Click on sort link on a datagrid opens new window

[Raymond Lewallen]

I have a modal dialog displaying a datagrid control. Click on the column
header to sort the datagrid opens a new window with the following in the
location:

javascript:__doPostBack('dgDataGrid$_ctl1$_ctl1',' ')

instead of actually posting back to the modal dialog and sorting the
datagrid. ItemDataBound, ItemCommand events both work fine, only the
SortCommand is producing this unwanted behavior.

Looking for a cause and solution please.

Thank you,

Check that link does not have
target="something"

I can't see the source because it is in a modal dialog window, but I'm doing
nothing other than the normal. Keep in mind this works fine in a normal
window, just doesn't work in a modal window.

In code behind I have the following sub

Sub dgDataGridSortCommand(ByVal source As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEvent Args) Handles
dgDataGrid.SortCommand
viewstate.Add("sortfield", e.SortExpression)
If viewstate("sortdirection") Is Nothing Then
viewstate.Add("sortdirection", "ASC")
Else
If viewstate("sortdirection").ToString = "ASC" Then
viewstate("sortdirection") = "DESC"
ElseIf viewstate("sortdirection").ToString = "DESC" Then
viewstate("sortdirection") = "ASC"
End If

End If

GridBind(e.SortExpression)
dgDataGrid.SelectedIndex = -1
End Sub

Unfortunately never worked with modal windows.
Anyway your datagrid looks good.
Check the form tag maybe "target" slipped in there.
