open a pop up window from a datagrid

[choudhmh]

Hi Guys,
Using the script below i'm trying to open a pop up window:

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<a id="description" target="_newwindow" href="<%# "details.aspx?bcstid=" & DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "BoilerCoverSupplierTariffID") %>"> Full Description </a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

At present the link opens up as a new window. But i want to change this to open as a pop-up window. Does anyone knows what i need to amend to make this function take place.

Thanks
Mac

what do you mean by pop-up window?

you have .show and .showdialog

the difference is show opens, and code after it continues to run, show dialog shows the form as a dialog box, and the code after it waits till the dialog is closed.

sorry - i just don't understand what you need exactly

the above column is a hyperlink column. the target=_newwindows opens the details from that column in a new window. Instead of openning this in a new window i want it to open as a pop-up window .

does this make it clearer.

Basically, a pop-up window is a window that is usually smaller then the parent, and usually lacking standard features. A digression of some sort.

I believe this link has your answer:
