Thanks Sergey for your help. I'm opening a little popup window ( window open(...) ) with a textfield, the user can file with some input. then he clicks the "Submit Request"-button. This button should send the input to the javabean and close the popup widow, so the user can go on in the parent window. <jsp:useBean id="aaa" class="aaa.A" scope="session"> </jsp:useBean> <jsp:setProperty name="A" property="*"/> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>test</TITLE> <script language="javascript"> function goon(b){ if (b.charAt(b.length-1)=="M") { ..... } else{ //document.bbb.action=""; document.bbb.submit(); //window.close(); // when I'm not using comment here( with netscape) it only closes the window, but it does not sent the data } } </script> <base target="_parent"> </HEAD> <body> ..... <INPUT type="text" name="c" value="0" size="25""> ..... <P> <FORM method="get" name="bbb"> <INPUT name=Submit type=button value="Submit Request" onClick="javascript:goon(document.bbb.c.value)"> /FORM></P> </body> </HTML> and the java bean: package aaa; public class A{ private double c = 0; public double getC() { return c; } public void setC(double cc) { c = cc; } } The Problem is to submit the data AND to close the popup window in Netscape4.x, in MSIE 5.0 it works fine. I would be very thankful for any help to solve this problem.
