Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the RegisterStartupScript method in conjunction with the IsStartupScriptRegistered method. If the ECMAScript written in the code declaration block has not already been registered, as determined by the IsStartupScriptRegistered method, then a RegisterStartupScript call is made.

Remarks

Similar to the RegisterClientScriptBlock method, the RegisterStartupScript method emits the script just before the closing tag of the Page object's <form runat= server> element. Be sure to include opening and closing <script> elements around the script block string specified in the script parameter.

Because this method uses a key to identify the script block, the script block does not have to be emitted to the output stream each time it is requested by a different server control instance

Any script blocks with the same key parameter values are considered duplicates.

Note

Remember to include HTML comment tags around your script so that it will not be rendered if the requesting browser does not support scripts.

The RegisterStartupScript method has been deprecated. Use the RegisterStartupScript method in the ClientScriptManager class instead.
