general ASP.NET web programming

[David]

I am running into situtations where confining all forms to just one window
(instance of broswer) is becoming overly restrictive. Does ASP.NET provide
ways to have multiple windows to interact with each other (For example, use
a "child" window to fill out an order item. Once the save button is
pressed, the "main" window reflects the newly added item (automatically
refreshes from the database)

I know that the popup calendar control can do something similar, but I need
something more elaborate than a simple pop up calendar control to fill out a
date fields.

Another general question: Java script or VB script? I can require everyone
in the user community to use Explorer only, so cross platform issues aren't
important for me. Can VB script interact with server controls some how? I
don't have any experience in VB script....

It seems like my web applications have outgrown ASP.NET server controls, and
most of my customers prefer web forms over windows, which means the
importance of rich web controls is increasing. Thanks in advance.

Hi

You can use the Server.Execute method which begin executing a new Web form while still displaying the current Web form. The contents of both forms are combined. This method works only when navigating to a Web Forms page (.aspx)
