I am having trouble when I use wind 1

I am having trouble when I use window.showmodelessdialog. I call another window using show modeless dialog, and on this window I have a combo list. Whenever I select an item from the list another window opens with the same controls on it. Can anyone please help?????

Thanks
Lucy

Do you have some code we can see??

 

[lucyv]

<SCRIPT lang=&quot;javascript&quot;>

function openApplicationInformation(PageName){
var ret =
window.showModalDialog(PageName,null,&quot;dialogHeight:344px;dialogWidth:468px;help:0;resizable:1;scroll:0;status:0&quot;

return true;

}
</SCRIPT>
This is the in my html in my default form. In my ApplicationInformation page I have two buttons. One of them is Add and the other is cancel. My problem is that when the user is adding a new application I make sure that it isn't already in the database. If it is then I want to display an error message but when the form posts back to itself the page opens in anther window and the focus is set to the new window. Thank you for help!

Your script obviously looks fine... can we see where you are calling this code...

in particular the page load events....

 

[lucyv]

AddApplication.Attributes.Add(&quot;onClick&quot;, &quot;return openApplicationInformation('ApplicationInformation.aspx');&quot

Whenever the form loads an atrribute is added to the AddApplication command button. When the user clicks on AddApplication the openApplicationInfomation function is called and the ApplicationInformation page is opened. My problem is that when the ApplicationInformation posts back to itself antoher window ApplicationInformation window opens. Thanks for your help!

lucy... set SMARTNavigation on in this page...

 

[lucyv]

Thanks again for your help!!!

just add the SmartNavigation=true in your page directive at the top of your ASPX file.

Benefits:

eliminate any flash caused by navigation.
persist scroll position when moving from page to page.
persist element focus between navigations.

<%@ Page SmartNavigation=&quot;true&quot; %>

why it is useful in this situation is that it will fix the issue you are having with the postback because it will force your ApplicationInformation page to be render inside of an IFRAME and allow it postback properly. Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

ps... make sure you leave the other items in your page directive...

ie...
<%@ Page language=&quot;c#&quot; SmartNavigation=&quot;true&quot; Codebehind=&quot;ApplicationInformation.aspx.cs&quot; AutoEventWireup=&quot;false&quot; Inherits=&quot;ApplicationInformation&quot; %>

I had deleted the Iframe because it didn't solve my problem but now I am re-adding
<iframe src=&quot;AddApplication.aspx&quot; scrolling=yes></iframe>
to the AddApplication.aspx page and it is coming out blank. Is there something wrong. THanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

you don't need to add the IFRAME...
adding smartnavigation to your page directive will do this for you when it renders the page.
