Atlas to AJAX- Open Modal Popup from Javascript

Hi,

I know that i can now show the modal popup server side but I have a case where i dont want or need a postback to show the popup. I have buttons in a repeater that and i simply show the modal on click...so in 'Atlas' i did this in javascript..

aspx..

<atlasT:ModalPopupExtenderID="ModalPopupExtender1"runat="server">

<atlasT:ModalPopupPropertiesID="MyPopup"

TargetControlID="Button1"PopupControlID="panModal"CancelControlID="btnCancel"

BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground"DropShadow="True"OkControlID="btnHiddenOK"/>

</atlasT:ModalPopupExtender>

Then in .js

$object("MyPopup")._show();

------AJAX-------

<ajaxT:ModalPopupExtenderID="ModalPopupExtender1"runat="server"

TargetControlID="Button1"PopupControlID="panModalPopup"CancelControlID="btnCancel"

BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground"DropShadow="True"OkControlID="btnHiddenOK"/>

And in .js...

$find("ModalPopupExtender1")._show();

Which doesn't work....Any ideas?

Also, I see properties in the control called Dynamic*; what are they for? Databinding?

Thx
Steve

bump... Anyone got a resolution for this?

Thx

I thnk that you need to use the show method instead of _show:

$find("ModalPopupExtender1").show();

The dynamic* properties appear to be related to dynamic population. See:

and search for "Easily adding dynamic population"
