Lotus Notes web form. Submit button does not close window

The problem that this gives me is that for each section I have Next and Back buttons. Pressing any of these now tries to close the window. I have a field value that is set each time the buttons are pressed and this is used to activate the hide formulas.
The value in this field 'Display' is set to "9" at the point when the Submit button is visible.
I am not familiar with Javascript, how would I write the equivalent of

@If(Display="9";Close Window;Null)

into the submit event.

Thanks.

Do you really want the window to close? I would have thought normal practice would be for the user to be redirected elsewhere after the form had been submitted. Unexpected window closures/popups generally isn't good UI design (so I keep reading).

What I normally do is either redirect the user back to some sort of home page, or often the same document as has just been submitted, only in read mode. It depends on the situation really I guess.

To answer your javascript question (I'm only just learning myself) -

You'll need to get a handle on the value first, so you'd need to do something like:

var disp = document.forms[0].display.value;
if (disp=='9') { self.close();}

That should be it.

P.S. You may find WebQuerySave agents useful when you want certain actions to occur upon saving/submitting a doc on the web. Worth a read in the designer help.

P.P.S. You might find jQuery useful if you're going to be doing lots of javascript work on your pages, it's absolutely wonderful, very easy to learn and bypasses much of the complexity of bare javascript.

I do want the form to close leaving the original window behind.

If I add this code I get the error.
Error: document.forms[0].display is undefined

It seems because I haven't declared the Notes form name that is PSatisfaction

Any idea how to declare this name?

Cheers

I think javascript is case sensitive - is your display field upper or lower case D? Fix the code accordingly.

Secondly, I've just noticed that this only works once the form has been saved.

Maybe someone else would be better helping with this one. Thought I knew how to do this, but clearly I don't!

No problem.  In you're 'Save' action button, set the value of a hidden field named 'CloseWindow' to '1'.  Then, in your form's onSubmit event, just check the field value before closing the form -- it will only contain a '1' if the user clicked the 'Save' button.  Also, you should have a WebQuerySave agent setup for this form so that it can remove the CloseWindow field.
