[RESOLVED] Window.showModalDialog JS and doing a post back on the modal form.

**Wokawidget** · Sep 20th, 2005, 04:23 AM

If you pop a window up using Window.showModalDialog in JS then you cannot add code behind button clicks....

What happens it when the forms posts back to the server to do stuff it reopens a new instance of the form, and doesn't use the same one. So you end up with a modal instance of Login.aspx, and a normal, non modal, Login.aspx.

This is very strange, and a really kick in the teeth. Anyone got any ways of fixing this?

Would remoting be the only way?

Sorry, I fixed this a few hours after my post. Bad me for not posting an answer *SLAP*
That's for your reply.

This is how I did it:

Code:


	<HEAD>
		<TITLE>AddInternal</TITLE>
		<META content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1" name="GENERATOR">
		<META content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1" name="CODE_LANGUAGE">
		<META content="JavaScript" name="vs_defaultClientScript">
		<META content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" name="vs_targetSchema">
		<LINK href="/resource/css/aquserv.css" rel="stylesheet">
		<BASE target="_self">
	</HEAD>

I added the <Base Target="_self"> tag.
