ah got it, you dont want the add person page you need the search screen to be loaded after closing the dialog, am i correct?

If you're talking a "real" modal dialog, be aware it is internet explorer only.
That said, you probably have your order backwards. You have to first refresh, reload, or redirect (as you desire) the opener, then you can close the child (modal window).

Cheers for that nikkiH, that worked like a charm.

are there any specific features to open showmodal dialog for mozilla firefox in comparison with ie?

Nope it just works with IE

i tried porting a wordpress blog to CF but didn't work out? could smarty be used for a blog with CF? is it better than PHP? basically i was trying to build a lifestyle blog at http://www.pakistanigirls.org but found that wordpress templates pretty much sucked. i also wanted to include at least some community features such as article submission forms.

would Blog CFC be a good chioice?
