Question

User1563635937 posted

I need to open a data entry page in a modal popup and after submitting form keep the popup open so user can add multiple entries.

Once user is done with entries and closes popup, need to refresh parent page.  Used to use window.parent.location.reload() but this no longer works.

browser: ie9

Hi vbob,

I’d like to know what modal popup are you using. If you are using AJAX Control Toolkit ModalPopupExtender, you could open the modal popup after you submit the form using

ModalPopupExtender1.Show();

Or open it using javascript.

If you are using some jQuery Modal Popup plugins, you could check API documentation to find the method or option that could open modal popup, something like this.

$("#myModal").modal("show");

Besides, The reload() method could reload the current document, which does the same as the reload button in your browser. You could debug your code to check the value of

window.parent.location
