Opening new form based on id onclick of table

[JSMITH242B]

Hi guys!!
I've seen the examples but I can't seem to get this to work.
So far, I've been able to retrieve the data and show it in a 'table' format on my ASP page.

When the user clicks a record, I want to be able to open up a new form showing more information for this user.

function tblclick(l_persref)
{
document.frmperson.persref.value = l_persref ;
document.frmperson.action="kidframe.asp?persref=" & _persref
document.frmperson.submit();
}

<form name="frmperson" action="kidframe.asp" target="_top" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="persref" value="">
</form>

snippet of code used to create table (shows where the code is used for the onclick event - persref which is the key)
strHTML = strHTML & "<tr class=""TblDetail"" "
strHTML = strHTML & " onclick=""tblclick(" & objRs("persref")
strHTML = strHTML & ")""> "
strHTML = strHTML & crlf


Any pointers much appreciated.
TIA

Do you still want the form submission to happen, or are you looking to replace the submission with a window opening?

Do you want the form to submit to the popup, or some other URL to be loaded in it?

The syntax I have is correct.
BillyRayPreachersSon I want the user to be directed to another form which displays more information based on the persref id.

I used: document.frmperson.action = "kidframe.asp?persref=" & l_persref

but my kidframe.asp page does not open when I click the record.
cheers

If that's all you want, then at the start of your tblclick function, add this line:

window.open('yourURLhere.html', '', '');

Hope this helps,
Dan

You tell the forum what is crlf, etc? But, it does not matter. Error is most often not from a single cause and we get by.

I need to pass in a parameter too...

Thanks

Then do so - just append it to the URL as you normally would.
