Java Script showModalDialog Problem

In C#.net 3.5 I am opening a sub-window using JavaScript ShowModelDialog Function as below.

C#

function OpenChildWindow()
   {
       //open a new dialog window
       var sFeatures="dialogHeight: 650px;";
       sFeatures += "dialogWidth: 950px;";
       sFeatures += "dialogHide: 1;";
       sFeatures += "center: yes;";
       //sFeatures += "edge: sunken;";
       sFeatures += "scroll: no;";
       sFeatures += "status: yes;";
       sFeatures += "resizeable: yes;";
       sFeatures += "";
       var url = "LL_ADDRESS.aspx";
       entryWindow=window.showModalDialog (url, "LL_ADDRESS", sFeatures);
   }

The window opens and then I can edit in that.
But if I click on a simple button (say clear sub-window) in the sub-window then instead of clearing the sub-window, another (3rd) window is opening.

I want to avoide the opening of third window.
How do I achive this?

Thanks!!!
