Hi Kostas,

How can I get a Web Modal window to activate with an Input type="Submit" or Type="Image" button with onclick? It works great with a Type="Button". And is there a way to return True/False (or any other value) to the onclick so a button can be used for validation or a Go/No Go from the modal window?

Thanks,
Gus

Dear Gus,

If you have this submit button in a form and want to show the form result inside the Modal Window, then there is a simple way to capture the “on submit” event. You just need to add the correct “target” to your form:

If you just want to show a standard Modal Window, then there are many ways to do this using the element ID, Class or “onclick” method:

For example: <input type=”image” onclick=”Modal_Window_1();” … />

Finally, regarding returning a value from the modal, this is not possible in the sense of a “confirm” dialog as the modal is not blocking the JavaScript execution.

Still it allows you to run any JavaScript code on exit, so you can do anything you like there (for example check a modal/page element value and act accordingly):

Hi,

Can I create an asp.net form in a modal window?

Thanks,
Brad

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Dear Brad,

Yes you can load an asp.net form in a modal window. To do this, you need to select the “external” source type:

Note: If you want the result of the form to be loaded in the whole page instead of the modal, you need to set the <form> to have:   target='_top'

Hello from Switzerland,

Here a short example (running) on my actual Project.

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=EXAMPLE;url=../../main/main.aspx;');

Now I want to control the "target link" property using like url but I found no description about this.
like this (and sure... not working

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=EXAMPLE;url=../../main/main.aspx;link=_blank');

Maybe you can give me here some help.

Thanks.
Ernesto

Dear Ernesto,

The name is “target” instead of “link”, so the code should be like:

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=EXAMPLE;url=../../main/main.aspx;target=_blank');

Hello Kostas,
thanks for the short replay.
I used this statement now:

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=HOME;url=../../main/main.aspx;target=_blank');

Tests in IE or Opera... but, it is not working.
Some Idea about.

Thanks,
Ernesto

Dear Ernesto,

Can you please try the following code instead?

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=HOME;url=../../main/main.aspx;targetframe=new');

Hello Kostas,
ah, ok! This now is opening the content in a new register.
So this is a interesting option for us.
But, if you still have a new idea about how to open it in a
completely new "browser" window so thanks for the help again... 
If not.... so we will use this solution.
Thanks.
BR, Ernesto

Dear Ernesto,

The only way to open it in a completely new window (the equivalent of “_blank” within the application) is to add this as a script:

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem("style=menu_main_item_style;itemid=0;text0=Home");

mainItem.script2 = "window.open('/main/main.aspx,'test','toolbar=yes, status=yes, scrollbars=yes, location=yes, fullscreen=no, menubar=yes, resizable=yes, height=600, width=500');";

Hello,
Ok, so I have created a couple of pages for you to review. This may be an issue with how I am building the Modal window, I am not using iFrame. Does that make a difference? Here are the links, please let me know what you find.
http://www.bhomes.org/a1.asp is the page that draws the links from the database.
If they load correctly you would see this page in the modal window depending on which link you clicked.
http://www.bhomes.org/a2.asp?id=1
http://www.bhomes.org/a2.asp?id=2

Thanks
Jim

Dear Jim,

I checked your page and when I viewed the source code I saw this:

Error! Filename not specified.

This should be:

<a href="A2.asp?ID=1" target="Modal_Window_1">test</a>

And not:

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.Modal_Window_1('A2.asp?ID=1'); return false;" >test</a>

I thought this was clear in our previous emails!

I made the change in the link but it made no difference in the site. Please review again and let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
Jim

Dear Jim,

I just realized what was wrong…

Do you have the modal project set to “make links open in this window”?

If not, please change this and change your “targets” to “Modal_Window_1_single” instead of “Modal_Window_1”.

The “Modal_Window_1” is for opening the existing (in-project) content and not what you find in pages.

This should fix everything.

You are correct that I used that setting. I will make the necessary changes and retest. I will email the results when I get a chance.
Thanks for all your help,
