button click event not firing in asp.net

I am a humble student on a work placement, and I have inherited a 'semi-finished' app. It is written in C#(no experience at all) .NET(a little experience), using AJAX(no experience) and Jquery(little experience). I wrote a little method to grab text from a webpage and parse it into a text document. I want it to fire when the user pushes 'publish'.

The button won't fire. I have put a breakpoint in my 'btnPublish_Click' handler, and it doesn't even reach it.

I've registered the button click event (I read that you needed to do this in C#):

namespace MaintainTenderFiles.ajax
{
    public partial class publish : TendersPage
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
            {
                loadPendingTenders();
                preloadTender();
                btnPublish.Click += new EventHandler(this.btnPublish_Click);
            }
            else
            {
               //more code

Then coded the click event:

    public void btnPublish_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        String script = "alert('Clicked!!!');";
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.GetType(),
 "alertScript", script, true);
    }

All that happens when I click the button is it takes me to a page called 'published'.

Why can't I get the event to fire?

EDIT**

Apparently forgot to include the code for the button from the markup page:

 <asp:Button ID="btnPublish" OnClick="btnPublish_Click" 
  CssClass="ui-state-default ui-corner-all" runat="server" 
  Text="Publish" CausesValidation="False" UseSubmitBehavior="False" />

Move the button event register so it registers every load.

namespace MaintainTenderFiles.ajax
{
    public partial class publish : TendersPage
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            btnPublish.Click += new EventHandler(this.btnPublish_Click);
            if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
            {
                loadPendingTenders();
                preloadTender();

            }
            else
            {
