Hey Marc,
I'm attempting the same thing rigt now. Here is code that works when not
inside another form. And that might be your problem too.
You use a form to open the new popup, don't you? But you want your value
to be copied into another field on the same page but in another form. If
so, here is the code, maybe someone can help out that knows more about java.
Filename pop.html
[code]
<body>
<form name="frmGetCustomer">
<input type="button" name="opener" value="Click to pop up"
onClick="popUp();">
<input type="text" name="holder" value="" size="25">
<br>
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function selectItem(){
var selindex=document.frmGetCustomer.myselect.selectedIndex;
if (selindex!=0)
{document.frmGetCustomer.holder.value=document.frmGetCustomer.myselect[selindex].value;}
}
var wi=null;
function popUp(){
if (wi) wi.close();
wi=window.open("popup.htm","","width=600,height=300,location=no,scrollbars=no,status=no");
}
//-->
</script>
</body>
[/code]
Filename popup.html
[code]
<html>
<head>
<title>pop up</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function selectItem(){
var selindex=document.popUpForm.myselect.selectedIndex;
if (selindex!=0) {
window.close();
window.opener.document.myForm.holder.value=document.popUpForm.myselect[selindex].value;
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
<br>
<form name="popUpForm">
<select name="myselect" onChange="selectItem();">
<option></option>
<option value="value1">option 1</option>
<option value="value2">option 2</option>
<option value="value3">option 3</option>
<option value="value4">option 4</option>
<option value="value5">option 5</option>
<option value="value6">option 6</option>
<option value="value7">option 7</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
