Hi,

DESCRIPTION:
I'm developing an application that when I need to insert a date, I use 3
textbox's and one image button. This image button open's a small popup
window with a calendar, allowing user choose date. Then, this popup returns
the year, month and day to the correspondent textbox. So far, so good.

PROBLEM:
The problem is that the applications opens so popup's as the number of
clicks that I do in image button. What I want is that only opens one popup
at a time. That when it's already one open, this closes and open a new
popup.

For that I have a .JS file that have this:
-------------------------------------------------
var NewWnd = null;

function DestroyWnd()
{
// close the current window
if(this.NewWnd != null)
{
this.NewWnd.close();
this.NewWnd = null;
}
}

function pick(Year,Month,Day)
{
if((this.NewWnd == null) || (this.NewWnd.closed))
{
var url = "Calendar.aspx?srcA=" + Year + "&srcM=" + Month + "&srcD=" + Day
this.NewWnd = window.open(url, "_blank", "height=200, width=200, left=250,
top=200, " +
"location=no, menubar=no, resizable=no, " +
"scrollbars=no, titlebar=no, toolbar=no", true);
}
else
{
DestroyWnd();
pick(Year,Month,Day);
}
}
-------------------------------------------------

Because buttons do postback my .JS variable (NewWnd) is reset and never
mantain the value of window.
How can I solve this?

And I posted here too, because maybe It's possible I have to do anything in
my VB code (if I know the answer, I'm sure that I don't post here my
question).
If you can see too, you've posted your answer to my question in ASPNET and
JSCRIPT group. Like me, you've posted wrong.

Thanks anyway for your help.

It's not interesting whether you are using VB.Net for programming as long as
the question is not related to the VB.Net programming language. Even after
reading your question again I don't see any relation.

Hi Ruca,

What I do not understand why it should be such an anoying popup windows.
Most people have a popup killer.

This can be nicely done by creating an area on your form where that calender
control is in and you hide another control and after that you hide the
calender control again.

Now you are taking a lot of work doing that what most people hate.

Just my thought,

Cor

Then how do you make the nice little area modal. Programmers usually want
to force an input. Is there a way to do this with an area on the page?

Thanks,

Jim

Just FYI:
Popup killers will kill popup window only if it served from another domain.
If it's served from the same domain of the original URL then Popup killers
will let it through.
So do not worry about it.

Hi George,

[Original message clipped]

in a Web situation.
They use Popup killers, that it is not killed does not make that people like
them.

Reason, you have always to click them away when you have used them and they
appear always on the place where is the information you need to type in the
answer. While it is not something that appears on another monitor you can
put it in aspx as well fixed in the same window.

However just my idea about this

I was not referring to your comments.
I was just stating that pop ups are ok to use even if 90% people using popup
killers.
Also i would like to notice that it's matter of personal preferences of
liking and not liking popups.

I have not seen any study on that but from my own experience popup(s) are ok
if they are logically fit into the application.

I have simple example.
On my site people can enter HTML message and at some point the might want to
embed image into text.
I think it's a good choice to popup a small window to allow them upload
image rather than navigating away from text they entered and having them
worried that all they have entered so far is lost because they did not click
submit button.

George.

Hi George,

I did not say you have to add a new pag, I think it is better to use a part
of the page as a special area for that. (And I am not talking about plain
html or asp, I am talking about serverside aspx applications)

And I said consequently that it is just my thought.

HI Ruca,

why don't you try to disable the button if the window is already open?

Hi

No need to check... give it a name

window.open("pageToGo.aspx","myCalendarWin","Window SPECS");

This will reuse window if already open
