Hi,
I have a javascript, calendar.js which i use to enable my client to
select the date. This calendar pops up on the click of a gif image.
But the problem is that this poped up window is not modal in nature(i
do not want the user to go the parent page unless he selects some date
in the calendar popup).
In the javascript calendar.js he has used window.open() function to
pop up the window. i just want to know whether we have any attribute
which when set to yes will make the window behave modal in
nature.(just like resizable="yes" ,toolbar="yes", do we have
modal="yes" ?)
i checked modal="yes" and it does not make the window behave modal in
nature. Am i using the wrong attribute name?(modal="ye s").
Do we have such attribute. If not what are my other options.
I know that we can use window.showModa lDialog(), but i need to modify
the window.open() function to make the window behave modally. Is it
possible to do so?
regards

Sometimes.
But the problem is that this poped up window is not modal in nature(i do not want the user to go the parent page unless he selects some date in the calendar popup).
Even if the window was modal (including showModalDialog windows) it
would (and should) still be possible for the user to close it and return
to the parent without making a selection.

No, the new browser instance that is one of the possible results of a
call to the window.open function is a separate process and is not modal
in nature and there are no window features list options that will make
it so. "dependent" (where implemented) comes closest with some browsers
but is so inconsistently implemented that it is probably best just to
leave that alone.
i checked modal="yes" and it does not make the window behave modal in nature. Am i using the wrong attribute name?(modal="ye s").
You can make up as may feature keys as you like, if they don't appear in
the documentation they are unlikely to do anything but harm.
Do we have such attribute.
No.
If not what are my other options.
1.Attempt to script the new window into a (pseudo) modal window by
monitoring the blur and focus events on all elements in each window so
that re-focusing the original window (or any of its contents) results in
the focus being passed back to the new window. This may sound like a
simple option but in reality is quite tricky to do well and has been
done badly in the past with sufficient frequency that recent browsers
are including user options to prevent scripts from actively focusing
window, so ultimately it can no longer be done reliably anyway. (not
that opening pop-up window can be done reliably anyway).
2.Re-design the process until the perceived need for the window to be
modal goes away (so it will not matter that it cannot reliably be made
so).
3.Navigate the current window to the calendar page, thus making
simultaneous interaction with the first page impossible.
4.Use an "in window pop-up" (DHTML) for the calendar instead of the new
window.
I know that we can use window.showModa lDialog(),
It is an IE only feature so it would be inappropriate to use it on the
internet, at least without writing such a lot of fall-back code for
non-IE browsers that it would be easier to just use the
non-showModalDialog code for all browsers.
but i need to modify the window.open() function to make the window behave modally. Is it possible to do so?
If you put enough effort into the blur/focus script and think through,
and test, all of the possibilities then maybe. I would go with the "in
window pop-up" for that type of UI component if I wanted the modal
dialog effect, and navigating the current window if I wanted absolute
reliability.

Hi,
I'm having a problem opening / downloading csv files when called from a page
opened with window.showModalDialog( ).
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.showModalDialog( )
2. modal.htm provides a link to the aspx which generates the csv

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
