I have an asp.net page that is using the showModalDialog to alow the user to edit data from that page. If the user changes and saves the data in a dialog I want to refresh the parent window to reflect the changes made. All works well except for the darn:
"Page cannot be refreshed without resending the information"
message I get when the dialog closes and I attempt to refresh the parent.

Here is my code...

Parent Window:
Has a hyperlink with a URL of "javascript: showDialog(parms);"

<script language='JavaScript'>
showDialog{
...
var str = window.showModalDialog(url, parms, options);
if str='Refresh'
   window.location.reload(true);
</script>

The child window has a some script that is run when the "Save" button is pressed which tells the parent refresh:
<script language="javascript">window.returnValue="Refresh" ; window.close();</script>

I have seen this work before without getting that message but I must be missing a setting some place. Does anyone have any idea how to prevent the ""Page cannot be refreshed..." message?

Thanks!

This should work....



<script language='JavaScript'>
showDialog{
...
var str = window.showModalDialog(url, parms, options);
if str='Refresh'
   window.location.href = unescape(window.location.pathname);
</script>

make sure if your url popup page is a webform to set <base TARGET="_self"> in the header section or your going to have problems with postbacks opening another window.
