Getting control id in javascript
Hi,
I have 4 different html buttons next to text boxes which when clicked pops up a window a common window called commment.htm.The user types in the comments in the pop up box and press save button,the text is saved in the text box present on the main page.Now i have this script for the pop up window
function save(text)
{
window.opener.document.for
self.close();
}
</script>
now can any one tell me how do i pass in the value of different text box using if condition.
THanks.

but in the main window im calling javascript function
<script>
function editText(e)
{
text = e.value;
window.open("edit.htm?curr
}
</script>
<input onclick="editText(this.for
<script>
function editText(e)
{
text = e.value;
window.open("edit.htm?curr
}
</script>
<input onclick="editText(this.for
The if condition would work like this:
function save(text) {
var targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition"; // this is default
if (condition==1) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition1";
if (condition==2) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition2";
window.opener.document.for
self.close();
}
function save(text) {
var targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition"; // this is default
if (condition==1) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition1";
if (condition==2) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition2";
window.opener.document.for
self.close();
}
Here's one way:
<input onclick="global1='txtAutho
Here's another 2 ways (may need some tweaking or fixing):
<input onclick="global1=this.form
or
function editText(e)
{
global1=e.form.txtbx.name;
text = e.value;
window.open("edit.htm?curr
}
-----
Make sure global1 is defined OUTSIDE of any function in the main window, like this:
var global1;
<input onclick="global1='txtAutho

can you tell me how do i put in condition.Because i got id for html buttons so how do i put it in the condition.
function save(text) {
var targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition"; // this is default
if (condition==btn1) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition1";
if (condition==btn2) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition2";
window.opener.document.for
self.close();
}
if i directly put the values of button in the condition will this work or do i have to use the getelementbyid.
function save(text) {
var targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition"; // this is default
if (condition==btn1) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition1";
if (condition==btn2) targetField = "txtAuthorityPosition2";
window.opener.document.for
self.close();
}

Forget that if conditions. Take either my querystring parameters in my last post or callrs global var proposal.
I did not understood your last sentance. Now I do. You need NOT to access the fields always with getElementById() method.
You can do it also traditionaly as I do it alsways do: as form elemets collection:
document.formName.fieldNam
And because the field selector can be a String you can do it like this:
document.formName["fieldNa
Or as var String value:
document.formName[targetFi

Thank for the quick reply but i guess im not able to convey my question right to you guys.
Actually i have 4 text boxex and 4 buttons next to each text box.On click of the any button it opens a pop up window.But when i fill the pop up window with the text ...its the text box next to the button clicked that should be populated.Then when i click other button then again it pops up comments window i fill in the comments then press the save button then the textbox next to that button is saved.so how do i pass in the value of those.

man..im getting confused now....not able to get this... :(
More on global: When a button is clicked, set a global variable to equal the name of the corresponding input box -- so if button # 1 is clicked, then the global points to input #1, if button # 2 gets clicked then the global holds the name of input #2 etc.
So all the popup has to do is access that global to fill in the appropriate text field.

Solved? lol, just as I strived to explain...
Did Zvonko's work?
:-p I broke an appointment to stay here to explain seeing how confused you said you were. Least you could have done was wait for more input. But no part credit even...

You should not break your appointments outside of EE. That are first signs that you got ill by pointz virus ;-)
'tis not mainly about points, though that's a bonus
Aaaa! Carma! :)
Not exactly
Karma? Was far from mind. Just a sucker at times. Too helpful for my own good lol. Working for free for years...well now it's got me points...Hmm. but at a site that won't share the answers as freely as it depends on on others...

All to prove a point I guess: that I'm not so undeserving of even basic respect and resources so many make me & other progressives out to be.

The basics of Boolean algebra does not yield always true for negated negative true ;-)
When user clicks button in the main window, set the global variable to indicate the name of textbox you want filled. E.g.
<input type=button onclick="global1='txtAutho
Then in the child window:
function save(text)
{
window.opener.document.for
self.close();
}
