Hi
We have a big webapplication with innumerable popups in our application and we have support only for Internet Explorer . With the increased complexity and troubles faced by using window.open , we are planning to replace them with the modal dialogs which included changes in major amount as the interacation between the pareny and the popup differs a lot ....
is that a good idea to adopt to these Modal Dialogs ?? And the complexities which we faced while using the normal popup is
1. User opening multiple popups and not closing them ...(Ofcouse now we had adopted the strategy of opening the same window when the user clicks the same popup link again)
2. On Clicking the button in the popup , we need to pass the data to the parent and then refresh that ...But if the user has done some operations in the parent , the parent window object is lost thus making the operation a failure .
and many more..
