Hey all, I have a query.

I have a page with an input box on it with a button right after it.

The input box will have to hold a file name, but I only want the user to be able to enter the name of a file that is in a certain directory. So, what I've done is when they click a button it opens a pop-up with some ASP code in it to display all the files in the particular directory, each of which are a hyperlink.

What I would like to do is make it so that when the user clicks on the hyperlink for a picture, I want the pop-up to close and the name of the file put into the text-box on the main page.

Just wondering if this is possible, and if so if someone could point me in the direction of how to go about it.

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas.

Damon

Gatchaman,

Here's a sample I used to build a variety of pop-up form-fillers:

save this as &quot;Sample.html&quot;:

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot;
     &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;>[/URL]

<html xmlns=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;[/URL] xml:lang=&quot;en&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;></meta>
    <title>JavaScript Sample</title>
    <script src=&quot;Sample.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form name=&quot;MainForm&quot;>
      <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Add...&quot; onclick=&quot;Warning('open');return false;&quot;></input>
      <p>Question<br /><textarea cols=&quot;40&quot; rows=&quot;2&quot; name=&quot;Question&quot; id=&quot;Question&quot;></textarea></p>
      <p>Answer<br /><textarea cols=&quot;40&quot; rows=&quot;2&quot; name=&quot;Answer&quot; id=&quot;Answer&quot;></textarea></p>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Save this as &quot;NewQA.html&quot;:

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot;
     &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;>[/URL]

<html xmlns=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;[/URL] xml:lang=&quot;en&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;></meta>
    <title>Add a Question</title>
  </head>
  <body bgcolor=&quot;#ddddff&quot;>
    <p><b>Add New Question</b></p>
    <form name=&quot;Formie&quot;>
      <p>Question<br /><textarea cols=&quot;40&quot; rows=&quot;2&quot; name=&quot;Question&quot; id=&quot;Question&quot;></textarea></p>
      <p>Answer<br /><textarea cols=&quot;40&quot; rows=&quot;10&quot; name=&quot;Answer&quot; id=&quot;Answer&quot;></textarea></p>
      <p><input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Cancel&quot; onclick=&quot;window.close();&quot;></input> <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Clear Entries&quot; onclick=&quot;Question.value='';Answer.value=''&quot;></input> <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Accept Entries&quot; onclick=&quot;window.opener.document.MainForm.Question.value=Formie.Question.value; window.opener.document.MainForm.Answer.value=Formie.Answer.value; window.close();&quot;></input></p>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

And save this as &quot;Sample.js&quot;:

Code: 
function Warning(Argument)
  {
    if(Argument==&quot;open&quot;)
      {
        Win_Warning = window.open('NewQA.html','Win_Warning','top=50,screenY=50,left=50,width=365,height=400,scrollbars=no,scrollbar=no,menubar=no');
      }

    if(Argument==&quot;close&quot;)
      {
        if (Win_Warning.closed+&quot;&quot; == &quot;false&quot;)
          {
            Win_Warning.close();
          }
        else
          {
          }
      }
  }

The rest is filling out what you need different.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hi, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm unable to work out what either of you are doing in your examples.

I don't really understand how you to use your page Edward, could you please explain what I have to do ?

Thanks

Oops, nevermind Edward, I misread, it's supposed to be 3 pages, not 2, I missed the part about saving as NewQA.html.

Works great, thanks for your help :)

a Star for you,

Damon
