JS, showModalDialog problem.

I have the following JS:

Code:

---

function openSelectVisitor(iBookingKey)
{
        var sFeatures = ''
                               
        sFeatures=''
        sFeatures+='top=100,'
        sFeatures+='left=200,'
        sFeatures+='height=500px,'
        sFeatures+='width=400px,'
        sFeatures+='scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no'
        window.showModalDialog('SelectVisitor.aspx?BookingKey='+iBookingKey,'SelectVisitor',sFeatures)
}

---

This works fine, and my popup window is shown.

In this popup I have a close button, and in page load I do:

VB Code:

btnClose.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:window.close();")

Now when I click this close button the page does indeed close...but for some strange reason, another instance of this is opened, which is NOT a Modal Dialog, but instead a modeless popup...plus this time the address bar is visible.
I have put a break point on the Page_Load event of the popup, and sure enough, when I click the close button, the Page_Load event gets fired again.

I have absolutely no other code in the popup except the btnClose.Attributes bit.

If I change my main calling JS function so it shows the Popup and modeless:

Code:

---

window.Open('SelectVisitor.aspx?BookingKey='+iBookingKey,'SelectVisitor',sFeatures)

---

Then I do not have this problem and the popup closes fine when close.

Any ideas?

I think you need to change this:

Code:

---

btnClose.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:window.close();")

---

To this:

Code:

---

btnClose.Attributes.Add("onClick", "window.close();")

---

Got it:
The button was causing the popup to submit, to stop this I added Return False to the JS:

VB Code:

btnClose.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:window.close();return false;")

Yuo forgot to mention that it was a submit button. ;)

If it never submits then it is best to use a <button>Button Text</button> tage.
