Scripted Window Restriction?

Hi there:

I'm a developer, and one of my clients operates a small Web site that with a
simple contact form, written in ASP.NET, that posts back to itself and saves
data to a database. The site actually consists of only one page displaying
product information, with a link to complete the contact form, which pops up
in a Javascript-controlled window.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, the database received a steady stream of
submissions, but lately the traffic has completely dropped off. When I
visited the site this morning to make sure everything was still working
properly, I noticed a couple of things:

- The popup's title bar now contained a URL (which I see in this popup, as I
type, as well), and

- The form no longer submitted, despite that all ASP.NET validation tests
had successfully passed. That is, whereas the form had been submitting
properly for months on end, suddently, on clicking Submit, nothing happened
anymore.

Note that the window does open successfully (using a simple window.open()
function), and the loaded page's embedded Javascript properly centers the
popup window on the page. It's only when the user clicks Submit (which
triggers no other Javascript event, other than the standard ASP.NET control
validation -- which, again, passes) that the trouble starts.

Further testing revealed the following:

- Problem is not repeatable on machines *not* running XP Service Pack 2
- Problem is not repeatable using Mozilla on machiens running Service Pack 2

I'm thinking this probably has something to do with XP Service Pack 2's
"Scripted Window Restrictions," but I can't seem to find information on
exactly what kinds of scripting isn't allowed, and whether I'm doing
something no longer allowed. What could be happening here? What would cause
a validated ASP.NET form in a Japascript popup window to simply stop
submitting?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I'm not quite sure if the problem I'm having is a restriction of showModalDialog or if there is a way around it. The web app I am working requires the user to select a record from a list. I pop this list (generated by a second page) in a second window. When the user selects a record on the datagrid, I close the second window and submit the calling page. If I try to use showModalDialog, the dialog pops up just fine and everything is...

I have created an order form that users javascript to create a new html document when the customers clicks the "print page" button.

I have a common assembly installed into the GAC and is referenced by most of my ASP.NET projects.

I think I am asking the right newsgroup. If not maybe someone could tell me where to ask this "beginner" question.

In XML Schema, is it possible to derive a complex type via restriction and have the new derived type be in a different namespace than the original base type? I've banged on this for 2 days now and I'm starting to think the answer is no. I've searched this group and have not seen anything discussing this. the base type. All values of the restricted type are also valid according to the base type".
