It looks ok. Do you have javascript enabled on that machine?

Re: <body onload="al ert('Hello');&q uot;> does not work! Why?

Where have you defined the JavaScript function? When you use the body
"onload" event to call a function, it must be declared in the head. The
RegisterStartup Script() method puts the JavaScript code that should run when
the page is loaded at the bottom of the form. This always works, as long as
there are no references in the script to HTML elements below the script in
the page. This is due to the fact that browsers don't always get all of the
HTML for the page in one swell foop.

RE: <body onload="al ert('Hello');&q uot;> does not work! Why?

Thank you so much for all your responses.
My ShowPopUp() javascript function is declared in the header on the same
page as where it's called. What really puzzled me was even the
onload="alert(' Hello');" did not display the message at load up.
What I really want to do is showing the popup (modal) window, which is a
Search screen where the user selects a record. When the popup is closed, the
selected ID is returned back to the parent window, put the returned ID in a
hidden field then reload the page so that the rest of the details can be
displayed on the screen.
How easy is it to do this using the RegisterStartup Script facility?

Thanks again,
Calvin

Re: <body onload="al ert('Hello');&q uot;> does not work! Why?

Thanks so much Patrick. I think I have some ideas as how to do it and I will
give it a shot.
Would you be kind enough to check out this post again next week in case I
still have issues and may ask for your help?
Thanks again,
Calvin.
