call server side function then javascript

[Lostdante via DotNetMonster.com]

Hi,

I have a modal dialog box which i'm using to collect user data. what I want
to do is when the user clicks the 'submit' button add the data to the
database and then call the java script to close the window and pass a value
back to the parent page.

I've tried using RegisterStartupScript after the database update function but
this doesn't seem to work. Any help would be great.

Rob.

Code is:
'add data to db
addAction()

'close window
Dim strScript, strKey
strKey = "AddAction"
strScript = "<script language=JavaScript>window.returnValue = document.
getElementById('txtlbID').value; window.close();</script>"

Page.RegisterStartupScript(strKey, strScript)

It sounds then like you have some sort of postback and your data is now gone.
You could try Viewstate, or a hidden form field. You can also call an update
method on the parent page with
window.parent.Update(document.getElementById('txtlbID').Value);
then--
window.close();

Have you looked at the client-side HTML that is in the browser to see
whether or not your JavaScript is there?

Passing the value back is less of a problem. What I need to resolve is how to
call the window.close event after the update db function is called in the
button click event.

Is it possible to call javascript from within the click event after a server
side call?
