popup dialog question

[sdlangers]

hi,

 

i have asp.net code on a button that pops up a dialog page.. like this..

 

 

Dim strScript As String = "<script language = javascript>window.open('popupConfirm.aspx','','width=500,height=125,top=300');</script>"

 

RegisterStartupScript("anything", strScript)

 

so when the button is clicked, the popupConfirm.aspx page is loaded.

 

what i want to do is have a button on that popup page, that when its clicked, the dialog page is closed AND parent page (i.e. the 1st calling page) is redirected to another page

 

how do you do this?

 

thanks!

look up window.showModalDialog in the sdk

[HJB417]

that's an ie only solution.

that's an ie only solution.

in the dialog, can't you do opener.navigateTo

Yes, Joe Mamma, but the point is the window.showModalDialog() method is only defined by Internet Explorer. Regardless, one can achieve the same thing using window.Open().

Yes' date=' Joe Mamma, but the point is the [i']window.showModalDialog()[/i] method is only defined by Internet Explorer. Regardless, one can achieve the same thing using window.Open().

no, I am saying in the window spawned by window.open() dont you have an opener object available to you?? cant you do opener.navigateTo in netscape, too???
