Hi Mark,
i had the same problem as you and I found a little workaround...
just add a normal <asp:Button id=someButton runat=server></asp:Button>
in code behind
on the page load add this line
this.someButton.Attributes.Add("onClick",
"window.open('popupwindow.aspx','WindowName','tool bar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar= 0,resizable=1,width=640,height=425');");
now the flow that happens is ..
1) the popup window is openened ...
2) the code behind for the first page is triggered
you can add <body onload="window.focus()"> to the body onload event of
your popup but the first page will be on top even with this code.
a workaround for this is to add this piece of javascript
<body onload="window.focus()" onblur="blurEvent()">
<script language="javascript">
var count = 0;
function blurEvent()
{
if(count == 0)
self.focus();
count = count + 1;
}
</script>
downside :
if the postback triggered stuff thats write to session or database ..
it will not be accessible on the first pageload of your popup page.
but you could adapt the blurEvent() function so it postsback the first
real load ... (count == 1)
Is it a nifty or nasty workaround ... i'll leave that up to you, but
it did help me out :)
Greets,
Tom
