Hi,
I have discontinued my efforts and went with a solution that already works, however would still like to resolve this as it adds greater functionality. The popup window code that I have include is the original. If you need more info then I would be glad to send you the templates that I was trying to use. Either way the javascript is the same in both instances. The only difference is that the original popup has no form post where as the new one did.
thx
This is the code from the parent window (less the .js files):
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
if (typeof eWebEditPro == "object"
{
document.frmEdit.eWebEditProSubmitHandled=true;
eWebEditPro.create("MyContent1", 640, 500);
}
//-->
</script>
Here is the javascript code from the popup that accesses the object eWebEditPro["MyContent1"]:
And btw, some of the code you see in here is tcl and storyserver, jicyww.
