Closing a window using a ASP:ImageButton

[thechaosengine]

Hi all,

I need to be able to cause the following chain of events after clicking an
asp:button but I don't know how to do it. I'd really appreciate any advice
on this or alternative approaches:

The window in question is a popup asking the user to provide some details.
The primary window is still open in the background

1. Button on popup clicked
2. Information on form saved to database
3. Popup closes
4. Primary window refreshes or is redirected

I really hope someone can advise on how to achieve this

Thanks all

You'd have to out put some javascript to your page after its postback.
Use the Page.RegisterSt artupScript method.

popup codebehind:

void button_onclick( ...)
{
// add code to save data to DB

yourjavascript = "<script language='javas cript'>";
yourjavascript += "self.parent.lo cation = self.parent.loc ation.href;
// this will refresh your parent window.";
yourjavascript += "self.close (); // close popup";
yourjavascript += "</script>"
Page.RegisterSt artupScript( yourJavascript) :
}

In the image click event, after saving the information, do something like:

dim script as string = "<script language=""java script"">" &
System.Environm ent.NewLine & "self.close ();" & System.Environm ent.NewLine &
"</script>"
Page.RegisterSt artupScript("Po pupClose", script)

oppss..I forgot the parent refresh in mind :) well, now you have the c# and
vb.net version...just add mort's self.parent.loc ation... to my script
variable if you need it in vb.net

On the flip side, RegisterStartup Script always takes 2 parameters...th e
first being the key...
