If you are using .NET Framework 3.5 or up, you can use ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement() in your server-side code. The registered script will get called both on normal submit and on DoPostback.

ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this, this.GetType(), "myKey", "SomeClientSideFunction();");
