Trying to redirect the parent page from popup
-
Hi, I have this popup page where i am doing this in the button click:
Response.Write("<script language='javascript'>function changeParent(){window.opener.document.getElementById('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtChange').value='Change';}window.close();</script>");In the parent form I have a hidden textbox set to autopostback=true and in the textchanged event handler, I am doing response.redirect(url). In the script above(in the popup), I am changing the value of the textbox located in the parent page. So, I was expecting it to work, but its not. Any idea? Thanks. -

Take a look at the parent's source and see what script the hidden field is invoking (in case it's not the default __doPostback). Add that code to your popup window script.

I've found this in the parent's source:
onchange="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtChange\',\'\')', 0)"But what would be the syntax to call this from the popup window script? Do I call it after changing the value? like:Response.Write("<script language='javascript'>function changeParent(){window.opener.document.getElementById('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtChange').value='Change'; __doPostBack(\'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtChange\',\'\')', 0); }window.close();</script>");Thanks. -

That should fire when your popup changes the field. You can force the postback in that function.
