Search Window

[Jerry Camel]

I've got a web form that requires a list of user names. I'd like to have a
search form that allows a person to lookup a network user name by specifying
a first or last name. I can dot he code for the AD lookup, but how can I
pop-up a search window from the web form and have the results sent back to
the original page? Thanks.

The only way to create a popup window is to use client-side JavaScript. The
function is window.open() and you can add the script to the page using
Page.RegisterStartupScript() during a PostBack, so that the window opens
when the page comes back to the browser. You can find details on the
window.open() method at:

What about using DHTML dialogs? That seems to work just fine for poppoing
up the window. Now I just have to figure out how to get the returned value
into my code behind module... Any thoughts?

I've actually got the dialog working using some client side vbscript with a
call to window.ShowModalDialog.
The question is how do I get the result of this dialog into, say, a textbox
server control that's on the form.

I tried setting the Text property of the textbox to the result of the
dialog, but it just errors out claiming that an object is required.

Thoughts and ideas...?
