OnClientClick is the client side click event.

You need to use the OnClientClick method, OnClick is the server side event. e.g.

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="return confirm('are you sure');" />

This code produces a message box which if cancelled, prevents the server-side event from being fired. If you click 'OK' to the message box the server event is fired as usual and you can then do your redirect as necessary.

Hi, try changing it to the full address with the http bit i.e. Response.Redirect("http://www.yahoo.com");
