Submit form variables to a new pop-up window

[anik21]

How do I submit a form variable from a parent window to a pop-up window. I am not using any buttons on the parent window. I have a hyperlink using <a href...
My code looks like this:


<a href='Rep.asp' onclick= javascript: Go('3');window.open('Rep.asp'); document.frm.submit; return false;target=_blank>GO </a>


<script language = javascript>
function Go(number)
{
window.open('newwind.asp')}
</script>

The variable is not being passed. I would like to have the number variable in the javascript function to be passed to the new window. I do not want to use querystring.Please help!

thanks..

This may be an HTML problem. What is the form action? The URL in the form action is where the form data is going. It doesn't matter how many windows you open or what you put in them.

Try this ...

Put a hidden field in your parent form named myhiddenfield (or whatever)

In the GO function, add:

// Set the hidden field value to whatever...
document.myform.myhiddenfield.value = 3; // or whatever

In the POP UP code, use:

// get the form var from parent window
var myVar = document.opener.myform.myhiddenfield.value

for X-browser comp use

window.document...etc
