I hope this is an easy question. I'm writing a web application and when a user clicks a button, a small pop-up window needs to open with various input controls.

How do I set the size and position of this aspx form when it opens so that it is small and in the middle of the screen?

Thanks

You can only control the window size when the url is opened from the client through a clientside script block. You could do something tricky like doing a redirect with window.open and then closing the first window with window.close. Then only one window will be open and you will have opened a new window so you can set the size. I don't remember the syntax but that's generally how you do it.

You need client-side code to pop open another browser window. However, you can use server-side code to dynamically add the size constraints to the client-side code:

<script language="javascript">
    function openWindow()
    {
       var wnd = window.open(
           'somePage.aspx?id=<% =id %>', 
           'Page Title', 
           'width=<% =width %>,height=<% =height %>');

       return false;
    }
</script>

Then you can call the javascript function in an onclick handler for a button for instance ...

<input type="button" onclick="return openWindow();">

I bow to thee Oh Great Gurus IWillDoIt and Raymcd. You've given me the exact concepts and code snippet I need.

Thank you so much.
