[Venkat Chellam]

HI all,

I am finding a very peculiar problem. I have two pages. From the first
page on button click i have javascript function which it turn opens
modal dialog box with second page as a parameter to it. From the
second page, when i click ok, i set some return value to the window
and then want to retieve the return value from the fist page where
showmodaldialog was called. but the return value always shows
undefined? does anyone came across this problem or have any other
solution to work on this?

</script>") ;

I still didn't understand how is it going to help me. how would the
first page receive the return value?

what did you set window.returnValue to in the modal window?

only scalers are supported, as any objects will be destroyed when the modal
window is closed (and this be undefined). if you need to pass an object
back, you need to call a routine in the opener window to clone it, so the
object(s) will still exist.
