Can I echo results of a query in a pop up window?

skootz · Feb 6, 2003

Hi, I'm using the following piece of code to check if users have entered data into a form . . .

if((!$first_name) || (!$last_name) || (!$company) || (!$email_address) || (!$username)){
echo 'You did not submit the following required information! ';
if(!$first_name){
echo "First Name is a required field. ";
}
if(!$last_name){
echo "Last Name is a required field. ";
}
if(!$company){
echo "Your Company Name is a required field. ";
}
if(!$email_address){
echo "Email Address is a required field. ";
}
if(!$username){
echo "Desired Username is a required field. ";
}

I was wondering how I echo the results of my query in a pop up window, rather than on a blank page - is this possible?

Thankyou in advance!

You can open a window from a Javascript function. Use something like this:

var doc = winMyWindow.document;
doc.open();
doc.write(str);
doc.close();
winMyWindow.focus();

...where the contents of 'str' is already set to a string containing the code for a standard page, such as '<html><title>Message</title><body>.......etc.'

Take a look at your HTML documentation. Specifically, the "target" attribute of the "form" tag. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

THANKYOU!!

I didn't realise you could specify a target within a form......DOH!
As always I was looking for the complicated answer when there is a simple one just staring right at me.

Thanks again!
