I am trying to figure out how to call a Javascript function when a user clicks an ASP.NET button.

I have a GMaps.js file that I wrote which contains a bunch of functions related to the Google Maps API. In my ASP.NET page, I have a link to that file, a body attribute that loads the initialize function in my Javascript file, and a divider with the id of canvas to contain the actual map object.

Here is where I get stuck. I have a Javascript function called getDirections. This contains two strings plus a call to gDirections (Google Maps API). I have a text box and button in my ASP.NET page like this:

<asp:TextBox ID="addressinput" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="gobutton" runat="server" Text="Go!" />

What I am looking for is a way to have the onclick attribute of my button to be tied to a Javascript function in my external Javascript file. I also need a way to allow a variable in my Javascript to be assigned the value of addressinput.Text (the textbox listed above). Is there any possible way to do this?

You would use the OnClientClick Property of your .Net server control, in this case your button

<asp:Button ID="gobutton" runat="server" Text="Go!" OnClientClick="CallYourJSFunctions" />
