why first click on link button doesn't work?

Question

I have this linkButton:

<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="SaveAllItems" class="saveAll"
                OnClientClick="saveToGroups();return false;"  
                OnClick="saveToAll_Click" 
                Text="Save Items"   />

My first click on this button doesnt work and I dont know why. I tried adding return false; to OnClick but nothing has changed.

saveToGroups- works in js
saveToAll_Click - works in cs

What am I missing here?

You're returning false to OnClientClick -- it prevents the postback.

Remove return false from your OnClientClick event, since it will not post your page back and prevent the button click being fired for the first time.

the OnClientClick - no need postback OnClick - need postback

You can use return false; in your javascript function.

Try using an alert() in your javascript - you can identify whether there's an issue with your function.
