Does anybody know a way to open the dialog window next to the button that opens the window? If you do not have the InitialLocation attribute set to Centered, the window opens right where it is placed on the page. I know you can specify the top and left attributes, but how do I locate where the button is on the page?

 

I believe the easiest way to do that is to use the built-in ASP.NET AJAX Sys.UI.DomElement.getLocation() client-side method. Example:

var element = e.target; (the HTML element where click is registered)

var j = Sys.UI.DomElement.getLocation(element);
var x = j.x;
var y = j.y;

getLocation() is officially documented by Microsoft here:
