I have for purposes of this discussion two web forms I'm working with : i)
main.aspx, ii) find.aspx.  From the main web form I have a button control
that opens a modeless dialog (find.aspx,,,) etc...  From the search page
[find.aspx], I have several web controls that are used to control a query
from SQL database [ex: name, location, start date, end date, rule #, etc...].

Overview - I open the modeless dialog without issue from main form
[main.aspx].  I control the query without issue in the search form
[find.aspx].  I've set the tag <base target=_self> to ensure requeries from
the search page repost to the same page - find.aspx.

Objective - After I update the search page with a table datasets (that's
dynamically constructed based on search criteria - and no issue / works
perfect), I also have created the first table column as an "anchor - via <a
href [some unique id] onclick event=[some javascript function]>.  What I WANT
to do is from the search page, depress ANY entry from the first column of
table - and have this unique ID saved as session variable / than have the
main web page update itself accordingly based on the ID selected.

ISSUE/HELP!!! - I'm not able to force the main page to repost and read the
session state variable!  Is this possible / using a search page to tell the
main page to update itself - how do I do this?

NOTE: I'm not using frames - and not sure how to tell system to have parent
repost - something like window.parent.opener.navigate(main.aspx) / this
doesn't work - but this is goal - use the modeless form to query database /
have the main page update itself based on selection from search page.

Kind regards for help/assistance in this matter,
David
