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...

Problem on creating popup window with ajax

Hi ,

I want to create a popup window when i select ' add new' in dropdown list. I am using javascript for opening popup window and to bind dropdown list details im using AJAX. The problem here is popup window is not opening with ajax. Without ajax it is opening.Why? ( Iam using asp.net2.0 version)

Thanks.

Make sure you're using ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript to register your popup script. Take a look here for an example: http://encosia.com/index.php/2007/06/19/the-easiest-way-to-break-aspnet-ajax-pages/

Hi,

I try to insert the bellow method insted of responce.write()

Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock("","","") in my code, But it showing an error of parameter 'type' I used type=me.gettype() method.

Any idea how to pass parameters?

Thanks,

Aswath.

Make sure you use the ScriptManager method, not the ClientScript one, if you want to use it in a partial postback.
