Invoke Javascript method from code-behind based on a condition.

This is my javascript method in .aspx file. I want to invoke this method from code-behind based on a certain condition:

function confirmboxAndHideMessage() {
    //HideMessage();
    var response = confirm("are you sure?.");
    if (response == true) {
        document.getElementById("<%=chkValidated.ClientID%>").checked = true;
        HideMessage();
    }
    else {
        HideMessage();
        return true;
    }
}

The condition upon which I want to invoke is something like this:

        if (obj.fkValidationStatusId.HasValue && obj.fkValidationStatusId.Value.Equals(1))
        {
            btnProceedAddNewRecords.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "javascript:return confirmboxAndHideMessage();");  
        }
        else
        {
            btnProceedAddNewRecords.Attributes.Remove("OnClick");
        }

This condition is being exercised in a method which is called in PageLoad event inside 

if (!IsPostBack) { /* condition */ }

It is not working and my guess is that the way i am adding the method in button attribute is wrong. My request is that, kindly suggest a way I can invoke this javascript method from my code-behind based on the stated condition. If you think that my approach is flawed, Please do suggest Alternatives. Thanks.

You should return true or false from the function. You probably want to return true for a positive response:

function confirmboxAndHideMessage() {
  var response = confirm("are you sure?.");
  if (response == true) {
    document.getElementById("<%=chkValidated.ClientID%>").checked = true;
    HideMessage();
    return true;
  } else {
    HideMessage();
    return false;
  }
}

Use lowercase for the event name (as XHTML is picky about that), and remove javascript: from the code:

btnProceedAddNewRecords.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirmboxAndHideMessage();");

Put the code that sets the attribute outside the check for IsPostBack, otherwise it will not be updated when the condition changes.

use to set/unset OnClientClick 

if (obj.fkValidationStatusId.HasValue && obj.fkValidationStatusId.Value.Equals(1))
  {
     btnProceedAddNewRecords.OnClientClick="return confirmboxAndHideMessage();";  
  }
else
  {
     btnProceedAddNewRecords.OnClientClick="retun false;";
  }

Just add the following code where the condition is like

 public void test()
{
    String name = "test";
    if (name == "test")
    {
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "hdrEmpty", "if(confirm('are you sure you want to continue?')==true){ Testfunction(); };", true); return;
    }
}

I am sure it will work for you.
