Hi David, Can you please let us know how you achieved this? Is the popup another portlet or it is part of the portlet present in the opener page? Have you created a mode called "popup mode" like print ?

I have a icon a screen which pops up a window to all the user to enter a note. Selects the save on the popup window, the window sets a hidden field on the portlet and exits the popup window, which will also at the same time call the event action to submit the changes to the database and refresh the screen. ---------------------------------------------------- This mailbox protected from junk email by Matador from MailFrontier, Inc. http://info.mailfrontier.com -----Original Message----- From: Kai Grossjohann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 12:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Popup windows with Portlets "Igor, make it so that we can use popup windows with portlets!" "Yeth, marthther." I know that it is very difficult to make popup windows work with portlets. But I gotta try. The powers that be expressed their wishes... So is there any way at all for a popup window to communicate with the portlet? I will need bidirectional communication. If it soothes you at all, I'll try to make it so that the popup behaves like a modal dialog, eg by telling the porlet to give focus to the popup if there is a popup, using JavaScript. The idea goes like this: user clicks on icon to frob the search range. The window does what windows aren't allowed to do in portal sites and shows two input fields to the user, start date and end date. User frobs these two items, clicks okay. The window disappears, and now the portlet session knows the new start/end dates. Hm. In principle, one could imagine having two portlets, the search form portlet and the search range portlet. The latter is normally minimized. But if the user clicks on a special button in the search form portlet, the search range portlet is maximized (or restored, or something), allowing the user to enter the date. After the user clicks submit, the search range portlet is minimized again, going back to the previous view. The new search range is remembered in the portlet session. Would this work? I'd be happy about any suggestions you might have.
