I am trying to use the AJAX modal popup on a click event from a
gridview. Any ideas on implementing this? The AJAX control is looking
for a TargetControlID that will trigger the popup but the button field
in the grid does not have an ID.

Hi,

you can use an invisible button for the TargetControlID. Just place a button
on your form and set "display: none;" in the style of the button (or assign
a CSS class that hides it). After that you can call the "show()" method of
the modal popup from your event.

Note that you cannot use "Button.Visible = false" because that would not
render the button to the output HTML!

Ciao,

I guess I did not completely explain what I am doing. I have a select
button in the grid so the user can select a row in the grid and on the
event I pass that row of data to another, modal, window. I want to
replace the existing window.showModalDialog call I have with the AJAX
modal window.
In a template field I can add a button but in order to have the modal
window open on the select button event I would need to tie it to the
button_click event for the AJAX modal to open.
 
Hi,

why don't you use Button control directly on grid (instead of ButtonField)?

I need reference to the row of data that is being selected. If I don't
use the select button I don't get it.
