Posting from a modal dialog

I have a modal dialog to edit a Notes field. When the Save button is
pressed, that field should save the Notes, close the dialog and leave
the parent window unchanged (don't refresh or post).

How can I accomplish that?

Posting from the modal dialog always pops up a new browser window.
And submitting from the parent sends the entire form (not just the
notes). Ideas?

I'm not quite sure what the problem is here... If you pop a modal dialog
(presumably you're using the non-standard window.showModalDialog method),
closing that dialog won't cause the parent window to refresh or post back
unless you explicitly code it...

Put the following in the header of the dialog window:

Try to avoid showModalDialog - they work only in IE and Safari...

Yes, I'm using showModalDialog to pop up the window. But when the
popup submits, it always opens a new browser window even with
target="_self". I read somewhere that there is no way to prevent that
behavior with a modal dialog. Is that incorrect?
