onsubmit event

[marianmarian]

hi,

i am working on this form:

in the form i have a button, when you click on the button, a new window is opened, but before a new window is opened, it submit the form fields. for a new window to be opened, i parse the new window link with an id.

problem, id is blank as an id is auto generated from the database, and i cannot parse it together while the form submit and a new window is opened at the same.

question, is there a way that i can grab that id from the database and parse it immediately to the url link and open a new window.

note also that when i click on the button that is supposed to open the new window, the button submit the form fields as well on click.

thanks,
Marianmarian

Sure you can submit the form and open the window:

function OpenNewWin(id){
   document.formName.submit();
   Window.Open(("some.asp?intID="+id+"", "title", "toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,resize=no,width=250,height=120,top=300,left=500");
}
<input type="button" name="submit" value="Submit" onClick="OpenNewWin(<%=rs("ID")%>);"

thanks for the help, but somehow i am not getting the window to be opened:

<script>
function openWin()
{
document.myForm.submit();
Window.Open("add.php?id=$theID&screen=group&sid=$gID','Collaboration','width=600,height=400");
}
</script>

<INPUT type="button" value="+" onClick="openWin();">

thanks for your help

 

[Kendel]

I don't know PHP. Where do you define $theID, group, and $gID?

 

[cLFlaVA]

It might not be PHP. She's not closing her third parameter.

[tt]
<script>
function openWin()
{
document.myForm.submit();
Window.Open("add.php?id=$theID&screen=group&sid=$gID','Collaboration','width=600,height=400[red]'[/red]");
}
</script>

[/tt]

The bartender asks, "Are you aware that you have a steering wheel down your pants?"
The pirate replies, "Arrrrr! It's driving me nuts!

 

[marianmarian]

it is php; sorry.

$ is how you begin to declare a variable in php . ok ignore the tags or the parsing of the variables, but i still can't open new window.

thanks

 

[cLFlaVA]

Sorry, should be:
[tt]
<script>
function openWin()
{
document.myForm.submit();
Window.Open('add.php?id=$theID&screen=group&sid=$gID','Collaboration','width=600,height=400');
}
</script>
[/tt]

<script>
function openWin()
{
document.myForm.submit();
Window.Open("add.php','Collaboration','width=600,height=400");
}
</script>

<INPUT type="button" value="+" onClick="openWin();">

You are STILL missing the changes I addressed.

marian, reread cLFlaVa post.

It should be:

<script>
function openWin()
{
document.myForm.submit();
Window.Ope('add.php','Collaboration','width=600,height=400');
}
</script>

 

[Kendel]

by the way cLFlaVa, how do I bold a text in my post?

 

[cLFlaVA]

[ignore]like this![/ignore]

And to print out the tags without using them, use

[ignore][ignore]this[/ignore][/ignore]

The link "Process TGML" at the bottom of the page will tell you more.

Kendel,

click on the 'Process TGML' link below the textarea where we enter comments to post. There is a whole array of things you can do (besides "bolding" text... which is done by putting b's around the text as: [ignore]Bold Text[/ignore]).

[Kendel]

Ah, I see. Thank you both.

 

[marianmarian]

[cLFlaVA]

[tt]
function openWin()

Make sure you pay special attention to case-sensitivity in JavaScript. It makes a world of difference.

[marianmarian]

thanks, but something weired is happening:

document.grantsForm.submit(); doesn't submit, but a new window opens with the window.open(blablabla), why, help.

onClick="document.grantsForm.submit(); window.open();"

thanks for all your responses

 

[cLFlaVA]

It's impossible for us to tell what's going wrong by simply posting psuedo-code of where you think the problem is. Once again, we'll need actual code.

Is your form's name actually grantsForm, and is the F in grantsForm really capitalized?
