>'>

//method from codebehind
protected string GetURL()
        {
            string path = "codeproject.com";
            return path;

Hello,

You can call a javascript function from href. Use the following code:

Javascript:

C#

function Hello() {
    alert("Yor code goes here....");
}

HTML:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:Hello();"><span>HELLO....</span></a>

For calling code behind function, please refer the following link:
