Well, once the value is stored in a hidden field, you can then post the form, and then set the sesssion variable by using the request object. There is no real way to set a server-side variable from client-side code without a trip to the server.

You are asking a lot here, but not providing the detail that I need to help.
My code above shows you how to pass the data from the child to the parent. I have also told you how to pass the data from your form to your session variable.
What is it exactly that you need help with at this point?

Sure, because the document.write takes place before the updated value is called. If you want to see the value, use the following:
function showValue(strFieldName){
alert(document.forms[0].el
}
and then call it like this:
<input type=button value="Show Hidden" onClick=showValue('strText
Fritz the Blank
function showValue(strFieldName){
alert(document.forms[0].el
}
and then call it like this:
<input type=button value="Show Hidden" onClick=showValue('strText

hi,
Thanks for ur replies.
I am sorry if I was unable to express myself clearly....
I have a main window which will pop up a new window.In the new window the user enters data and will submit it..
The data entered by the user should be updated in the main window and the new pop up window should be closed...i am using jsp files here...
The popup-window contains a form like this:
<form action="mainfile.jsp" target="main" method="post">
....
....
ie: it points back to the mainfile and to the window(main) that opened the popup-window. The problem here is closing the popup-window after form-submission.
onSubmit="self.close()" in popup form but its not working.could u tell me the reason

Don't use the submit function! Look, please take a few minutes to study the example I gave you above. It will work exactly the way that you need it to. Save the files as main.jsp and popup.jsp if you need to (of course, you will have to change the code a little bit) but the idea is exactly the same.

hi fritz,
thanks for ur reply..i really appreciate it.....
can u please tell me if i can display the updated contents of hidden tags in the main window and in some desired location (may be in a table) without the need to press the button to display them in an alert box.

Well, then they wouldn't be hidden, right?
The very first example I provided shows the updated content without an alert box. The alert box was there only to prove to you that the data in the field had changed--you don't need it for things to work.

hi,
thanks for the answer....
i think my problem of getting data is answered.But,to display data on the main window i need to find a way.If the solution u proposed is used, i will get data in the text box in the main window.I can disable the textbox but is there any way to prevent the user from realising that it is a text box.

You could try creating a div and set the text for the div to that of the text box. The textbox could then be a hidden field so that you can pick up the value with the request object when you post the form.

could u be more clearer???and will it work in netscape too??
Okay, look. I have already answered your first question, and now you seem to be piggy backing a new question on to the old one. Please close this question out and post a new question regarding how to display the content of a hidden field in a div tag.
