No one has any clues about this? I can't get the DNN popup to work as a Server Redirect OR a Hyperlink within the codebehind page.

However, if I hardcode the Hyperlink version of the code directly on the ASCX page as a simple [A HREF], it works.

I have to be missing something. Can anyone please help me? I am on a project deadline and I could really use some assistance here.

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately I already came across your BLOG and it didn't work for me.

When I use the Server Redirect method:
- If I use NavigateURL() to format the URL, it doesn't work at all. I get a blank page.
- If I use EditURL() to format the URL, I get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. Apparently Response.Redirect() doesn't like Javascript...?
- If I use EditURL() to format the URL and parse out the Javascript portions...
...I see the page (plainly w/ no container) and not as a Popup, just a regular page.

When I use the Hyperlink method:
- If I use NavigateURL() to format the URL, it doesn't work at all. I get a blank page.
- If I use EditURL() to format the URL, the Popup appears for a split second, then closes.
- Note: Pre-pending "return " to UrlUtils.PopUpUrl() causes Javascript error, badly formatted code

Ben,

This code will never properly open a popup for you.

strRedirectURL = EditUrl("ProviderOptions_List") 
Me.cmdTrainings.Attributes.Add("OnClick", strRedirectURL) 

You are missing key elements of the process - namely - you need to make sure the OnClick is properly formatted with the script code that is needed to make the magic happen - this part of the process is handled bu the PopUpUrl() method - And that is its ONLY job - it does not format the URL - its job is to take the target url and create a javascript call that allows the popup to function.  = And most significantly it appends "&popUp=true" to the end of the eventual URL.

The reason your popup is opening and then automatically closing again . . . is that the popUp=true query parameter is missing - the popup javascript code looks at the url of the page its displaying - if it does not find popup=true in the url it closes the popup.

Have a look at this code:

strRedirectURL = EditUrl("ProviderOptions_List") 

cmdTrainings.NavigateUrl = strRedirectURL;

popupHeight = 500;
popupWidth = 900;

if ((PortalSettings.EnablePopUps )
{
       cmdTrainings.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return " + UrlUtils.PopUpUrl(cmdTrainings, this, PortalSettings, true, false, popupHeight, popupWidth));

}

Note as a side comment - if you want your POPUP to be able to redirect to another PAGE inside the popup - you need to make sure that the &popUp=true parameter is also passed around to the new page - otherwise the popup will close
