I can't answer your specific question, but I would put it all in a panel and
make it invisible unless you call the model popup. That way it wont load in
the page, and the buttons on the panel will close the model popup.

Okay, here's the situation: we want to be able to display ASPX pages
in an UpdatePanel. The reasons for this are performance related. The
site in development uses *lots* of modal popups from some pages, and
we don't want to load all that content until it's requested.
So, what we want to do is place an IFRAME inside an UpdatePanel and,
in the onclick event for the linkbutton or button control, set the SRC
so that the content is loaded on demand. So far, so good.
What I can't seem to figure out, at this point, is how you would go
about closing the modal popup once it's displayed. In theory, the
heirarchy looks like this:
Page
* Button/LinkButton
* ModalPopupExtender
* UpdatePanel
* * *IFrame
* * * * Page
* * * * * *OK/Cancel button
I'm relatively new to this Ajax business, but I've manged to figure
out how to get the page to load display in the IFrame when I want it
to, and that's all spiffy. Now I just need to know how to get it to
close in response to the user's actions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

On these three pages we're developing, each page displays up to eight
modal dialog boxes of varying complexity. Several of these dialog
boxes include data repeaters with *lots* of data. We don't want those
pages loading until the user asks for them.
(Don't ask me why these are being displayed in modal dialog boxes.
Let's just say the creative department was smoking some really good
stuff, and no one from the software engineering department was
involved at the time to restrain their "Gee Whiz" impulses.)
So, embedding eight different dialog boxes on a single page with data
repeaters and all their data is impractical on a *very* high traffic
web site. I need to load this stuff dynamically. Further, some of
these pages have unique styling requirements, and I don't want to load
the style sheets for all those dialog boxes and further bloat the
request size. If I can just load the page when it's asked for and it's
size (and script) requirements, that's optimal.
Thanks,
Mike
