Opening a popup window for data entry in .NET

[beacon dartmouth]

I have a page with labels, dropdown lists, and buttons, which needs to be always visible in the browser. When the user clicks a 'modify' button on this page, a web form with text boxes will open up in the form of a new popup window, so that changes can be made and submitted from this smaller popup window. Ideally, the main page should be re-loaded in the original browser window reflecting the latest udpates after the popup window is closed. I am passing variables to the popup and the code below doesn't quite behave as I wanted it to. As it is right now, I'm calling the appDetailEdit,aspx twice, but I don't know enough to write an inline javascript statement so that it opens up a popup window, passes the values I need to it, while keeping the main page in the original browser window, which will reload automatically when the form in the popup window is submitted. Thank you. :doh: CODE STARTS Sub bClick1( s As Object, e As EventArgs ) Context.Items.Add( "Application_ID", lblAppID.Text ) Context.Items.Add( "Name", lblName.Text ) Context.Items.Add( "Acronym", lblAcronym.Text ) Context.Items.Add( "Program_Area_Name", lblProgArea.Text ) Context.Items.Add( "Usage_start_Date", lblStartDate.Text ) Context.Items.Add( "Description", lblDesc.Text ) Context.Items.Add( "Field_Detail", lblFieldDet.Text ) Context.Items.Add( "DivisionName", lblDivisionID.Text ) Context.Items.Ad d( "BureauName", lblBureauID.Text ) Response.write("window.open('appDetailEdit.aspx','PopUp','location=no,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')<" & "/script>") server.transfer( "appDetailEdit.aspx", true ) End Sub CODE ENDS </x-turndown>
