Re: Dialog that does not restrict edit to parent

[Brien Dieterle]

** Maybe create a display only form that pulls in the relevant information on-load via a supporting form. Then instead of a dialog, open this form into a new Submit window and pass in enough information to a hidden field so that the on-load event can retrieve the proper information from the supporting form.  Maybe the supporting form can be the display form too so you don't need two forms-- just make your action retrieve a particular record from this form using a "display" action and a qualification. Then you can resize this new window by adding code to the Web Header Content section of the View properties: <script language="_javascript_" type="text/_javascript_"> window.resizeTo(640,480); </script> You know, I just noticed there is a "popup" style for open window, in addition to Dialog, etc, at least on 7.6.  I wonder if that does what you want?
