jQuery Forum

I need to open an external URL(an .aspx) using JQuery UI Dialog, but the thing is I need to pass parameters to the url and then retrieve those parameters from the .aspx

I used to use window.showmodaldialog(url,parameters) and then from the .aspx window.dialogArguments... But because Chrome deprecates "showmodaldialog" sentence, I need to replace it using JQuery UI Dialog.

My code now: (Im not sure if it's ok and can't figured out how to retrieve parameters from the .aspx)

HTML:

<div id='newPopup' title='Modal popup'>

JS:

        var URL = "https://serverName/page.aspx";
        var popup = $("#newPopup");
        popup.html("<iframe id ='asd' style='border: 0px;' src='" + URL + "' width='100%' height='100%'></iframe>");
        $("#newPopup").data('sharedObject',sharedObject);

        $("#newPopup").dialog({
            modal: true,
            height: 768,
            width: 1024,
            buttons: {
            Ok: function() {
                $( this ).dialog( "close" );
                }
            }
        });
