Submitting a Form Problems..

[dalvin200]

Hi,

I'm having problems submitting a form and passing field values..

I have a page which is displayed and has the following form

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;name.asp&quot; name=&quot;frmMain&quot;>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;Y&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;submit&quot;>
</p>
</form>

now this works ok, as it posts to name.asp right ?

but what i WANT to do is have name.asp open using a javascript:window.open(&quot;name.asp&quot;,null,sFeatures)

so i tried posting the form to the above javascipt:window.open.. blah blah but the hidden input field within the form never got passed through !

Is there anyway to get this passed to name.asp AND have name.asp open in a window with its specified size etc.. ?

Any help appreciated..

Thanks..

Try

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;javascript:window.open(&quot;name.asp&quot;,null,sFeatures)
&quot; name=&quot;frmMain&quot;>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;Y&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;submit&quot;>
</p>
</form>

i know its a bit of a mess on, but you could do this with a global.asa file

set up the global.asa file to create a session variable, called hidden, then have the form send to itself, with a variable, that either shows the form, or loads up the javascript new window.... Then on the window you can get the page to retrieve the results from the global.asa file

sorry thats all i can think of at the moment, im relatively new to asp.....

If all you need to do is to get that one variable to the popup window, then you could use a javascript function and pass the variable via querystring.

<script language=javascript>
popGoesTheWindow(){
var theValue = document.frmMain.name.value;
var url = 'name.asp?name=' + theValue;
var x = window.open(url,'popWindow','optionsGoHere');
}
</script>

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;name.asp&quot; name=&quot;frmMain&quot;>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;Y&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;submit&quot; onClick=&quot;popGoesTheWindow();&quot;>
</p>
</form>

and then you'll just grab your value on name.asp using request.querystring(&quot;name&quot
