I am working on this ASP.Net where I have to implement a modal pop-up, and I am hesitating on how to achieve this. I have various solutions in mind, but I don't find them elegant enough. First, I have been hesitating between using ASp.Net ModalPopupExtender and using jQuery to display the modal pop-up. I prefer jQuery, but I am afraid of incompatibilities. On the other hand, when I used Modal Popup Extenders in the past, I found the code a bit convoluted. Microsoft's stuff works well when doing things as they think you should do them, but most of the time, the requirements I get are for scenarios that are different for which Microsoft's controls do not work out of the box.Second, I am hesitating between loading partial html and using an iFrame in the modal pop-up. I would prefer to avoid using an iFrame, since it is a bit more complicated then to control the modal pop-up and doing things like closing the modal pop-up by pressing on a button within the iFrame (I know ways of doing it, but I find them a bit awkward). However, I don't know how to present a sequence of pages of content within the modal pop-up, as shown in the example below, without using an iFrame. Can it be done?First, there is a main page with a link to open de Modal Pop-Up:
In the initial Modal Pop-Up, some information is displayed and it is possible to close de pop-up or to start some processing:
Then a Please Wait message is displayed in the modal pop-up during the processing:
Once the processing is done, a summary of the result is displayed in the pop-up. At this point, it is possible to either click on a link to see more details or to click on a button to close the modal pop-up:
If the user clicks on a link to see details, these are displayed in the modal pop-up. The pop-up has to be resized:
