Javascript popup questions...

[Nicholas Then]

I have a usercontrol that contains a datagrid. This grid
lists information from my database. No big deal...this
works fine, and when the user selects an item I have a
popup window appear with the data that the user can
edit. Now when they click submit on the popup window to
save their changes, can I get the datagrid in the
usercontrol on the parent page to reload. I have been
trying to do this for about a year not and I have never
had any luck. If anyone could help me do this I would
greatly appreciate it.

Use window.opener on the popup window to access the parent
window. So call window.opener.MyFunction() to call a
javascript function in the parent.

In the function, you can cause a refresh in many ways,
from:
1) using javascript to redirect back to the page again,
but this will not preserve viewstate, right?
2) so you can also accomplish the same thing by calling a
postback:

Also take a look at this. Basically a tutorial for what
you are trying to do:

PS: What would really be cool is if something would create
a custom control to do all this stuff...

Well if this works, I may think about it in my spare time...

In the old world you can send stuff to and from a window. Something like
closewithreturn, check that on the parent and refresh. Now in .net I thought
all that javascript stuff was supposed to be taboo!
