    window.showModalDialog and PostBack

    I'm currently opening an aspx page (myModalASPX) as a dialog box from
    client-side script using window.showModa lDialog(blah blah blah).

    The dialog opens as expected. Now I'm adding functionality to the dialog
    box/aspx page that causes a postback. What currently happens is that after
    the postback, myModalASPX page is rendered back to the client in a new
    browser window - which gives me *two instances* of myModalASPX in the
    client - one being in the original modal window and another that's in a
    separate browser window. Not good.

    What does it take to show an aspx page as a modal dialog box *and* enable it
    to post back to the server - which subsequently renders the updated version
    back to the original modal dialog box (and not to a new window)?

    Thanks!

      it must be contained in a frameset in the modal window.

          Hi Henry,

          Just add the following in the <head> section of your aspx page:

          <base target=_self>

          Andrei.
