Answer 1

Return false in OnClientClick i.e. -

OnClientClick="(document.getElementById('hdnSortOrder')).value='views'; return false;"

Be aware that this means post back will never occur on that button.

Answer 2

If you return false from your client click function then postback will not happen.

like

 <asp:button runat="server" id="btn" OnClientClick="return myFunc();"/>

and script block is

 <script>

 function myFunc()

   {

    return false;

     }

         </script>

Answer 3

Just use this:

 <asp:button runat="server" id="btn" OnClientClick="myFunc(); return false;"/>

and then:

<script>

 function myFunc(){

    //Do your javascript code here

  }

</script>

Answer 4

if you want to avoid postback from button control just simply return false from you function.

<asp:button runat="server" id="btnTest" OnClientClick="anyFunction() return false;"/>
