Change onClick to OnClientClick

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.
