I just tried and it gets closer to working, however now I have an
error in js on the form action page. (Note the names in this example
are changed to protect the not so innocent).
Here's what I worked out so far to open the popup frame:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function modalWinTest() {
var urlItem =
'act_dialogBoxFrame.cfm?whatever=<cfoutput>#variables.whatever#</cfoutput>&type=editRec';
var windowName = 'Demonstration';
var windowWidth = '760';
var windowHeight = '640';
if (window.showModalDialog) {
ret =
window.showModalDialog(urlItem,windowName,"dialogWidth:"+windowWidth+"px;dialogHeight:"+windowHeight+"px");
} else {
ret =
window.open(urlItem,windowName,'height='+windowHeight+',width='+windowWidth+',toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,continued
from previous linemenubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no ,modal=yes');
}
}
</script>
this opens the appropriate frame page in the popup window.
the user fills in the form
<form name="mainForm" method="post" action="doWhatever.cfm" target="_self" >
blah blah blah etc.
</form>
Then on the doWhatever.cfm
<!--- do some CF related stuff --->
<script language="javascript">
top.window.opener.document.formTest.testInput.value = 'this works in
FF but not IE now';
top.window.close();
</script>
This works in Firefox now, but in IE I get the following error dialog:
'top.window.opener.document' is not an object
thx,
larry
