[cfaussie] Re: How to create a popup window after some Cf processing
Mike,
I use the dojo framework and that sort of thing becomes extremely easy to
do.
The thing you need to do is something like this.
Function previewClicked() {
// Send info back to the server and wait for a response (Ajax is best here
//If succesfull open the window
//otherwise display an error message
}
With dojo I would do this
Function previewClick() {
var x = new dojo.io.FormBind({
mimetype: 'text/text',
formNode: 'FormName',
load: function(load, data, e) {
// When we reach here the process checks for valid
// data and process the required action
}
});
x.onSubmit = function(form) {
return true;
}
}

Subject: [cfaussie] How to create a popup window after some Cf processing
I know how to create a popup window from a button or a link, but i
want to create a preview window for my CMS - when the user clicks
Preview, there has to be some processing done on the form data, and
only after it's successfully processed, does the popup window appear,
incorporating the processed data.
What i'm kind of looking for is a CFLOCATION kind of action, with a
popup instead of taking the current window to the new location. that
way the CFLOCATION will popup the preview page, while still keeping
the existing page with the form intact.
Anyone know how to do that?

Froman image / button onclick=window.open('mylocation.cfm'); ?? Or on a
new page body onload=window.open('mylocation.cfm'); is that the sort of
thing your looking for?

[cfaussie] Re: How to create a popup window after some Cf processing
Sounds like you want ajax functionality. The way to do this that takes the least amount of time and preperation is to add a hidden iframe to the page, then target the form at that iframe. The cfm processes the url parameters and outputs _javascript_ that opens the popup.
If this is going to be an ongoing sort of requirement, you may want to think about using a framework (e.g. I use jQuery) to simplify the work.Blair

[cfaussie] Re: How to create a popup window after some Cf processing
Can you use URL vars instead of forms vars in your preview function?
function openPopupScreen()
{
// opens popup window without all the toolbars menu etc
var window;
var uniquename = Math.floor(Math.random()*100);
uniquename = uniquename.toString();
loginwindow =
window.open(somepage.cfm?varname=+document.myform.element.value,uniquename,
directories=no, status=yes, kiosk=no, fullscreen=no, location=no,
scrollbars=1, resizable=1,alwaysRaised=yes, left=50,
top=50,height=500,width=690);
window.focus();
}

Thanks Rod,
I think i'm trying to make it too complicated for myself. I was
trying to do my normal style of processing the form in the same page,
THEN going to the new location. But if i pass the form struct to the
popup and process it there, that would achieve the same thing I think.
It's the updating and other processing of the form data PRIOR to
displaying the popup that's vexing me.
