Passing Form parameters to new window 1

[egims]

Sorry to repost this question, but I still haven't found a workable answer and I'm sure one is possible.

I have a form with a few input parameters. When submit is clicked I want the form results to appear in a new window which I can control via this sort of thing:

window.open( qstr,'displayWindow','width=638,height=400,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes, top=20, left=20');

One thing I have tried is passing values to the URL contained in "qstr" above, but that does not seem to work the way I did it because unless I specifically pass the values by hand, I can not seem to get the form to pass the entered values.

I posted a simular question a few posts ago for those who may wish to review it for additional feedback. I would really appreciate some additional help.

Thanks,

Ed

you can use the new popup to grab the form values:

window.opener.document.formName.fieldName.value

-hope that helps -Greg :-Q

mackey333,

Thanks for your reply.

I am really a JavaScript novist. How could I use the code in your solution to grab the values? That is, how do I make the form create the popup that grabs the values?

Would you be so kind as to include some more code?

Thanks,

Ed

Hello Ed,

Yolanda gave me this solution.
The HTML part

<FORM ACTION=&quot;useFormData.html&quot; TARGET=&quot;displayWindow&quot; onsubmit=&quot;putAnswers()&quot; METHOD=&quot;get&quot;>

The JavaScript part

<SCRIPT>
function putAnswers(){
   window.open(&quot;useFormData.html&quot;, &quot;displayWindow&quot;, &quot;parameters that control the window&quot;)
}
<SCRIPT>

This worked for her when the URL was an ASP page. Maybe it will work in HTML too.

Hope this helps,
Richard

rac2,

YES!

Your solution works perfectly. Even in Netscape, which is always an achievement.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Ed
