Hi

window i get a blank screen with this "javascript:__doPostBack
('DataList1:_ctl0:Select','')". My child window code fires when the 
select is clicked in the datalist.

thanks

> Launch the child window with window.openModalDialog and use the
window.returnValue property:
var ret =3D window.openModalDialog(url, "", features);
alert(ret)

In child window:
window.returnValue =3D document.form.control.value;
self.close();

Heeeelp

My aspx page has an iframe inside a user control from which i launch a=20
child window(also aspx). The user is supposed to select an option from=20
the child and the option (as string) must then be passed back to iframe.

Not working !

I've tried the conventional document.formname.controlname.value or
parent.form.controlname.value or parent.frames(framename).value etc etc=20
but all i get is error on page (document.form.control is null or not an=20
object).

Any advice ?

Thanks

Markus
