I have a form that is in a popup window. I need the form to submit to the opener window. Is is possible to do that? The opener window is the main window so it is does not have a name and there are no framesets.
<form action="something.php" method="post" target="????">
I'd like to use window.opener in the target but that's JavaScript...
I know somebody has done this before and has the code.
The following will submit the form data to popup by clicking the submit button. I want it will submit the form automatically to the popup, there is no submit button in this page. Basically this page should not show up.
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitmyform(f) {
f.target = 'foo'
window.open('',f.target,'menubar=no,scrollbars=no, width=800,height=800');
f.submit();
return false;
}
</script>
<form name="myform" action="popup.asp" target="_blank" method="post"
onsubmit="return submitmyform(this);">
<input type="hidden" name="item" value="item"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit to popup"/>
</form>
I'm creating an html-based kiosk for a museum exhibition. It's a page-turning exhibit, so visitors to the museum will be able to turn the pages of a document. The monitor will be a touch-screen and the main browser window will be set to fullscreen, so the user will not have access to any browser features.
All the pages are built and work. My problem is that I want as many users as possible to see the homepage when they approach the kiosk (not the page the most recent user was last looking at). So I'm working on a way for the main window to redirect itself back to the homepage.
The solution I'm trying to make work is this:
When any page is opened (besides the homepage) a timer script runs. When the timer reaches 0, it activates a script that creates a new popup window that says, "Click here to continue reading from the current page." If someone clicks the popup, it goes away and leaves the main page beneath. If no one clicks the popup, it also goes away, but in this case, I need the main window to redirect to the homepage--this is the part I can't figure out.
I think (and I'm new to this so I'm probably wrong) I want an onunload action related to the popup window, so that when the script closes the popup window it will access the main window and change its location. Can this be accomplished with a window.opener in the popup script?
I've tried to do this by putting on onfocus action in the body tag of the main page, to redirect when the main page is put in focus. But in this case, the onfocus action executes when the main page originally loads--I need it to execute when the page is "refocussed." Code:
I see how the window.opener works, pretty neat in that the pop window
knows the parent.
Is there a property that also knows the form field parent?
My function does not know which of the 3 select menus called it.
What can I do?
function onCarrierSelect() {
//
var frm = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.selectedIndex
var selectCar =
document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.options[frm].text;
alert(selectCar);
if (window.opener && !window.opener.close)
window.opener.document.form(x how make global?).nbcarrier(x how make
global?).value = selectCar
window.close();
}
p.s. as an aside I know the form field name, it is literally in the
querystring, but that is ASP/vbscript and no way to get it into the
jscript function...
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function closeWindow()
{
window.opener.location='www.gafarrons.org'
[Code]...
the error message is "window opener is null or not an object"
I have a popup window which has the search form in. What I want to do is for the popup window to close once the form is submitted, and to post the form data to a page on the main window.
Is anyone able to advise. As the main page is dynamic, it is not possible to give the page a name.
Im trying to create a hidden form field in a parent window from within a child window (popup). I am trying to use jQuery, but unfortunately the hidden field does not get created.
Code JavaScript:
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using window.showModalDialog but having an issue trying to set the parent window(main browser). I open modal window A which is then opens modal window B, top of modal window B onload I do window.opener.close()". My issue now is when i'm finished with B I set parent window(main browser) to a new url with window.opener.location. So my problem is modal window A the parent has been closed so window.opener.location will not work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFirstly I know this issue has been addresses a lot already but as a newbie to HTML and Web Development I am unable to get the idea. according to documentations and solutions proposed on different forums a popup or child window can be only closed using window.close() if it is opened via window.open() function.

I see this problem in IE but not Firefox. I have a page that opens a second page as a dialog box. If the Dialog is relaunched from a second instance on the page the Dialog window is reused, the controls are reinitialized but window.opener still refers to
the original opener. I have simplified code than demonstrated the problem. Code:
I have a popup window that opens from a page on my website.
This popup is a form with several fields.
Upon submit button it redirects to a server side ASP page which writes
all data to the DB.
I would like the popup to close immediately after the submit button is
clicked, and data is saved, (or cancel button) - but this does not
happen.
The popup window remains open, even though I have a "return false;"
after window.open in the onclick event.
What am I missing?
<a href="myurl.asp"
'title','toolbar=no,width=700,height=600'); return false;">post a
note</a>;
I have a form formABC that has a textbox plus a button. On clicking the button, window.open() a popup window for user to select a value. The value will then be passed back to formABC's textbox.
Now I want formABC to submit itself *AFTER* the textbox got a value. How could I do it?
