Saving fields from popup page

[Sanjeev Mahajan via .NET 247]

Hi All,

I have a main page from which I am calling a popup page. Thepopup page has an editable grid and some other fields. There isalso a Save button on the popup page. When the user clicks theSave button on the popup page, I want to save the values in thedatagrid as a dataset into the ViewState of the main page. Can Iaccess the ViewState of the main page in the popup page? If not,what is the way out?

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,

If you launch your popup as a modal window you can set the
window.resultValue to a comma delimited (or other delimiter) string. Then
you will have the data in your main page, set that data to a hidden input
field that has the runat="server" tag set. Then when your main page does a
postback, parse this hidden field and add the values to your dataset. I
don't know of anyway to mess with the view state with javascript to
programmatically add these values to a dataset. Good luck! Ken.

P.S. If you can't use a modal form then you can send your data directly back
to the hidden field on your main page with the following line:
window.opener.document.getElementById('hiddenfield').value = data;
window.close(); (automatically closes your popup)
