you can call the modal dialog page as <br />
var retVal = window.showModalDialog(&quot;Sh<wbr />owMailDeta<wbr />il.aspx<br />
<br />
and in the modal dialog before closing the window you have to set <br />
returnValue = &quot;your return string should be specified here&quot;;
</div>


you can call the modal dialog page as
var retVal = window.showModalDialog("ShowMailDetail.aspx

and in the modal dialog before closing the window you have to set
returnValue = "your return string should be specified here";

<div>
use window.returnValue in the document loaded in showModalDialog window. That can be accessed as a return value of the method call like below<br />
<br />
var returnData = window.showModalDialog(&quot;te<wbr />st.html&quot;);<wbr /><br />

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
