Hi,

Iam using javascript code to open a new popup web page from my parent web page. I have an image button on the popup page. I have written code in to execute on the image button's click event. However every time I click on the image button it executes the code only after opening a new window of the same page. Is this a nature shown for any control in a pop-up form?

How can I make it to execute the click event on the same page(popup form) without opening a new window?

Many thanks!

This sounds like it could be an issue with modal dialogs (are you using one?) where you cant post back the page in the modal dialog.

The workaround is to have a generic popup window that contains an iframe that then contains the actual popup. The iframe is then free to postback to itself without opening a new window.

Thanks for that.

Yes, Iam using a modal dialog and I was not aware of postback issues in popup forms. Can you point me to an example code on Iframe/popup inside iframe.

The article at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/IFrameParams.aspx seems to cover the issue.
