Hi,
I'm having a problem opening / downloading csv files when called from a page
opened with window.showModa lDialog( ).
To isolate this problem, I've written 3 files (see below).
1. main.htm allows the user to open the page containing the link in a
regular window or one opened via window.showModa lDialog( )
2. modal.htm provides a link to the aspx which generates the csv
3. csv.aspx generates a csv file
When I open modal.htm with window.showModa lDialog( ), clicking the link does
nothing.
When opened in a normal window, clicking the link opens / downloads the
generated csv.
Does anybody know away around this?
I would like to keep the modal window.
Thanks in advance,
John
