<script type="text/ecmascript">
    var options;
        function portal_openModalDialog(pageUrl) {
            options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
            options.width = 600;
            options.height = 400;
            options.url = pageUrl;
            options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(null, CloseCallback);
            SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);

        function CloseCallback(result, target) {

            location.reload(true);
        }

        function init()

            var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            this.Web = context.get_web();
            context.load(this.Web);
            context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccess),
                Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFail));
        }

        function onSuccess(sender, args)

        {
            portal_openModalDialog("http://myserver/Pages/default.aspx?WebID=" + this.Web.get_id());
