click hyperlink - passes value back to parent window 1

[schase]

Hi all,

Ok, i've seen how to do this with selects and images. but how do i do it clicking a simple a href tag?

I've tried this

<a href=# onClick=sendImg(this);>&quot; & imagename & &quot;</a>

(it gets the values through asp)

and on top of that popup window i've got this

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function sendImg(sel) {
opener.document.forms[0].txtImage1.value = sel[sel.selectedIndex].text;
window.close();
}
</script>

but how do i modify that to look for a link rather than a select box?

Thank you.

function sendImg(sel) {
opener.document.forms[0].txtImage1.value = sel;
window.close();
}
</script>

hmmmm

it doesnt like any images with spaces in the filename.

Any way around this?

Try to use %20 where the spaces are in the filename..

Example:

My Documents

would be

My%20Documents

since you are writing the filenames in asp you can say server.urlEncode(filename) and it will make sure that the filename is in correct URL code

You can also use the id attribute-


<a href =&quot;#&quot; id = &quot;test Id&quot; onclick=&quot;A(this.id)&quot;>###</a>
