Change this: 

onclick="rock()"

To:

onclientclick="rock()"

Depending on your code, you may need to set CausesPostback = false;

onclick links to a server method, you want onclientclick. If you had a simple HTML control which was not a server control, you can use onclick but it has a different meaning when it's an ASP.net control.

Fixed code:

<asp:button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclientclick="rock()" />
