how to pass the values to the textbox through window.opener

prasadalone · Sep 8, 2006

I am calling cander.aspx page through javascript

i am using window.opener to set the values of the textbox
i think because my textbox is server control so that through calendar.aspx page i am not able to pass the values to the texbox is there any way to transfer the values from calendar.aspx page to the textbox on the calling page

<tr>
<td valign="top" width="30%">
Payment received Date</td>
<td valign="top" width="70%">
<asp:TextBox id="paymrecddate" runat="server" name="paymrecddate"></asp:TextBox>
<a href="javascript:calendar_window=window.open('/calendar.aspx?formname=frmCalendar.txtDate','calendar_window','width=154,height=188');calendar_window.focus()">Calendar </a></td>
</tr>

Following is the code for calendar.aspx page

<%@ Page Language="vb" %>
<script runat="server">

Private Sub Calendar1_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
Dim strjscript as string = "<script language=""javascript"">"
strjscript = strjscript & "window.opener." & Httpcontext.Current.Request.Querystring("formname") & ".value = '" & Calendar1.SelectedDate & "';window.close();"
strjscript = strjscript & "</script" & ">" 'Don't Ask, Tool Bug
Literal1.text = strjscript

window.opener.document.forms[0].TextBox1.value

End Sub

Private Sub Calendar1_DayRender(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DayRenderEventArgs)
If e.Day.Date = datetime.now().tostring("d") Then
e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray
End If
End Sub

</script>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<head>

</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0">

<NextPrevStyle backcolor="#000080" forecolor="#ffffff" />
<OtherMonthDayStyle forecolor="#c0c0c0" />
</asp:Calendar>
<asp:Literal id="Literal1" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
</form>
</body>
</html>

This is how I did it. I created a hidden text field on the calendar.aspx page. Then I used some javascript (updateParent)on submit to transfer the value back to the main form. I'm using the parent-child relationship in DOM.

I have a button on the Calendar.aspx that submits the form.

I am opening Calendar.aspx in another window, similar to what you are doing.

There maybe more elegant solutions but I know this works...

This is the calendar.aspx page...

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function updateParent() {
    opener.document.Form1.txt_Begin_Date.value = document.childForm.txtBeginDate.value;
    
    self.close();
    return false;
}
<FORM runat="server" ID="childForm" onSubmit="return updateParent();">

private void cal_SelectionChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			this.txtBeginDate.Value = this.cal.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
			
		}
