Hi,

I am trying to open a pop up modal window(which is an aspx page)......from a click of a <a > tag...

and in the page_load of a popupwindow.aspx...i have a code which reads the session variable( it works fine)...
and at the click of a save button in the popupwindow.aspx(using window.close) or using "X" button of the title bar...the window is closed

and now when i click the link again it opens a window...but when i have a debug point in page_load...it does not go there..and some how it maintains the viewstate of that page and displays whatever in page_load...but it is not actually going into page_load...

i am very confused...

javascript function

function ShowDialog()
          {
          retval=window.showModalDialog('popupwindow.aspx',' Code','dialogHeight: 200px; dialogWidth: 200px;edge: Raised; center: Yes; help: No; resizable: No; status: No;');
          }

<A onclick="ShowDialog()" href="javascript:;"><IMG src="images\bullet3.jpg"></A>

in the page_load of the popupwindow.aspx...i have
this.Label1.Text=Session["test"].ToString();//which works..just keep a debugging point and notice it never goes there second time.

Thank You.

i know it workd with window.open .. but i need a modaldialod that way i can prevent user from coming back to parent.aspx without closing the child.aspx...

is there anyway i can acheive that using window.open...

thanks for your help.

I don't think you can prevent the user using window.open... if you are talking modal forms, you might want to look at an ActiveX control.

i fixed it ... all i needed was this in the page_load of child.aspx or popupwindow.aspx...

so when ihave this it does not store this page in the cache and always requests a new page..

    Response.Expires=0;
        // Response.Cache.SetNoStore();
        // Response.AppendHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
