Is it possible to call Cgi Filefrom JavaScript Function

[bansi]

I am able to call Cgi file from javascript function and also able to pass QueryString to the cgi file like this
window.open("http:/localhost/hello.cgi?name=value)
But the cgi file doesn't reads the value when i say $in{name}.
Also i am not able to write the values back into parent window from cgi file.
Thanks

Your parameters should be in the environment variable $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}. You may have to parse them yourself, unless there is a CGI module option for parsing the query string specifically.

As for writing values back into the window, unless you do a submit that might not work. They would write to the window you open if anywhere. You may be able to write javascript to the new window that sets variables, and try accessing those variables from the original window.
