Solution 1

If your button #btnInsert is an Asp.Net button control, select the button in the designer and look at the properties

Make sure UseSubmitBehavior is set to False

Alternatively, you can just use a 'standard' html button here if you just want to execute client script.

Solution 2

You need to use event.preventDefault
Look here: jQuery knowledgebase: event.preventDefault()[^]
