showModalDialog window does not close

S

Stan B

I create a popup window by calling window.showModalDialog

Popup window has Ok button with this code attached:

===
string Script = "<script language=JavaScript>" +
"{" +
"window.close();" +
"}" +
"</script>";

if (!ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("CloseScript"))
ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock (Page.GetType(),
"CloseScript", Script);

===

When Ok button is clilcked, the window is flickering but does not close.

1. If window.showModalDialog is replaced with window.open, everything works
fine.

2. Similar code worked fine on 1.1 framework

3. There is a workaround to set window.opener to some value. I tried that -
didn't work

Thanks,

-Stan

Stan,

Would not it be easier to put the script straight to the <head> section of
the aspx page, setup the button's onclick event and stop worrying about the
script registration calls?

Eliyahu, it would. But how can I solve my problem of window not being
closed?

when a modal dialog box postbacks, it does not postbck to the same window,
so the client script you generate is not running in the popup window. to
postback to the same window, have a frameset page host the dialog page. then
i believe you will need to close the parents window.

Does
<input type="button" value="Ok" onclick="window.close();"/>
work?

It does work, but I still need close the window from the server because I am
saving user selection
in session.

So, when the script is injected by RegisterClientScriptBlock AND the window
is opened
via showModalDialog, it does not close.

Is there a workaround for this?

I never liked the idea of script injection from the server. Instead of
passing javascript code from the server, almost always (there are
exceptions!) you can leave all scripts in the client code and pass from the
server a message instructing the client what to do. You can have a hidden
input control for passing this sort of messages:

<head>
<script>
function checkAction(){
switch(form1.inhAction.value){
case "CLOSE":
window.close();
break;
.....
}
form1.inhAction.value="";
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="checkAction()">
<form id="form1" ...
....
<input type="hidden" runate="server" id="inhAction" />

It still does not close the form!

<script language=javascript>
function checkAction()
{
if (form1.inhAction.value == "C")
{
alert ("closing the form");
window.close();
}
form1.inhAction.value = "";
}
</script>

I set inhAction = "C" on the server and see "closing the form" popup, but
the form remains open...
