Display data in a pop up

[Stephen Noronha]

Hi all,

I have a question, I have a restricted page (lots of data) and it really
causes problems if i display all data, so I want to use a pop up to display
the rest of the data, if i use a hyperlink like this
e.g:
<asp:Hyperlink Runat="server" NavigateUrl="http://google.com/"
onclick="window.open (this.href, 'popupwindow',
'width=400,height=300,scrollbars,resizable'); return false;"
ID="Hyperlink2" NAME="Hyperlink2">[...]</asp:Hyperlink>

now instead of pointing it to www.google.com, I want it to pop up a page or
anything that will display rest of the data, how can i do it?
Please advice,
Stephen Noronha

Hi,

I would use a linkbutton instead.
In the pages html

<asp:LinkButton id="LinkButton1" style="Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 32px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 104px"
runat="server">[...]</asp:LinkButton></form>
In the code behind file

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.open ('http://www.google.com',
'popupwindow','width=400,height=300,scrollbars,res izable'); ")

End Sub

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply, but i want it to redirect to a page on my server with
some values in the query string
e.g: http://localhost/Temp/Sample.aspx?data=hello
where data can be from a textbox or something.

I tried "http://localhost/Temp/Sample.aspx?data=" & textbox.text but it does
not take the value and displays an empty query string

Please advice,
Stephen

From the code from our own website
\\\

Response.Redirect(Defaults.FilePath & "default.aspx?ID=" &
Session.Item("ID").ToString

Hi Cor,
Sorry for not presenting the problem properly. I have a page with tons of
data, i have notes label that assume is a large data, so i display part of
it with a [...] now I want to know whats the best way to display the rest of
the data.
is it to have a pop up with scroll bar or take to another webform with data?

1. I tried pop up, but cannot seem to pass the parameters (I am not good at
Javascript or VB script), another issue is formatting data.
2. I have tried a webform that works fine as I am displaying data on a
datagrid or any given control but basically its another page.

Can you suggest how to do this?
Thanks for your help

Stephen

Sthephan,

First about the link, your ps. I was showing the URL with the redirect
information on it.

Your question has no best answer however some I can give.
Using popups is in my opinion never the way to go in ASPNET.

Using redirecect makes it needed that you save all the information between
the pages in sessions.

The most easy one in my opinion is to use panels on a webpage.
By hiding them and showing them you have very much possibilities.

We use in that website that I showed you, an Iframe, however that is very
unorthodox for ASPNET. It was beside doing it in another way than everybody
(in ASPNET), more a challenge.

I would normally try forever to do avoid a redirect by the way if it is not
completely as well new data. In the page you saw we do it, because one of
the main purpose is to be able to show samples in these newsgroups and we
cannot reach the URL (address) place.

I hope that this gives some idea's

Cor
