<div style="height: 86px; width: 689px; margin-left: 16px; margin-top: 0px">

<table style="width: 96%;">

<tr>

<td class="auto-style1">

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>

</td>

<td>

<asp:[TextBox](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12714/dynamic-textbox-in-gridview) runat="server" id ="startvalue"></asp:TextBox>

<tr>

<td class="auto-style1">&nbsp;</td>

<td>

<input id="Button1" type="button" value="GetDirections" onclick="return Button1_onclick()" />

</table>

I want to call Button1_onclick() function but it doesn't work. This code has no [problem](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81399/tackling-the-problem-of-unemployment-during-corona-pandemic). The problem is calling function is wrong. So please, could you tell me how can I do it.

Have you tried removing the return from the function call? This code fires the event.

```
<asp:Content ID="ContentMain" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentBody" runat="server">        <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">        function
Button1_Click() {           
alert('foo');        }    </script><input type="button" id="Button1" onclick="Button1_Click()" value="GetDirections" />
```
