I have a task to run that builds a data grid. The grid maybe up to 1000 lines. I open the grid in a new window. I was hoping there was a way to have the window open in a new thread and allow the person to continue to browse the site while the grid is building. Is this possible? If someone could point me in the correct direction I would be happy. Thank you in advance.

Solution 1

Opening in a new window is irrelevant here, you want to look at technologies like AJAX, - go on, google it -, which will allow you to asynchronous operations on your pages.

Solution 2

The second browser window should not block operation of the first browser window. Are you experiencing that behavior (that is, the first window being blocked while the second window loads)?

Dear brsecu,

Put your grid in a new aspx page and open it using the following javascript code (open it as a popup) so the user can continue working on the parent page.

XML

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function OpenGridPage() {
            window.open('PageUrl');
        }
    </script>

Regards,
Jamil
