    How get modal window to stay open?!!!

    I am doing a simple master/detail page (gridview/detailsview).

    I put the detailsview in a hidden panel and am using the modalpopupexten der
    to display it.

    The details view should allow view, insert and update/cancel.

    PROBLEM: The popup works perfect. BUT, when I click ANYTHING, such as
    'edit', or 'new', the model CLOSES. If I reopen the model I see that the
    action has taken place. Any idea how I can PREVENT it from closing
    automatically?

          I put it in an UpdatePanel and it seemed to fix it.

          I'll have to research your solution.

          For some reason though, when I hit the close button on the model I can't get
          the page data to update. Any ideas?

              Not without seeing your code...

                  the modalpopup does not open a window. it just display a div that was
                  hidden. if your page does a postback, the page rerenders and the popup
                  is not displayed (unless you put javascript code to do it - bad idea).

                  if you put an update panel in the popup, then a rerender is not done, so
                  the popup does not disappear. if you click close, the div i just hidden,
                  and no async postback is done. if you need the close to save, replace
                  with an update trigger then generate javascript that close the popup.
                  i think you need to add a close method to the popup as it does not have one.

                      Thanks. It really sounds like that's what I need to do. Do you have a link
                      that I can look at to read more (or sample code)? Thanks!
