Let me see if I can simplify this. I have delved into window.js and I'm
trying to understand how it works - it seems to issue the AjaxRequest,
and then take the output of that and place it into the popup. This
populates the popup with my form. Once the user fills it out and submits
it, a POST request is sent to the server. This is recv'd and processed
fine on the server. The response from the server then is what is
displayed on the main window(after the popup has closed). This is what
I'd like to avoid. Is there a way to possibly intercept this response
and not display it in the main window. All options are on the table -
utilizing the provided API, or modifying it - whatever. Is this even
possible?
Any help or insight much appreciated...
