Hi Dirk:
Sounds like you're talking about client-side issues here. If you're just trying to
populate form-fields with values from a child window (i.e. popup), use javascript to
try something like this in the popup:
function updateParent(){
popUpValue = document.getElementById("whateverThePopupFormFieldIdIs").value;
parentField = opener.document.getElementById("whateverTheParentFormFieldIdIs");
parentField.value = popUpValue;
close();
Then set the form tag's onSubmit="updateParent()" or set the submit button's
onclick="updateParent()" in the popup window. Make sure you set the required fields'
id properties.
Now if what you require is some processing of the popup's data by the server, then a
subsequent update of the parent...
Submit the popup form to whatever Action you require, then map the successful
completion of the Action to a simple html page or jsp, which need only contain the
following script:
function updateParent(){
opener.location.reload(true)
close();
}
and set the body tag's onLoad="updateParent()".
If you're talking about all server-side manipulation, Mark Lowe's answer was just
fine. Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Cory
