Karl,
Thanks for your reply !
I have another problem though I hope you or someone else can help me with.
The popup window that comes up is an editable version of the parent window
that originated it.
When a button is clicked the edited data is posted to a servlet which
updates a data object.
This data object is then displayed in the original parent JSP page.
The servlet code does a response.sendRedirect(JSP page).
However, it displays the page in the same pop up frame.
Is there a way to close the pop up frame and have the data displayed in the
parent window ?
Thanks in advance
Farooq

Hi,
Why not try
<A TARGET="aNewWindow"
HREF="http://your_host:port/servlet/path_to_your_servlet">
here is the link </A>
This will open a new browser window (providing that there isn't one called
"aNewWindow" already ) which will contain the response from the servlet you
need.
Presumably your servlet will do some work and then forward the request using
javax.servlet.ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher("http://your_host:port/ser
vlet/path_to_your_JSP").forward(ServletRequest
request, ServletResponse response) .
Hope this helps
