formview edit issue
in [ASP .NET]

Prev: Call Function from aspx
Next: url rewrites
From: JohnE on 18 Apr 2010 12:51 I have a gridview (master) that when a linkbutton is used it opens the formview (detail) for the record. It is all working. The linkbutton opens a showModalDialog rather then the modalpopupextender. function ShowChangeRequestDetail(ChangeRequestID) { window.showModalDialog("ProteusListDetailView.aspx?ChangeRequestID=" + ChangeRequestID, "", "dialogWidth:700px; dialogHeight:500px; resizable:no; scrollbars:no"); } As mentioned, it all works like it should. The issue is when I use the Edit button on the formview it opens another window with all the internet webpage controls on it (favorites, menus, etc). Plus the window is almost the size of the screen. What is controlling the Edit button was done when the formview was created. Both of these are not acceptable for the users. How do I go about controlling the window that the Edit button (not linkbutton) opens up for editing? Any examples, samples, links are welcomed. Thanks... John

I tried the modalpopupextender but couldn't get it to work properly. Saw there was a function in one of the articles with a work around to the cross brower as well as other methods. Will bookmark this google search and go back to the modal to try it again. Any suggestions since what I have is working (other then the edit) to keep the repair time down?
