Problem with window.showModalDialog

[rashmi_ay]

Hey,

I have developed a program in which a button is placed and when i clicked on that button a new widow will appear using the JavaScript. The problem is that when use it with the "window.open" method it works properly but the actual problem arise when i am using it with the window.showModalDialog. When i use the Window.showModalDialog method it is not working according to me.

Help me.

Hey,

I am forwarding the code and i think it will work with you. So make the change according to your requirement and then check whether it is working or not. All you have to do is that just pest this code in your buttons click event.

function ShowDialog()
{  window.showModalDialog("name of the form"); }
function CloseDialog()
{  window.close();}

Thank you

Hey friend,

Just try this code and see whether it will help you with the proper solution. It helps with the same problem which you are facing. So try your luck also to solve the same. And don't forgot mention Thanks if it works for you.

var childWindow;
function ShowDialog()
{childWindow = window.showModalDialog("Form name");}
function CloseDialog()
{childWindow.close();}

Hey brother,

I think you problem can be solved bye the changing the base target to the self mode. Because the problem you are facing is because of the base target is changing to the some other mode. Just add this to the your form's code of the child window. Thats all i can help you with this. Hoping that it will work for you.

<base target="_self">

Thank you

Hi there,

If all the above is not working then use the linking of the form to the 2nd form. It will link the two form together to work with each other. All you have to do is that just write the code and the link and close the windows method at the end of the code.

window.dialogArguments.location.href = 
function CloseWindow()
{childWindow.close();}
