Send a callback to other page?

Question

I have an asp.net page. I'm using a jquery library to open a modal window on link click. Within this modal window I'm loading another page. After i make update within this modal window I need to send a callback to "Parent" page. if I call function from this window I'm getting the error it couldn't find function. Window.opener.functionname also not working.

here is an example of my code

$(function () {
            $('#ControlId').click(function (e) {
                e.preventDefault();

                $.ModalWindow({
                    bgColor: '#3333cc',
                    url: 'default.aspx'
                });

                return false;
            });  

                return false;
            });
        });

Is there any way how to send a callback?

Answer 1

You can call any JavaScript that lives in the parent window as long as the domain is the same.

Place some javascript code like this in your parent page:

function handleChild(){
    // put your callback code here
    $.nyroModalRemove(); // if you want your child to remove the popup
}

Place some javascript code like this in your child page (the one popped up):

function callParent(){
    if ((window.parent) && (window.parent != window)) {
        if (window.parent.handleChild) {
            window.parent.handleChild();
        }
    }
}

and call it via a button <input type='button' onclick='callParent()'>click me to close</input> or via the onload of your page $(document).ready(function(){callParent();});
