Window.showModalDialog() using javascript.

Question

I am opening a child window using window.showModalDialog() method. In the child page i have few server side controls whenever a postback happens the child page opens in a new window.

I have also set in my head tag,but it is not working.

<base target ="_self/>

For example In Page 1: i have an anchor on whose click i open a child page(page2). In my child page Page2: I have an asp.net button to search based on the criteria. when i enter the criteria and click search, the search results are show in new window rather then the same window.

Answer 1

Not really sure what you are wanting since you are not asking a question, but I think you want to use Javascript's Alert() method to get a messagebox like what the Window.ShowDialog() method does.
