Postback to Open Window

i have a button in an update panel that checks through some business logic and if errors/warnings are generated i need to report them to the user.

i have no room on the screen to use for this and would like to show a dialog/window with anything to report.

anyone any ideas on how i could achieve this?

cheers

you can try to build a message control that has absolute position (CSS) , and it located in the center of the page (on top of every elements of page (using z-index)) with ok and close button.

the message control will be placed in every page and have it hidden before any message send, maybe you want to put it in master or basepage if there are a lot of pages going to use the control.

Use javascript:window.alert('Your message here!');

If you're using the AJAX Toolkit, check out theModalPopup Extender.

If you're not, jQuery'sBlockUI plugin is a nice way to accomplish that as well.

thanks for all the feedback.

i eventually used the modalpopup to handle this and works perfectly.

thanks again all...

print button of Crystal report 11.5 didnt show pop-up dialog with AJAX

I have developed one web application with ASP.Net 2.0 with AJAX 1.0 and Crystal Report 11.5 Release 2.

When i put Crystal Report viewer in AJAX's update panel, Crystal report viewer is opened properly, but when i try to export or print the report from Crystal Report viewer, it is not showing any dialog box for export or print. Print mode of Crystal report viewer is ActiveX.

Can any body help regarding this problem with example(if possible) ?
