closing a pop up window

[Tirthankar Dutta]

I am using this code.This pop up window pops up when I clicks a button on the main page.Now I want the pop up window to be closed if the password is successfully changed and reload the main page,but if the password is not changed then refresh the pop up window again.
Here is the code.....

                 document.getElementById("name").focus();
                 return false;
      }
       if (document.getElementById("curnt_paswrd").value=="")
      {

Shouldn't you be doing sever side stuff for validating/changing passwords?

Anyways, you can to use the window.opener property to get a reference to the parent window (the main page). You can use this reference to call a JavaScript method that exists in the parent window. This JavaScript method should call the JavaScript method that causes the ASP.NET page to post back to the server (the __doPostBack(.. .,...) method).

So, after you have successfully authenticated the user, you would have your server side code write the JavaScript that uses the window.opener property to call the method to refresh the parent window, and then closes the window.

how to use a new window

how we can load controls in a child window on clicking event like login or change or forget password.
and validation should also be done over there

[Frinavale]

You would open an ASPX page in the child window...so you would load the controls within that page.
