Once I upload a file. I would like to close the window and return a value back to the parent window. Using retval=window.showModalDialog I can open the upload window. My form tag for the upload window is
<form id="form1" enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server" method="post">. Once the upload is complete I want to return a value to the parent and close the upload winodw. I am calling this javascript function for that
function ClosePopUp(retVal){
window.returnValue=retVal;
window.close();
}
Window.close does not seem to be working. I think it is because of the enctype="multipart/form-data". Can anyone verify that? Does anyone know of a way around this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
 
>>enctype="multipart/form-data"

means that the form is going to upload files, thats it. it does not affect the way ur JS works. it could be a JS error. try debugging it by opening a normal popup...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
 
In the "code behind" page...
After you finished uploading the file do this...

Page.RegisterStartupScript("window.returnValue=" & sValue & "; window.close();")

sValue can be whatever value you want to return (no spaces).
You will need to remove the function from the aspx page.
