[Solved] Radwindow closing after <asp:RequiredFieldValidator> popup

[Marc]

We have an "ADD" asp:LinkButton to add values inside a radwindow. We Use
OnClientClick="GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.location.reload();GetRadWindow().Close()" to add the value and refresh the parent page.

using <asp:RequiredFieldValidator> if an error pops up after hitting the add linkbutton the window closes. Anyway to prevent the window for closing upon validation error? Looking to keep user inside radwindow to fix error before closing the window.

<code used to close radwindow>


function GetRadWindow()
{
    var oWindow = null;
    if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow;//Will work in Moz in all cases, including clasic dialog
    else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;//IE (and Moz az well)
    return oWindow;
} 

function CloseOnReload()
{
    GetRadWindow().Close();
}

function RefreshParentPage()
{
    GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.location.reload();
}

Hello Marc,

Generally speaking when you have validation errors, postback is not performed and server code does not execute. When the validation has passed successfully, the page is postbacked and the server code is executed.

Therefore I suggest to execute the script which closes the RadWindow in the server-side eventhandler of the link button. In this manner, when the validation fails, it will not be executed and the RadWindow will not be closed. If the validation is successful the closing script will be executed and the window will close.

I prepared a sample project which demonstrates the desired functionality - you can find it in the attached archive file.
