title: Parent page spawn modal window, button on modal windw cause trigger postback on parent?
body: <p>I have a asp.net webform.
  There's a few fields on the form that the user will fill out.
  There is a hyperlink that opens a modal window (I'm using jquery &amp; prettyphoto, but may switch to <a href="http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal/</a> because his documentation is better)</p>
  
  <p>The modal window contains an iFrame where the user makes a selection and saves a record.</p>
  
  <p>At this point I need to close that window and trigger a postback on the parent page.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I have a hyperlink on the last page where the target = parent and href = the parent page url.
  Then I have a javascript that autoclicks it. I know it's a cheap hack.
  It then sends the user back to the parent page, however the pages is reloaded and all the original data is lost. <em>This is the problem.</em></p>
  
  <p><strong>What's the best way to do this?</strong></p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
