Pop-up

[conceptmgt]

Hi

I am using the javascript below to get my pop-up. The problem is when I submit my code generatorP.asp does not read the form values. It was working fine until I added the pop-up. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Gary

}

You need to submit the form to the pop window....

<script>
function subForm(URL){
formWin = window.open(&quot;&quot;,&quot;myWinName&quot
document.myForm.method = &quot;post&quot;
document.myForm.action = URL
document.myForm.target = formWin
document.myForm.submit()
}
</script>

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
.....
<input type=button onClick=&quot;subForm()&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</form> Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

That's normal and and'll try to explain you why :
If you look at the behavior of your browser, here's what happen when user clicks submit button :
- First : onsubmit event is raised and your popup window is openned with 'generatorP.asp' page in it.
- Then, your browser will try to submit the form that have been submited to the page written in 'Action' attribute of the form tag .... Now, you begin to understand ???

In fact, a submitting action in a client to server page sending while a popup opening is a full client feature. So when the ASP code in 'generatorP.asp' tries to read any 'Request.form(&quot;xxx&quot' value, It hangs because your asp page doesn't have any calling form : your form calls a script function that calls the asp page.

So, you've got to cut your code in two :
1st : store your values in DB (or anything that you want to do with the form value).
2nd : redirect (in asp) the response to another page that'll open the popup. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)
