Modal Popup Extender blinks on page on initial page load

Hello,

I am getting some undesirable behavior from the modal popup extender control. Everything works fine except for the fact that when i load or reload the page, you can see the modal popup box at the bottom of the page blink for about 1 second and then disappear. Why does it do this? Has anyone else seen this before? I would rather not see the box blink at the bottom of the page when loading the page, it just looks weird. Other than that, it appears fine when i click my button. Its just annoying to see it on the page load.

Any ideas here?

usually you need to set the style='display:none'

awsome...that did the trick...in the panel tag i did this:

<asp:Panel ID="pnlModalCheckUser" runat="server" Height="110px" Width="250px" CssClass="modalPopup"style="display:none">

even though style didn't come up as a valid property for the asp:panel tag in intellisense. But it works, i'm assuming it just passed the style along to the processed div tag.

Thanks a bunch!

ModalPopup + Postback

Hi,

I've utilized the modalPopup control - and it works well - apart from the fact I can't figure out a way for it to postback?!

Any ideas?

Thank you.

anyone?

is it the one that you're looking for?

that's populating it based on a webservice.

i want server side actions to be performed once a user clicks a button in the modal box.

anyone else? this is quite urgent :(

what do you mean by performing server-side actions? why don't you call it through web service then?

i just didnt want to have to build a webservice - just in order to append some data to a database, which i wanted to handle through what seemed like a simple postback :(

Here is what i have so far.

A page with a modal extender.

If i link OkControlID to the button I want to perform any action - then it doesn't postback, and hence nothing happens.

If i don't link it using the above - then the action executes - BUT - modal extender continues to sit there, not closing.

So perhaps what I am after now is a way to close it? or link my button to postback, AND to close the modal popup.

any ideas?

thank you.

Hi RomanT,

Sounds like you should not use OkControlID, and then include MyModalExtender.Hide() at the end of your server side event handler.

Thanks,
Ted
