Run a Javascript function before postback

On my ASPX page, there is a button with this code:

OnClick="save_Click"

Is it possible to execute Javascript before postback and if the result is true, then do the postback and go to method save_click?

I changed the definition of the __doPostback function to accomplish this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var originalDoPostback = __doPostBack;
    __doPostBack = function (p1, p2) {
        doSomethingCustomHere();
        originalDoPostback(p1, p2);
    };
</script>

There is a property called "OnClientClick" as well. Here you can specify a function that will validate (I'm guessing), or just run regular javascript.

If your data is not valid you can just return false; from the method. That should cancel your postback

you should use the very well known way: return confirm('bla bla bla')

adding this snippet to the onclick attribute of the button in the page or button prerender method, server side...
