View 2 RepliesI have a page that is, essentially, a big form. Inside of this form are several iFrames which are intended to populate fields in the form of the parent (follow?). Basically, the form is for the creation of a quick banner ad spec/rough. And in the form, the user needs to position elements. Rather than requiring them to type in pixel values I used an ISMAP that returns the values to it's parent's form's appropriate field. I also do the same with a "choose the background image" - click on the image in an iframe and it is supposed to populate the appropriate field in the parent window's form.
Well, it works fine in Firefox. And, as expected, Explorer sucks and won't do any of the functions within the iframes.
You can't help me without the relevant code so...
I have a PHP page with an iframe where I load PERL/CGI content. Now of course when I click anything on the parent page the iframe refreshes with it.
But what I really want is to have the parent page refresh when anything inside the iframe is clicked. Of course the iframe should not refresh and go to initial view then. So basically I am looking for a way to have ONLY the parent page refresh every time something in the frame is clicked or to have the parent page and the iframe refresh but with the iframe retaining the last user position.
First the code:
Code:
Looking at the code, you might assume (as I did) that clicking the button on page1.htm would load page2.htm. However for some reason, when calling a parent function, the function runs with the calling file's path rather than the path of the parent.
So it is actually trying to load /files/files/page2.htm! How do I force all calls to parent.function() to run with parent.hta's path as the root?
Realize that this is a simplistic example and simple solutions such as putting all the files in the same path, or dropping the "/files" in the loadPage2() function are not valid solutions.
Essentially I need to call parent.loadPage2() and have it run the function with the root path = parent.hta's path.
i have this code i need to close the parent.html window when the child window opened, i need the code for that working well in IE and Firefox Parent.html
<HTML>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
function sendTo()
{
window.open('child.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+'');
}

I am trying to usw window.open , upload a file in the child window and then referesh the parent window. But once upload is done, window . opener .location.href or opener.location.replace sends a message back but I get a pop up blocker, so if I turn pop up blocker off, it opens in new page. I just want the parent page to refresh on the same window. This works on some employees stations but not on others..I don't know if there are any settings on IE that need to change, I tried everything...weird. does any one done this before?

I have a couple of utility windows - a calculator and a calendar that popup
from my main window. I would like them to always stay in front of the parent
window until they are shut down with there own close buttons. As it is, when
you click back to the parent window, of course it comes in front of the
child windows. Can I do this?
My problem is that ..... I have to select Data from Popup Window and get that Data back to my Parent window's textarea field..

When the user closes the pop-up, I want my original page to redirect to another page. The difficulty I'm having is that I can't add any code to the page in the pop-up as it's not my site.

also get closed.
I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code:
checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>")

I'm trying to create code to close the child window I'm creating if the parent window is closed. Here's my code so far:
function openWindow() {
var newWin = window.open(); // open the new window
newWin.document.write('<h1>Child Window</h1>
[Code]...
The above openWindow function is used in this event: <input type="button" name="btn" onclick="openWindow()"value="Open a new window" />
I can generate the new window fine. I just can't close it if the parent window is closed.
My scenario is like this.
1. Click on button and pop up child window.
2. Select multiple checkbox and submit array which send back to parent window and value store in a hidden variable.
i manage to do pop up child window, pass textfield value to parent window. But it cant send php array to parent window. Please help. I'm not good in js. code...
I'm having trouble with Safari. After i close a popup it does not focus on the parent window. I have been looking around and i think its this sort of thing i need 'javascript:window.opener.focus()" target="_self"' but tbh i'm not in anyway a javascript whizz, so im a little confused.
Here is my current code to close the child window
document.write("<input name='close' class='button popup' type='button' value='Close Window' onclick='window.close()' id='close'>"
So i need to somehow, add in the .opener thing to that.
I am trying to insert the value of a variable gathered from a popup window as an option in a <select> menu on the main window. This is the code I have so far:
Code:
var newOption = document.createElement("option");
newOption.value = '<?=$userfile_name?>'
newOption.appendChild(document.createTextNode('<?=$userfile_name?>'));
select.insert(newOption);
How do I do the rest? I just want to add this new value to the end of the list.
I'm building a program for webmasters, and I need to have it so that I can have an <INPUT> button that, when clicked, will open up a new window (400x350 pixels) with a list of links. However, when the person clicks one of those links, the window closes, the value of an <input type="text" name="parentdoc" size="8" maxlength="8" readonly> is updated.
How would I accomplish this?
(As I mentioned above, I am very new to JavaScript, so please provide as much explanation and code as possible.)
I need the most efficient way of passing a variable from a parent window to a popup window.The reason i say "most efficient" is because i currently do it like this from the parent:[code]But this is inefficient because at times it randomly alerts "undefinded".Anyways, can someone tell me a more fail safe way to pass a var to a popup so that i will be able to access it 100% correctly.
how I can populate the value of an input field on a parent window from a selected item (of a form - listmenu) on a pop-up window? Basically, I need to pass the value of one form to another form located on a different page...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a parent page which I don't have control of. I call my child page from parent page, perform some operations and once I click update child window should close and parent window should be refreshed.Everything seems to work fine except the parent page not refreshing.I tried using window.opener.location.reload(true). But it makes a postback in the parent page and so the values that I update are lost because it makes a postback with the previous values.I tried window.opener.document.locationwindow.opener.document.location. But this doesn't refresh my parent page.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I do the following line in Netscape, the popup loads as it should,
but the parent window usually, but not always, reloads as well.
<a href="#"
onClick="window.open('/cgi-bin/displayimage.cgi?/store/demo/image.jpg&YOUR+PRODUCT%27<b>S+NAME+GOES',
'fullimage', 'WIDTH=420,HEIGHT=405,status=0')">
The original window should not reload, but is, and I have tested it with
both version 4.72 and 7.02, and they both do it. IE does not do it.
The big problem is that the original window has security built into it
so it must be called from the right referring url, but when Netscape
reloads this parent window, it neglects to send the original referring
url, so the original page is replaced with an error page as soon as the
above link is clicked.
Is there any workaround for this, where either Netscape will not reload
the original page, or if it does, at least not lose the referring url?
I'm opening a window with a SWF inside (no HTML, just the SWF) but in the
title bar appears something like
http://www.server.com/myDir/myWeb/Flash/myFlash.swf
i'd like to write something like "Wow!! look thos flash!!!".
Could I do that from the function who launch it??? with something like this?
myWin.title = 'Hello world!!!'
I'm using window.open to create a secondary window, and everything is
working fine with that. My problem is that as soon as that window is
opened, the parent window scrolls to the top of its page. So when the
user closes the secondary window, they've lost their place in the
parent document.
Is this normal behavior for window.open? Is there a quick way to
prevent it, or is it more likely a problem with my Javascript?
