transfer value from one page to another?

iskrypelis · #1 Feb 10th, 2008, 16:51

Hello all,
I have simple form, lets say one text input field, one 'extra' button, ant one submit button.
When i press 'extra' button i get popup window. In that window is another form:text input field,and submit button. I enter some value in that input field, press submit button, popup window closes and entered value appears in that 'parent' form's (or how should that be called?...). text input field.
Maybe anyone,who understood what i said, could give me any ideas how to solve this 'problem'?
Thank you in advance.

Okay, so essentially you want a popup window to write values to the window that called it?

Basically, from your popup window you can use the special keyword opener to reference the opening window. So from within the popup you can use

Code: Select all

opener.document.getElementById('thisInput').value = document.getElementById('thatInput').value;

Oh, i should shoot myself... I was already thinking about using AJAX and so on, and you gave me so simple solution... thank you very much

LOL - don't shoot yourself. The simpler things are usually the hardest to see initially

Can you post the code?

As you wish...
(shorter version of code

)
the popup:

Code: Select all

...etc....
<input type="text" id="txt1" name='a' />
<script type="text/javascript">
opener.document.getElementById('tata').value = document.getElementById('txt1').value;
 </script>
...etc....

the "main" window:

Code: Select all

...etc...
 <input type='text' name='test' id='tata' size='12' />

<input type='button' value='parinkti' onclick="window.open('sendcard/pick_color.php', 'color', 'width=300px height=250px')" />
...etc...

didn't want to waste your time, so i displayed only "most important" part.... As I said, thats works on mozilla, but doesn't work on opera on konqueror (haven't tried on IE, cuz now i dont have chance). Also tried to write window.opener.getElementById, instrad of opener.GetElementById, but there was no difference.

oh,few minutes later i solved my problem by myself,and again i should shoot my self

just wrote that line in function and assigned it to "submit" button...

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
function baba () {
opener.document.getElementById('tata').value = document.getElementById('txt1').value;
}
 </script>
<input type='submit' name='siusti' value='gerai' onclick='baba()' />

thank you...again
