Poping UP two diffrent windows from the same page

[darkom]

Hi!

In my CGI page the user selects something and then presses a button. The result appears in a new window with statistics as the contents. When the user presses the button again a second window appears with the same stats when they should have changed. So now the user sees two new windows with identical contents.

Unless the user manually selects refresh on one of the new pages he or she can't see the second set of stats. I need two windows with diffrent contents for the user to compare stats.

The new page is also a CGI (PERL).

I use this code to popup the new windows :

sub open_window
{
get_window_name;
print &quot;<script Language='JavaScript'>&quot;;
print &quot;window.open('WDJRouterRes.cgi','$win_name','width=320,height=480,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,
copyhistory=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');&quot;;
print &quot;history.back()&quot;;
print &quot;</script>&quot;;
}


PLEASE HELP I have a dead line to meet.
Thanks in advance.

B.T.W. I was wondering how to pass parameters to the CGI script in the new window

for your first question please, direct me to the rul so I can see whats going on..

secondly: I believe you can access parameters from the QueryString so just tack the info to the end of the url you open:

create a sting like:
str=&quot;

window.open(str)
