Question

Get value from pop-up to main window

Asked by: fmufti

I have a form in which there are certain fields which are filled with drop down compbo boxes(lookup fields) no if the value is not there users can dd it, by clicking the link 'ADD' that opens a 'Open browser Window'. Now that opens another page in pop up , and user can add new value, which is added in the table, from which I am driving my compbo box of the first page.
In the pop up window when I press 'Submit' form the new version of the fist page gets displayed. But I want that the page gets closed and the value be available to my already opened page. Its very common in sites when we fill forms, such as selecting 'Job' etc.

In your child form (pop up), after you click the 'Submit' button, it will post to a page that insert the new value into database, after the process is done, we can include the javascript to close the pop up window itself and then refresh its parent window (opener). The javascript will be like:

<Script language="Javascript">
      window.opener.location.reload();
      window.close();
</script>

Sorry, as i was busy developing the applications, i'm now less time can particiapate in EE to help answering questions.

For your problem:

>>Now the problem is that the winodow opens and gets closed automatically , dont even give me time to fill in.

The ASP Script and the Submit form should be separated into 2 forms.

So this should be like this:

in parent form, add this:

<script languange="Javascript">
     function NewWindow(mypage, myname, w, h, scroll, resizable) {
            var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;
            var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;
            winprops = 'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+wint+',left='+winl+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable='+resizable
            win = window.open(mypage, myname, winprops)
            if ((!win||(window.win&&win.closed))==false) {
                  if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) { win.window.focus(); }      
            }
      }


function openChild() {
   NewWindow("child.asp","child","800","570","Yes","Yes");
}


</script>

and a button to open child window:
<input type="button" name="Open" value="Open Child" onclick="javascript:openChild();">

In your child.asp:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form method="post" action="process.asp" name="form1">
  <table align="center">
    <tr valign="baseline">
      <td nowrap align="right">Author:</td>
      <td>
        <input type="text" name="Author" value="" size="32">
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr valign="baseline">
      <td nowrap align="right">&nbsp;</td>
      <td>
        <input type="submit" value="Insert Record" name="insertBut">
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="true">
</form>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</body>
</html>

finally, as in the process page (process.asp), put the ASP script here:

And it should able to reload the parent forms after the form (child.asp) is submitted.

Still having problems:-
1. The parent opens the child window. However, when I submit form, the child refreshes and start showing the parent form, while my original parent is already open. THE CHILD SHOULD CLOSE SO THAT THE USER FALLS BACK TO PARENT AFTER REFRESHING.
2. From two pages we have moved to three, since Ihave 3-4 pop up windows opening from my parent, it would be cumbersome. Can u accomodate the code in PARENT and CHILD only.

 

by: fmuftiPosted on 2003-10-09 at 20:49:54ID: 9525201

I have broken the ice. I have placed the closewindow java function on the on click event of the button of the form. So the popup window is closing, but still there is one problem.
The parent window needs to be refreshed and after refreshing it should it retain the values of other text/combo boxes. What I mean to say is, if the user has entered Title, date and through popup added the author in the combo. Once the pop up is closed. The form in parent window should retain the values of Title and date so that the user does not have to write them again and the values in the author combo gets updated for the user to select.

>>The parent window needs to be refreshed and after refreshing it should it retain the values of other text/combo boxes
One of the method will be save what user entered into session when you try to open the child window.

like:

parent window > click open button to show child window.

before you open the child window, actually it post the parent page to a parse page so that the values are saved into session, after that you open the child window via Javascript.

Example like:

parent.asp
