POPUP Submit

Doing a little more research, It looks like rather than submit the form to the new page, i can just open the child page, and then edit the parents form elements.

Can someone help me find out how to do this?

For example, Parent page has a form with a textbox "names".
I need to get the value of "names" to use in my new child popup.

Thanks in advance.

Depending on your needs, you could use window.open("pagename.asp?var1=value1&var2=value2&var3=value3&quot

It will allow you to specify size of the browser, location, etc.

Here is a link that explains window.open

Another way is window.shoeModalDialog. This gives you similar features but they must complete this window before returning to the parent window. There are limitations on this though. You cannot submit the form in the modal dialog. You can only return a string back to the parent.


There is also a window.showModelessDialog
Depending on you needs, here are a few of choices.

Yes, you could exchange any HTML control value through frame. Following is the syntax for passing data from Child to Parent frame.

parent.frames['framename'].Fr.txtSample.value = '123';
parent.frames['framename'].divSample.innerHTML = '123';

also, you could get the value from there by,

totPg = parent.frames['framename'].Fr.txtSample.value;

Just for your reference.
