Hi,

How can I close a window that open with the java script below ?

window.showModalDialog('Report.aspx', '','dialogHeight=800px;dialogWidth=800px');

The Window.Close(); does not closes it, but opens one more window (same as the modal one)

Thanks a lot.

window.close(); should work.

Where did you put window.close()? Here is a simple sample:

One my mai page I have a linek that opens the modal dialog:

One my Default.aspx page, I have a OK button that close the window (I used a HTML button):

Hope it helps.

I have the following:

on Test.aspx page

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick = "open_window();" /> 

function open_window()

{window.showModalDialog(

'test2.aspx', '','dialogHeight=800px;dialogWidth=800px');}

</script>

on Test2.aspx page

<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" OnclientClick = "close_window();" />

function close_window()

{window.close();}

</script>

When I click on close button, modal window closes, but then a normal window of Test.aspx opens.

When I changed "window.showModalDialog" to "window.open", "window.close" seemed to work, but "window.open" does not open a modal window.

All you need to do is add

<base target="_self"> inside the head tag of the page you are calling as modal and you should be good to go.

Looks like you are calling the content page as your modal dialoag. Is that is the case, you will need to put the tag in your master page.

Remember the <base target=_self> goes inside the head tag of the window that is being displayed as modal

<head>

</head>

After reading the previous posts, I have a question about this:

<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" OnclientClick = "close_window();" />

function close_window()

{window.close();}

</script>

As Button2 is clicked, can some code behind (say a stored proc query) be run before close_window()? Please advise how. Thanks.
