It dawned on me that I could write the body's innerHTML to a textarea on a
newly opened window. Here is the HTML of the body:
--------------------------------

Hi Scott,
It sounds like SmartNavigation is causing a client-side syntax error in the
page but you're not see it in the modal form.
What happens if you launch the page as a regular Web page, not using
showModalDialog ? Can you see anything funny in the source?
Ken
The problem is associated with using this form in a popup opened via
window.showModalDialog. The HTML is well formed and all OPTIONS
appear
in
the SELECT, they just don't display. The ddls are filled via this
code:
-----------------------------
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder(128)
Dim wsOO As New wsOwnerOperator.OwnerOperator
Dim drDriver As wsOwnerOperator.tdsOwnerOperators.DriversRow
Dim drTractor As
wsOwnerOperator.tdsOwnerOperators.OwnerOperatorTractorsRow
Dim li As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem
Dim i As Integer
'clear the ddl
ddlTractor.Items.Clear()
ddlDriver.Items.Clear()
'get the dataset
_tdsOwnerOperators1 = wsOO.GetOwnerOperatorsFull
_tdsOwnerOperators1.EnforceConstraints = False
'add a column to allow display of the Driver's full name in the ddl
If _tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.Columns("FullName") Is Nothing Then
Dim col As New System.Data.DataColumn("FullName")
col.Expression = "LastName + ', ' + FirstName"
_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.Columns.Add(col)
End If
'add a column to allow display of the tractor's make, model, year, and
license# in the ddl
If _tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.Columns("Description") Is
Nothing Then
Dim col As New System.Data.DataColumn("Description")
col.Expression = "TruckNumber + ' - ' + Year + ' ' + Make + ' ' +
Model
+
'
' + Color"
_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.Columns.Add(col)
End If
_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.DefaultView.RowFilter =
"OwnerOperatorID = " & ddlOwnerOperator.SelectedValue & "OR
OwnerOperatorTractorID = -1"
li = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem("Please Choose One", CStr(-1))
ddlTractor.Items.Add(li)
ddlDriver.Items.Add(li)
For i = 0 To
(_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.DefaultView.Count -
1)
li = New
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(CStr(_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTra
ctors.DefaultView(i).Item("Description")),
CStr(_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.DefaultView(i).Item("OwnerOpe
ratorTractorID")))
ddlTractor.Items.Add(li)
Next
_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.DefaultView.RowFilter = "OwnerOperatorID =
" &
ddlOwnerOperator.SelectedValue & "OR OwnerOperatorID = -1"
For i = 0 To (_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.DefaultView.Count - 1)
li = New
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(CStr(_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.DefaultV
iew(i).Item("FullName")),
CStr(_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.DefaultView(i).Item("DriverID")))
ddlDriver.Items.Add(li)
Next
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------
If I set a break point in this code and setp through it, voila, it
displays.
If I don't it does not. The form sets SmartNavigation to true. If I
comment that out (causing the postback's response to the event to
open
in
another browser window), it works. I would assume that it is an IE
6.0.2800.1106 problem, except that it works if I set a break point in the
code.
I do the same thing in other forms throughout the site and have not
experienced this problem before.
As I cannot "view source" on a window opened via the showModalDialog
method,
and I cannot copy text from an alert, I do not know how I can get you the
HTML that is generated from the ASPX.
Thank you,

Hi Scott,
You didn't show us the code that is causing the problem, so I can only
guess
at what may be causing this. Make sure that the rest of the HTML is
well-formed. Missing closing tags could be preventing the page from
rendering
properly.
If you can post code that reproduces the problem, that would help a lot.
Ken
:
I am displaying an ASP.Net generated form in a popup opened with
window.showModalDialog.
The form contains DropDownList controls. The first ddl is populated
via
databinding to a datatable, has its AutoPostBack set to true and has
its
SelectedIndexChanged event being handled in codebehind. The event
fires
as
it should populating two more ddls.
The problem is, the two ddls appear empty. I have used a javascript
alert
to look at the innerHTML of the body and the SELECT tags have the
correct
OPTION tags contained within them, but they display as empty.
A funny thing is, if I set a break point in the SelectedIndexChanged
event
and step through the code, they will display properly. I have examined
they
HTML generated when I break and when I don't, and it is the same for
both.
This is strange, can anyone help me?
Thank you,
Scott Lee
