select row from table

cylly · Oct 25, 2002

I would like to know how to, after highlighting a row in a table, click the submit button from a different frame and know which row is selected so that I can open a new page with details of the row selected.
Here is my table.
<TABLE border=1>
<TR>
<b>
<TH>Table Name</TH>
<TH>Description</TH>
</b>
</TR>
<p font-size=10>
<pr:iterator results="tableList" >
<TR onClick="highlightTR('#c9cc99','cc3333');">
<TD><pr:field name="table_nm"/></TD>
<TD><pr:field name="table_descv_txt"/></TD>
<TD>
<form name="<pr:field name="table_nm"/>" >
<input type=hidden name=tName value="<pr:field name="table_nm"/>">
<input type=hidden name=tDesc value="<pr:field name="table_descv_txt"/>">
<input type=hidden name=tNum value="<pr:field name="generic_table_num"/>">
</form>
</TD>
</TR>
</pr:iterator>
</TABLE>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why don't you put a radio button next to each row. That is more intuitive than having the user highlight a row. Then open the page relevant to which button is checked.

Something like:

Code:

<head>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function openWindow(url,winName,features) {
  window.open(url,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name=&quot;form&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;javascript:openWindow(document.form.win.value,'newwin','width=250,height=250')&quot;>
  <p>1 
    <input name=&quot;win&quot; type=&quot;radio&quot; value=&quot;index1.html&quot; checked>
  </p>
  <p>2 
    <input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;win&quot; value=&quot;index2.html&quot;>
  </p>
  <p>3 
    <input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;win&quot; value=&quot;index3.html&quot;>
  </p>
  <p>
    <input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;Submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
  </p>
</form>
