Question

i am using ajax modal popup in sharepoint, but the assembly references some are missing and if i am trying to put those assembly references, the page is going to error page. Is there any other alternative other than using ajax control popup in sharepoint. I want to show popup badly in my current project. Please help me regarding this

You can use commonShowModalDialog() which is used by SharePoint by default. Here is a sample snippet

//Opens the popup window
function openPopup()
{
    commonShowModalDialog("/_layouts/samplepage.aspx", "resizable: yes; status:no; scroll: no; help: no; center: yes; dialogwidth:410px; dialogHeight:300px;", callback);
}

//callback function to retrieve any values from popup
function callback(ret)
{
    alert(ret);
}

To return a value from the popup use window.returnValue. Hope it helps.
