window.open that will not return until the popup is done -- Gorlist --
I have a main.aspx and a popup.aspx. I use RegisterClientScriptBlock in main.aspx to call a clientside window.open to open the popup.aspx. The popup.aspx processes some very time consuming actions that the user should not wait around for - hence the popup. My problem is that while the popup.aspx is processing, the main.aspx cannot complete a roundtrip to the server. If I press a button (or any other server control) the main.aspx simply 'hangs' until the popup.aspx has completed. 1. Why? 2. Is there a way that I can open a popup.aspx that works on its own while the user can continue browsing and roundtripping in the main.aspx? 3. Is threading necessary? |
