Hi all, I have this piece of code and it's killing me to solve it... So I was hoping someone may help me out here...

I have a page with 3 textareas, and each textarea has it's own button to popup a new window. All fine here... Now here is the problem...

ok when I click on the first popup button and click save within the child window, the parent page refreshes and content appears in the 1st textarea. This is all fine!! But when I try to click on the 2nd button to popup a new window and then save information from the 2nd child window to the main parent, it refreshes the parent window and the 2nd textarea is filled, but the 1st textarea content disappears!!! THIS IS THE PROBLEM!!!

Can anyone help me with the correct javascript to make this puppy work as it is suppose to work... I have tried a few things but they were NO GOOD!!!

PLEASE I NEED HELP HERE!!!

Why refresh? Can't you just update the contents of the textarea? Or is something more going on there?

Cheers,

Hi Diancecht,

If I can get the textarea to just update the contents that would be great without refreshing...

Thanks for your help on this please find the code attached below:
**** parent window ****

<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" value="Save">
<input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="location.href='newsletters.php?uid=<?=$_SESSION['ugid']?>';" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label>Issue Title</label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="title" value="" size="35" /></td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><label>Article Heading 1</label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="heading_1" value="" size="35" /></td></tr>
<tr>
<td><label>Content 1</label></td>
<td><textarea cols="35" rows="5" name="content_1"><?php
$sValue1 = stripslashes($_POST['FCKeditor1']);
echo($sValue1);?></textarea>
<input type="button" name="editor_1" value="Editor" onclick="openwindow('editor.php?content=1','',600,300,'no');"
style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #000000; "/></td>
