How to pop up a web form as a modal dialog box??

[kvPriya]

Hi, I've two webforms. When a condition is satisfied, I need to pop up a webform as a modal dialog box where the user can enter some text.After submitting this child form, the user had to be redirected to some other webform. Inorder to catch the text,I've used a session variable. What I've worked is...... In html page, I've written function giveReason(w,h) { wleft = (screen.width-w) / 2; wtop = (screen.height-h) / 2; imgwindow1=window.open("HiReason.aspx","imgwindow1","width="+w+",height="+h+",left="+wleft+",top="+wtop+"status:Yes;"); imgwindow1.focus(); } And I've called the above script function in codebehind page as... jstr = " giveReason(500,170);" Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("reasonKey", jstr) After that... In child form, Dim strjscript As String = "" strjscript = "" strjscript &= "window.opener.Home.Text1.focus();" strjscript &= "window.close();" strjscript = strjscript & "</script" & ">" RegisterClientScriptBlock("close", strjscript) Home is some other webbform's id. While running this,I'm getting the error.... "imgwindow1 is null or not an object. poop up window is blocked" Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.... -Priya </x-turndown>

Instead use this var winSettings = "dialogWidth:350px;dialogHeight:300px; help: no; status: no"; var qs = "../Calender/Calender.aspx"; var values = window.showModalDialog(qs,'cal',winSettings); Where values will have all the return values from child form. In Child Form: var MyArgs = new Array(); MyArgs[0] = value1; MyArgs[1] = value2; window.returnValue = MyArgs; window.close(); I hope this will help u.If not let me know.

showModal is IE specific. Netscape needs workarounds using blurring and focussing techniques and tricks. Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage namespace LavanyaDeepak
