Sessions

[LeoLionHeart]

Hi I was wondering if you could help.

I have a web form with two html buttons and two text boxes. The buttons open up a child window using the following code:

function OpenNew()
{
window.open('SecSearch.aspx','mywindow','width=360,height=200');

}

The form that is open is a search form which displays information in a hidden input box and this value then is transferred back to the parent form, such as:

function Populate()
{
var name=document.getElementById("savelistIndex").value;
opener.document.getElementById("txtSec").value = name;
window.close();
}

However, the getElementById("txtSec") could change to ("txtHR"). How do I determine which button was pressed in the first place e.g a session variable in javascript so that I can make the getElementById variable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Leo.

One way would be to first set the ID of the button that called the function into a hidden form field. Read that value from your popup window and use it to set the name of the field to write back to.

function Populate()
{
[COLOR=red]var fldName=document.getElementById('hdnBtnName').value;[/color]
var name=document.getElementById("savelistIndex").value;
opener.document.getElementById("[COLOR=red]'"+fldName+"'[/color]").value = name;
window.close();
}
