Hi,
Basically I would like to know the simplest way of using pop up windows to gather information then feed it back to the parent page?
I am using ASP mainly, but am guessing it's going to involve some JavaScript?!?
Any help gratefully received,
Cheers,
Sparky.
One way is the InputBox, where the user can enter text values. Another would be to popup a small page in a window and then return the values to the parent page.
Best way has always been to use a form and submit to the same/next page.
Thanks mendhak,
Do you have any examples of how to use a pop up page in a small window as this would be preferable. Basically I am getting a user to enter data but I dont have space for all the data so I would like to use a pop up form and then put it all into one string before returning it to a field on the parent page.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
Sparky.
Copy paste:
Code:<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function windowOpen() {
var
myWindow=window.open('popup.htm','windowRef','width=200,height=200');
if (!myWindow.opener) myWindow.opener = self;
}
//--></script>
<input name="openPopup" type="button" id="openPopup"
onClick="Javascript:windowOpen();" value="Get Value" />
<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="text" value="" name="output"></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
THE POPUP FORM (popup.htm)
<html>
<head>
<title>The Popup</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function updateOpener() {
window.opener.document.forms[0].output.value =
document.forms[0].inputX.value;
window.close();
}
//-->
</script>
EventId:
<input type="text" name="inputX"></input>
<input name="Close" type="submit" id="Close"
onClick="Javascript:updateOpener()" value="Close"></input>
</body>
</html>
Thanks very much for that, just what i needed.
Cheers,
Sparky.
