Hi,

A particular aspx page opens another aspx page through javascript.
Once the child window's work is done, the user presses a button in it.

And once that is done I need to perform these actions in the javascript methods of the child aspx window

C#

function fnSave(){
/*LINE 1: Replace this line with code to : Update an update panel in the opener window*/
/*LINE 2:*/ self.close();
}

This fnSave Javascript function (present in the child window) will be called on clicking of a button in the child window.

Can you help me the first part? The update action is just update. No parameters passed or anything. All my research on this are turning to be futile.

If UpdatePanel is in child page (child window) than what is the problem?
Use AsynPostBackTrigger or just place that button in UpdatePanel.

Or still I have not understood question?

As I've mentioned, the UpdatePanel is in the opener/parent window and not in the child window.

You can use

JavaScript

window.opener.document.forms(0).submit();

to submit parent page.

Or you can add a button control with style="display:none" and add this button to UpdatePanel's AsyncPostBackTrigger. Than create this function on parent page
