<base target="_self">

Sticking that in the header of the ASPX page you're targetting with .showModalDialog() gets the same results....without resorting to the overhead of IFRAME.

Hasn't the target attribute been deprecated?

IIRR turning smartnavigation ON on the aspx that appears in the modal dialog window also gets around this problem. YMMV.

HI,

I've been struggling with this all day. I used the dummy <Iframe> .html, but had a hard time getting the returnvalue.

I put in the <base....> tag info and that works.

But I am still having trouble getting the returnvalue.

In my Parent window I have
code....
arrModal = window.showModalDialog
("popup.asp",, _
"dialogHeight:30;
dialogWidth:33;edge:Raised;center:Yes;help:No;resizable:No;status:No;")

msgbox arrmodal

in my popup window I have.

code.....
window.returnvalue = "HERE I BE"
window.close

The value of arrModal in the parent window when the popup is close is null.

any ideas? It seems so straight forward.

Elisabeth, I've heard of this from others but I never had the time to actually check it out. If you don't have problems of security/confidentiality of data, I know that a lot of people used this workaround: you can put your results on a cookie generated for the purpose (use as ID a GUID supplied from the caller at the dialog opening) and retrieve (and delete) it from the caller page as the dialog closes. Let me know if it worked for you.

window.returnvalue = "HERE I BE"
should be

window.returnValue = "HERE I BE"

I had trouble getting the return value.
I dont know why, but everytime I tried to get the value I just got undefined.

What you can is to define a variable in the opener window and then pass it as the dialogArguments and modify it like:
window.dialogArguments = "new value"

or even better, you can pass the window object as a reference and then update or use any variable.
window.dialogArguments.var1 = "new value";
window.dialogArguments.var2 = "new value";

just open the window this way:
window.showModalDialog("url.htm",window);

I hope this helps.

By the way, thanks for the other tips. I've tried none, but I hope one of those will work for me.

It's weird that doesnt happens with html pages.

Great tip!
The <base target="_self"> part works great for me!
Thank you very much!
