New window being spawned from dialog page when button clicked on form

Guest

i have the following .aspx file defined:
..... other tags here ...
<asp:TableCell><asp:button id="AddButton" Runat="server" Text="Add New Vessel..."</asp:button></asp:TableCell>
..... other tags here ...

i also have the following codebehind class code to set the action of the button on click to run a modal dialog as follows:

Page_Load
..... load code here ...
AddButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.showModalDialog('AddClicked.aspx');return true;")
..... load code here...

finally the AddClicked.aspx page has another button on it and when the button on that page (dialog window) is clicked, a new window is automatically spawned (giving me a total of 3 windows: 1) the starting window, 2) the dialog window, 3) the spawned window. why is this happening? i don't want the dialog to spawn a new window when the button is clicked; i simply want the dialog page to refresh its contents. any help would be great...

another note...if i pull the addclicked.aspx button up in its own browser window (type localhost/app/addclicked.asp in the address bar rather than hosting it in a dialog window), clicking on the button in this case does not spawn another window ... i don't understand at this point what is happening

You need to use smartNavigation, ie. set smartNavigation to true. Problem
with this is that smartNavigation causes a whole new set of problems, but if
your dialog is simple it should be OK.
