RegisterClientScriptBlock & RegisterStartupScript revisited

[Brian W]

Duh! As is often the case, I found the answer about the comment tags after I
hit send.

I would sill like to know about the difference in the 2 methods.


Thanks
Brian W

Hello Brian,

A control can place a startup script on a page via the
Page.RegisterStartupScript method. This script will be automatically
executed when the page is shown in the user's browser. You can also place
a script block that needs to be explicitly called by other script code on
the page using the Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock method.

The difference is that the latter goes in the top of the page and the
former goes at the bottom. This is important because inline script
generally needs to go at the bottom so that the page objects exist before
it executes. However, regular script must go at the top in case a control
is referrencing it.
