Cloase iframe Colorbox with .Net submit button

Question

I have a simple login form invoked for a colorbox link and opening in a iframe.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $(".logincb").colorbox({iframe:true, innerWidth:240, innerHeight:200});

    });
</script>

<li><a href="/login/login.aspx" class="logincb">login</a></li>

The issue I have having is once the user has correctly entered there login details in the ifrmae, which is checked via a post back in the code behind how can I redirect the parent page and close the frame?

Answer 1

With using a .Net buttons in the form is all makes it a bit strange in the end what I did was include the following function in the page

  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

        function closePage() 
        {
            parent.$.fn.colorbox.close(); parent.location = '/support/marketing-media.aspx';
        }

</script>

then called it in the code behind button event using the ClientScript manager.

  if (!ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered("alert"))
                {
                    Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(),"alert", "closePage();", true);
                }

Not really a fan of this as its ugly, but it works..
