How to redirect in page opened by showModalDialog - so that the page will appear in the same window
Hi,
I use showModalDialog(url1 ...)
if in page with url1 I use document.location=url2 - url2 is opened in the different window. How to cause to open in the same window?

Use a frameset in the modal

thanks
calling showModalDialog works fine, but the problem is that it's good only if url2 was opened by showModalDialog as well.
The question is: in url2 can I know if it was opened by showModalDialog or window.open?

url2 is loaded in modaldialog right?

There was mistake in my question (sorry): The question is: in url1 (!!!) can I know if it was opened by showModalDialog or window.open?
url1 is sometimes loaded by using showModalDialog and sometimes by window.open
If I understand correct:
if it's loaded by showModalDialog - it should redirect to url2 by calling showModalDialog , if it's lded by window.open - it redirects by using document.location.
Unless, you can suggest solution that will work (=the page will be displayed in the same window)in both cases , no matter how it was loaded

page to open in showmodal
<frameset rows="100%,*">
<frame src="url1.html">
</frameset>
in the page:
if (top.dialogArguments) alert('I am opened by a showmodal')
However since you are now in a frameset, any window.location=url2
will work regardless

<frame src="url1.html">

could you, pelase be more specific?
let's give names:
from url0 - I want to open url1 in modal window
from url1 I want to open url2 in the same window
so where do I insert the frameset?

If I put
<frame src="url1.aspx"> - url1 is not displayed. Is it supposed to work with aspx pages?
<frame src="url1.aspx"> - url1 is not displayed. Is it supposed to work with aspx pages?
sure...
How does the rest of the page look?

I udnerstood what was teh issue with aspx: frameset has to be aspx as well.
but: url1.aspx had GET params (as you said it's a varible: url1.aspx?val=kuku
If so - Have I use your second way? (with dialogArguments) if so, it does not work .... I addd var before loc (since it said that loc is not defined and now frameset is opened but the url1 is not ....)

the probl;em is that top.dialogArguments.url1 is undefined!!! although I did define it's in url0:
var url1="...";
any idea????
var url1="...";

using the showModalDialog with the 2nd url and the same name as the first window!
