Using server code, you can add client script to a page. Creating client script in server code is useful when the contents of the client script depend on information that is not available until run time. Adding client script to the page dynamically is also useful when you want the client script to execute in the following situations:
- When the page has finished loading
- When users submit the page
To add client script to an ASP.NET Web page dynamically in the server code, call one of the methods listed in the following table.

Method

Description
|
|
RegisterClientScriptBlock
|
Adds a script block to the top of the page. You create the script as a string, and then pass it to the method, which adds it to the page. You can use this method to insert any script into the page. Note that the script might be rendered into the page before all the elements are finished; therefore, you might not be able to reference all the elements on the page from the script.
|
|
RegisterClientScriptInclude
|
Similar to the RegisterClientScriptBlock method, but adds a script block that references an external .js file. The include file is added before any other dynamically added script; therefore, you might not be able to reference some elements on the page.
|
|
RegisterStartupScript
|
Adds a script block into the page that executes when the page finishes loading but before the page's onload event is raised. The script is typically not created as an event handler or function; it generally includes only the statements you want to execute once.
|
|
RegisterOnSubmitStatement
|
Adds script that executes in response to the page's onsubmit event. The script is executed before the page is submitted, and gives you an opportunity to cancel the submission.
