LinkButton + showmodaldialog not working

Question

What would be the west way to open a window.showModalDialog on linkbutton when updating a form?

I have a linkbutton on form that allows me to update the data, I want to be able to check if the data updatedin this case , parameter status of client is active I want to be able to open a window to fill some more information.

 Public Function OpenWindowRquest(ByVal URL As String) As String
    If accountMode = "1" Then
       Return "window.showModalDialog('" & Page.ResolveUrl(Server.UrlEncode(URL)) & "', window,'resizable:yes; scroll:on; status:yes; dialogWidth:750px; dialogHeight:350px; center:yes');"
                Else
        accountMode = ""
        Return ""
    End If

On aspx side I have

<asp:LinkButton id="UpdateButton" runat="server" commandName="Update" Text="Update" OnClientClick='<%# OpenWindowRequest("myurl.aspx") %>'></asp:LinkButton>

I also tried to call the function OpenWindowRequest on FormUpdating event but it doesnt work, window is not opened.

Your linkbutton is not rendered correctly. Please set your OnClientClick property in the code behind at Page_Prerender. Furthermore you have different method names in markup and code, you mispelled "Rquest".

UpdateButton.OnClientClick = OpenWindowRquest("myurl.aspx")
