Brian... The page in question has image upload built into the list of images to be selected from. So that wouldn't work. However, the function call that you suggested is what I ended up using.
Thanks for the feedback...appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Schilt Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 11:57 AM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: Change event for hidden form field I would recommend replacing the pop up window with an in-page modal window (http://ui.jquery.com/repository/latest/demos/functional/ #ui.dialog). The modal windows these days are advanced enough to function much like a pop up window with draggable, resizable, scolling and whatnot. This would be easy to do if you were to use a modal window because once hidden form field is populated you can us jQuery's event trigger method (http://docs.jquery.com/Events/trigger#typedata) to make it happen. If you absolutely need to use the pop up window then have the new window call a function in the parent window. This function can execute a trigger. //this function is in the parent window. function triggerHiddenFormField() { $('$hiddenFormField').trigger('change'); } //pop up window calls the the parent window's function window.opener.triggerHiddenFormField(); brian On Aug 28, 11:40 am, "Andy Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Something I forgot to add.
