I'm currently trying to set a modal window title dynamically from my stored procedure search and it works fine when I add it to the <UpdateControls><telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl> but even though it displays as it should, the window refuses to close now. I tried setting an individual UpdateControl just for the modal window but that did not work as well. A friend of mine suggested somehow using JavaScript to $find("modalComment.ClientID"); but I've never coded in javascript so this poses a bit of an issue to me. Has anyone else tried to set a dyanamic modal window titles from the backend code were able to close the window successfully?
What I currently have is:

    
                        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="gvSearchResults">  
        
                            <UpdatedControls> 
        
                                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="gvSearchResults" /> 
        
                                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="modalComment" /> 
        
                                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="rptComments" /> 
        
                                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="modalStatus" /> 
        
                                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="rptStatus" /> 
        
                            </UpdatedControls> 
        
                        </telerik:AjaxSetting>

This displays my title and dynamic content just as is should.

In my actual column that I want to call the window from an image button:

    
            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Title" HeaderText="Title" InitializeTemplatesFirst="false" SortExpression="Title">  
        
                                    <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                        <table cellspacing="0" width="100%">  
        
                                            <tr> 
        
                                                <%#Eval("Title") %> <asp:ImageButton ID="imgButton" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/icons/16/message_add.png" OnClick="fillModalComment" /> 
        
                                            </tr> 
        
                                        </table> 
        
                                    </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" /> 
        
                                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

and the working title code on the backend is:

    
                    public void fillModalComment(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        
                    {  
        
                        int reqID = 0;  
        
                        reqID = int.Parse(((ImageButton)sender).CommandArgument);  
        
                        rptComments.DataSource = Comments.GetComments(reqID);  
        
                        rptComments.DataBind();  
        
                        MainSearch ms = new MainSearch(reqID);  
        
                        string title = "Comments on " + ms.Title;  
        
                        int len = ms.Title.Length;  
        
                        if (title.Length < 40)  
        
                            modalComment.Title = title;  
        
                        else  
        
                            modalComment.Title = title.Substring(0, 40) + "...";  
        
                        modalComment.Show();  
        
                    }

Any ideas that may avoid the javascript? Or is javascript a necessity in this case?

Thanks in advance.
