closing a popup form

[SteveS]

Hello. This is a strange problem which does not make sense to me.

I open a popup page with the following javascript code:

function OpenDenyWindow( changeId) {
retVal=window.s howModalDialog( 'DenialEmailFor m.aspx?id=1234' ',
'dialogWidth:65 0px; dialogHeight:70 0px; resizable:no;') ;
//alert("Return val = " + retVal)
}
The screen opens fine. However, I can't get it to close after I the user
submits the form. I run this code in my click event:

Response.Write( "<script language='javas cript'>window.c lose();</script>")
OR
Page.RegisterSt artupScript("Au toClose", "<script language
=""javascript"" >window.close() ;</script" & ">")

Both of these statements do not work.

The problem gets more interesting. If I don't try to close the form, then a
duplicate popup form appears. Now, I have 2 popup forms!

Make sense?

This has me bewildered! Any ideas what is going on?

Thank you for your help!!

where is the form submitted ? if it is submitted to itself you are probably
seeing is close and then re-open again !

[SteveS]

The popup form is submitted to itself through this button:

<asp:Button ID="btnSend" Runat="server" Text="Send Denial"></asp:Button>

Then, the click event in the code-behind sends the javascript to the page:

Private Sub btnSend_Click(B yVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnSend.Click
...do stuff....
CloseWindow()
End Sub

Private Sub CloseWindow()
'Response.Write ("<script
language='javas cript'>window.c lose();</script>")
Page.RegisterSt artupScript("Au toClose", "<script language
=""javascript"" >window.parent. close();window. close();</script" & ">")
End Sub

So, do you think when a button is clicked on the popup form, it create
another browser window? How can I get around this?

Hi

To prevent a new page opening set the base target in the dialog
<base target="_self">
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ies/target.asp

Or use a iframe in the dialog and host the page there

After a postback success return a script to close the dialog
<script>window. close();</script>
