Hey Vivek,

This is not an error in the documentation. I think you have just
misunderstood what it says. What it means is that first it will call your
own client-side javascript function and then it will call a javascript
function generated by ASP.NET which will submit the form.

You can not make it work the other way around unless you want to use
RegisterClientSideScript or some other similar mechanism because of the way
HTTP works.

HTH, Jakob.
