LOOK UP FORM WITH YAHOO DAILOG

[zaps]

Iam using window.showdailog to load an asp.net page,child page having
an asp.net grid,when the user double click on the selected row in the grid,
i use this function to close that window and get parameters from child window
function SetWindow(id)
{
window.returnValue = id;
window.close();
}
it is working fine in normal way.

I tried with yahoo dailog, but i am unable to get the return value from dailog,
it is possible by using yahoo dialog to get the above functionality ?
how to do this by using yahoo dailog,how i get the return value from dailog

yui-ext dialog is not a new window.... it is simply a div which looks like a window.... so just declare a global variable somewhere in your page and change its value when closing the dialog box

HOW IT POSSIBLE TO GET A VALUE,
CHILD PAGE IS LOADING IN IFRAME

[manugoel2003]

you have to define some functions to get and set the variable.... something like this


var myValue = "some value";
function getValue(){
return myValue;
}
function setValue(val){
myValue = val;
}

Then call these functions from the iframe like this


var a = parent.getValue();
parent.setValue("new Value");

I think it should work

Thanks for your help

By calling parent.functioname
raises exception "object does not this property"

i solved the problem by using parent.document.forms[0] (using hidden field to store the selected value)

how to called the function in parent,

I want to close the dailog when users double click on the grid inside loaded page in iframe

[manugoel2003]

simply call dialog.hide() on the double click event of grid row.... where dialog is the dialog object....

you know that grid is not in the same page it is in child page which is loaded in iframe in dialog
