Adding Variable To Close function

FontanaS · Jul 25, 2006

I have the following code that uses javascript to close a window. -

<td align="right"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.opener=self;window.close();"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000080" size="4"><b>Close</b></font></a></td>

The problem is that I want to add -
Session("CanEdit") = "False" so it changes the value of the session variable when it closes. Otherwise I am stuck with that value when the user opens the form again.

that is ASP. ASP runs on the server, while javascript runs on the client.

maybe what you can do is have that link bring you to another page, which simply sets the session variable, then uses the onload event of the body tag to close the window.

I tried the following but still get an "object required" error -


<script language="javascript">
function changevalue()
{
<%=Session("CanEdit")%> = 'False';
}
</script>

which i would expect. my first suggestion will work for you. create a new ASP page, with this simple information:

Code:

<%
Session("CanEdit") = False;
%>

<html>
  <head><title></title></head>
  <body onload="window.close();"></body>
</html>

have your link be this:

Code:

<a href="mynewpage.asp">

now, can you see why this is ASP, and not a Javascript solution?
