Question : Modal Window postback opens new windows instead of posting to itself!

I Opened a Modal window using:

function ShowNewPage()
{
window.showModalDialog("Sample.aspx","","width=400;height=200;");
}

On Sample.aspx, I have a web control LinkButton. If I click on it, something weird happened. Instead of post back to the same page (Sample.aspx), it opens another web page in a new window, which is unexpected behavior.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem and let modal web page post back to itself?

Thanks a lot.

Code Snippet:

function ShowNewPage() { window.showModalDialog("Sample.aspx",window,"width=400;height=200;"); }

How are your code that execute when you want to go back to Modal Window?

In HTML you can add a target="_self" to open in the same window.
