mayb eI'm missing something. I still don't see where to trigger this. If what
you say is true then it must be triggered on the parent page. The pop-up is
closed by the user thus returning to that page. I don't know where that
trigger would be since I open the pop-up using:
btnxyz.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.showModalDialog('../page.aspx',
'Dialog Arguments Value','dialogWidth: 490px; help:0; resizable:no;
center:yes; edge:sunken; status:no')")
also, if you reload on a new form (in my app) you are clearly the options
and field info.
so I'm wondering if there is a way to re-bind the dropdown each time the
dropdown is clicked/touched, thus showing the new option? Or something like
that. I can't do a post back in 1.1 since it will submit the form and I don't
want to do that yet. What I'm trying to do is common in windows forms.
thanx.
