Running Javascript after a ASP.NET postback from a client script block injected from a master page

Question

I cannot get Javascript to run after a ASP.NET postback from a client script block injected from a master page

Below is my master page logic, and it gets hit on a postback, I have confirmed with a breakpoint.

namespace MyAwesomeProjectThatWillTakeOverTheWorldIfNotForThisIssue
{
    public partial class CommonContent : MasterPage
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(GetType(), 
            "script", 
            "alert('Success!');", 
            true);
        }
    }
}

The problem is the alert popup only appears on the first load but not on postback.

What am I not doing right?

If you are using ASP.NET AJAX, and have a script manager on the page, consider using ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript().

@Achilles, honestly, I'd be dead in the water without Intellisense, what with the subtle differences between method names and scope (static vs. instance) between ScriptManager and Page.ClientScript.

If this is an ajax triggered postback you need to use Scriptmanager.registerstartupscript

Try referencing the current child page and pass that into the scriptmanager.
