Wierd Server Problems Need Adjustment to Make showModalDialog work

[jm]

I have a parent .aspx and a child page .aspx.

The parent calls the child via showModalDialog.

The window opens.

In the modal dialog, I have:

window.returnValue = o;
window.close();

When the web pages are on XP Pro. using its IIS, the page returns the
value and closes - all is well.

However, on Windows server 2003, the modal dialog window returns the
values and instead of closing, the showModalDialog window turns into a
regular window (gets a little larger, not the dimensions I called it
with; if this matters) and does not close. The value is passed, but
the modal dialog page just sits there, transformed into a "regular"
window. It still have the buttons on it. If I hit the close button,
it will then work. What needs to be set on IIS 2003 to make this
work? Thank you for any help.

I found that by ensuring that the aspnet_client folder was in the right
place all my problems went away. Have no idea why.
