I am using Visual Studio .net 1.0 and have created a web page (the
parent) that has a popup window (the child) for the user to make a
selection from after making selection the user clicks a hyperlink to
return to the parent form i am using
"JavaScript:opener.location.reload();opener.focus();window.close()"
for the navigateURL property and storing the selected value to a
session("variable")

What I am having a problem with is geting the parent to postback and
display the new value. I am aware of a java function _doPostback bu am
unsure of how to use it in the navigateURL property, can anyone give
me the correct syntax for this so that the parent page automatically
posts back when the popup is closed. In additon I need the value to
appear in a specified dropdown control is there a way to specify the
control name in the navigateURL

Hello:
  I'm not able to use Visual Studio .NET, but I'm able to fix your
Javascript to:
-Refresh the parent window with the new value or
-Change the value dinamically

So if you post the code (HTML+JS) here, I will fix it, but I can't use
Visual Studio .NET.

Regards.
