Why Postback open a new window..?

Dear all expert,

I use javascript to open a modal dialog window
window.showModalDialog('child.aspx');

but in my child.aspx, got a button, when I click the button, it will do
the postback, mean that it shoul refresh the page.. but in my case, the open
another window...
why this happen ? isn't the postback will only refresh in the same window ?

Am I missing something ? Please kindly point me my mistake...

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Bsiang.it's a limitation of the ModalDialog....
