Trigger an event on another page

send the code which u did

suppose this is page.htm when u click the button it will pop up page2.htm
when u select from combo box it will be shown in textbox of page2.htm

-------page.htm--------------------

<script>
var mywin;
function popup()
{
mywin=window.open("page2.htm");
}

function selectChange()
{
mywin.document.getElementById("text1").value=select1.value
}
</script>

<select onchange=selectChange()>
<option value=abc>abc</option>
....
</select>

<input type=button name=b1 value=popup onclick=popup()>


----------------page2.htm-------------------

<input type=text id=text1>

Onchange events are only fired when the user makes a change (i.e. non-programatically).  To get around this problem I tend to write a function which takes a field as it's argument.  For example:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function e_onComboChange( oField ) {
  var sValue = oField.options[ oField.options.selectedIndex ];
  . . .
  < other code >
}
</SCRIPT>

Then on page 1 have the following event on the SELECT element:

<SELECT name="Combo" onChange="e_onComboChange(this)">

Then in the script in page 2 which changes the value of the drop down box call the event handler function.  Let's say that a variable called "page1" is a reference to the first page's window (i.e. the frame).  To call the event handler it would look something like:

function changeCombo() {
  < code to set value of drop down >
  . . .
  page1.e_onComboChange( page1.document.forms[0].Combo );
  . . .
}

Using this approach means that as long as you can get a handle on the field you can call the event handler whereever you wish.

This is a good idea and I will try and extend it further as the onChange action actually effects about 30 elements of Page1.

It still does not tell me if there is a way to trigger an event (apart from focus events) on a "remote" page. Like can I generate an onclick etc.

Thank you so much!

I had tried this and failed but your comment about it having to be in lower-case saved the day!!!!
