Calendar values from pop-up to main window 1

[Jodarcy]

Hello,

I'm trying to pass the date value from a Cold Fusion calendar in a pop-up window to a text box of the window that is calling it.

I'm sure there's a real easy fix, but I can't get it at the moment.

Any helpful hints? I'm stumped.

Thanks

We do something similar using a JavaScript calendar.

First our form has a name="myform" (or something similar) tag.

Next you have to have the field named in the form, we call ours date. Then we have a button that activates the pop-up JS for the calendar.

This is where it gets tricky, you have to specify the name of the form field that the calendar assigns the value to. AND you have to specify the name of the form that you are using - document.formname.fieldname

Here's a sample of our code:


<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;setdate.cfm&quot; name=&quot;myform&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;date&quot;>
<input name=&quot;cal&quot; type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Calendar&quot; onClick=&quot;setDateField(document.myform.date); top.newWin = window.open('calendar.html')&quot;>
</form>


I can email you the JS and Html if you would like. Its free code we found on the web about a year ago.

Hope this helps!
