Targeting popupopener via form

[pholst]

I have a popupwindow and i want to targeting the openerwindow with a form, beaucse i want to sent some information from inputs to another site. How to do? :/

When you open the popup, make sure you have a window name given as the second parameter:

window.open(someUrl, [!]'windowName'[/!], args);

then simply set the target of the form to that name:

<form [!]target="windowName"[/!] ...>

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hmm... I dont think it works...


This is my code to open the popup:



<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
href=mylink;
else
href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=700,height=770,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<a href="blomsterbilled.asp?id=5" onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')">text</a>


This is the form in the popup:

<form target="windowname" method="post" action="default.asp?mode=bestilling">


What is wrong?

Your window name is "notes", but you have a target of "windowname".

I did say they had to be the same.

Oh sorry, did not notice that i missed it.

Anyway, it seems like it still doesn't work.
It does not go back to the mainwindow, but just stay in the popupwindow and follows the link.

Do you know why?

I would like to use this:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function targetopener(mylink, closeme, closeonly)
{
if (! (window.focus && window.opener))return true;
window.opener.focus();
if (! closeonly)window.opener.location.href=mylink.href;
if (closeme)window.close();
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<A HREF="mylink.html"
onClick="return targetopener(this)">my page</A>


But how can I make it work on a form?

 

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

So you want to submit to the opener, not to the popup? In which case, try this:

<form target="[!]_parent[/!]" method="post" action="default.asp?mode=bestilling">
