I'm trying to do something simple(?) -- make a CGI response screen appear in a pop-up window when I submit a particular form.

My fumbling attempts to do this through onSubmit have gone nowhere.

Is it possible to code a form so that your CGI's reply appears in a pop-up? Or should I scrap the idea and try some other interface approach?

Thanks!

I have one more question I may as well add now. Assuming I *can* somehow call a pop-up window this way, is it then possible to make the child window force the parent window to "refresh" or "reload" through the window.opener syntax? What would be a typical way to approach that?

Sincere thanks for any light you may care to shed. [sig][/sig]

AFAIK, The response from a web page will be sent to the same window that made the request. I don't think you can override that, short of creating the popup window first and then submitting the request to the CGI program from there.

I'd love to be proved wrong. Anybody?.....

Hello,

Try this html text in your browser:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JAVASCRIPT&quot;>
function testfunction(file_name)
{
var stringer=&quot; &quot;;
stringer=&quot;stringer+=file_name;
stringer+=&quot;&second_variable_name=second_variable_value&quot;;
window.open(stringer,&quot;checker&quot;,&quot;toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=510,height=500&quot;);
return false;
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<BUTTON onClick=&quot;return testfunction('kdkdk')&quot;>
</form>
</BODY></HTML>
