    HTML locked popup

    Hello,

    I use vba to scrub data from a specific website. I've been using javascript to interact with most of the site however I have run into a problem.

    One of the sites has a popup with a locked addressbar and I can't figure out how to 'inject' my code in order to grab variable data. Ideally I want to change the variables within the pop up window.

    The main proplem I am having is that the pop up loads with a locked addressbar. I believe it has to do with the function which calls the pop up:


    Code:
    function launchFeatures(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h)
    {
       var m,u;
       var tn =  document.test.subservtn[i].value;
       if ( tn == null || tn == "" ) 
       {
          alert ("test")    
          return false;
        }
       
       u = "./feature.jsp?subidx=" + a + "&a=" + b + "&b=" + c + "&c=" + d + "&d=" + e + "&e=" + f + "&f=" + g + "&g=" + h;
       openBrWindow(u,'locked','scrollbars=1,resizable=1');     
       return true;
    }
    The funtion which opens the child window is openBrwindow and as you can see it launching in the locked state. I have tried running openbrwindow('google.com') and it still launches a new window with a locked address bar.

    This is a jsp site so from what I understand that function will only return a locked window state. Is there any way for me to manipulate and/or read the code from this child window? Any help would be appreciated!

    then get an extension that changes the user agent, and modify it to IE.

    This has nothing to do with the problem.

    Your question doesn't make complete sense to me. Sounds like you should just copy and paste the URL of the child window into a new browser window/tab.

    I can copy into another browser window but it breaks the link with the parent window. Basically, the pop up has a bunch of settings which the user can apply and then go to the parent window to update the change.

    If I open in a new window I can get read access and view the settings, which is nice, but I'd like to be able to modify the settings as well.

    Use a newer version of IE — from version 7 onwards the location bar cannot be hidden.
