You're confusing client-side and server-side events. The popup() function is written in Javascript and runs on the client, but OnClick is a server-side event, so its handler runs on the server and has to be written in the language of your page (C#). popup() has no meaning in that context.

You can use the ClientClick event in order to handle the button click client-side. Note that you probably should return false from the handler in order to avoid a postback to the server:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
    OnClientClick ="popup(); return false;" />

OnClick - is click handler on server side. If you want to call javascript function, use OnClientClick.

You have to assign popup() to the event OnClientClick instead of Click like this:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick ="popup()"/>

The reasoning behind your problem is that when the run-time saw OnClick it tried to attatch that event with a C#/VB.Net (Code-Behind) method (which obviously does not exist) and we solved that by attaching the event OnClientClick to your Javascript method.
