RE: Navigation: To popup and back
This is an intranet app and the popup won't be an issue. The popup acts as a simple Yes/No dialog box for the app. I'll try the self.close approach.

RE: Navigation: To popup and back
I in turn must disagree. Webapps are not desktop GUI's. Using wizard style steps to select data from multiple *very* large lists is clumsy, when a single form can be easily populated from a couple of popup search forms (which can be very re-usable), rather than an unnecessarily complicated workflow. The competency of the users must considered in all GUI design, and so far I have not encountered any that can't comprehend this style.

RE: Navigation: To popup and back
I guess it all depends on the type of application, the ethics of using them for advertising, is of course, debatable. Especially when there is a flow-on effect, where each pop-up spawns more pop-ups which spawn more pop-ups a good example of these are those featuring Brittany Spears' Breasts.

Lee -Original Message- From: Jeff Oberlander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 8:07 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: Navigation: To popup and back Hi all. Here's what I want to do: From a current active session: Popup a new browser window that contains an ActionForm, and keeps the current session. Submit the form to the Action servlet. Close the popup window. Return to the main browser and original window. I have a javascript that pops up the window that contains my jsp with the ActionForm, no problem. But thats where I get stuck. How do I close the window upon submitting the form and return to the original browser *after* the Action has completed? Any help is appreciated.
