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.

similar to the post http://forums.asp.net/p/1246676/2297583.aspx

What is your question? Try and describe what you're trying to do in detail, show some of the code involved and any scripting errors you might be receiving. — Andy E

If you want to open child window in new window then you need to add

< base target="_blank" /> instead of < base target="_self" />

which opens ModelDialog in parent window.

Hope this clarifies your question.

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.

It's alert() not Alert().
