Use the AJAX modal popup extender.

Ok. I started moving to the modalpopupextender. Now, there is a linkbutton
in the gridview that is to be used to open the modal. Here is what the
linkbutton has in it;

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbtnChangeRequestDetailView"
runat="server"
ForeColor="Black"
Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"ChangeRequestID") %>' >
</asp:LinkButton>

This linkbutton is also the holder of the ID of the record so it needs to
pass it to the modal. This linkbutton was what opened the showModalDialog.
The formview is bound by sqldatasource. What (and how) should I use to open
the modal from the linkbutton with? You have an example?

I have been working on this most of the day reverting back to using the
modalpopupextender and I am not having any luck or success in getting this to
work properly. Which I ran into before. Frustration is running ramped. I
have googled and read what you linked (and other articles from there) and it
still isn't working. When I go to run it, the modal is there, but is as
blank as the look on my face.

For now I have gone back to the window.open (not the showModalDialog). It
opens a window with the information and it moves to edit, insert, etc just
like the users want it to. Unforturnately, it is not modal (unless you have
a way of making it so). We'll just need to live with that until I take
another stab at the modal extender.

Thanks...John