I am new to JavaScript but until now, have felt my way along fairly successfully. I have a page showing an image to the user. I use window.open to open a separate page, listing a bunch of different images that the user can select. When the user clicks "Submit", I'd like the image
selection page to close and update the image on the originating page.
To "play around" with this command until I can use it successfully, I wrote the following;
function Button1_onclick() {
window.opener.document.bgcolor='bisque'
window.opener.location.reload()
window.close()
}
The line for changing the back ground color to bisque I pulled from the netscape site javascript reference for Window.Opener.
I struck to open a popup window after submit the page. I used the following logic . but it's not open.
out.println("<a href="javascript:ozPopup('ozPpolApptChangeStartTime.jsp?apt=RptAppt&apptId="+id+"&date="+date+"','PpolApptLov','left=100,top=60,width=640,height=300,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');">");
as the title says, "close popup window after submit then redirect to parent". how do i do that? i google it and i saw that some people are using the following code:
window.close();
window.opener.location.reload();
The problem is, i dont know how to use and where them.
I'm trying to accessing the Parent window fom a sub window previously opened using window.open.I'm using firebug to t yand debug, and it shows that this DOM entry exists..window.opener.location.href.But trying to access it gives "window opener is null" error.I've tried all these, and get the various errors tagged on the end...
<script language="JavaScript">
//alert(opener.location); // = opener is null
//alert(opener.location.href); // = opener is null[code]......
If i open a link either by using the right mouse menu "open in new window"
or press shift (IE) on the link the page will be opened in a new window.
From this window I can use the window.opener object to access the opening
window.
When doing this in NN7.1 I cannot access windows.opener. If I open the
window with window.open I can also use the window.opener to access the
opening window but not if I open the new window by pressing CTRL an clicking
the link or using right click "Open link in new window".
Is it only possible to access the window.opener if the window was opened
with window.open in NN7?
I have a normal window cotaining a form (named form1). The form has a text
input called imageURL. There is a button that, when clicked, opens a new
window that contains three frames (left, right and bottom.) In the right
frame is another form (named form2) with a hidden input (selected). When
form2 is submitted, I want the value of selected to be passed back to the
imageURL on form1 and then close. The code I have tried is as follows:
(From my frame...)
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function passValues()
{
// pass variable back to parent window
window.opener.document.form1.imageURL.value =
document.form2.selected.value;
}
top.window.close();
</SCRIPT>
It closes just fine, but imageURL on form1 never changes.
Here is a short and sweet code snippet for submitting a form to a popup window. It only requires modifying the <form> tag a bit. Non-JavaScript users simply get a regular new window.
<form action="formParser.php" method="POST" target="newFormWindow" onsubmit="window.open('about:blank', 'newFormWindow', 'width=340,height=260');">
.....
</form>
This works fine and adds a new element to the list:
document.forms['formname'].elements['listname'].options[0] = new
Option('foo', 'bar');
... but using the following code in a popup window - IE crashes or tells
me that the server threw an exception:
window.opener.document.forms['formname'].elements['listname'].options[0]
= new Option('foo', 'bar')
I open a new window from a JSP.
Code:
function modalWin() {
var url="AddFormSelect.jsp?Application=<%=sApplication%>&PANE_ID="+activePane;
if(activePane!=null){[code]....
And in IE7, window.opener is null, whereas it works fine in FF.
The use of jQuery below does not work for IE9 but works beautifully for Firefox, Chrome & Safari. Before I rewrite it without jQuery, I was hoping to get some feedback on what I've done. Not certain about standards compliance, just know it works fine for all the browsers I'm testing except IE.The user provides an action from a popup window. The action references the opener window, removes a few elements from a hidden element and then immediately repopulates those elements with updated values based on that action.
Code JavaScript:
// does not appear work like this in IE9
window.opener.$('div#hiddenShiftAbbrList').empty();[code].....
I have a inventory control program written and I use
window.opener.location='filename.html' window.close()
It works fine in ie6 on windows 98 and XP home but sometimes for users with XP professional it crashes ie6 (wants to send a error reports to microsoft and the closes)
I was wondering if it could be that professionals "mutil" processing causing a problem by 1 process excuting before the other?
window.opener.img<%=rowid%>.src = "this.jpg";
window.opener.col<%=rowid%>.innerHTML=strReturn;
window.opener.row<%=rowid%>.style.display = "inline";
The innerHTML and style.display of the above works. Both col?? and row?? can be targeted and changed. However the img?? does not work. The ID on the tag is fine but the image wont change. Incase it was src I tried with style.display too on the image but still wont target it.
I have a problem that drive my CRAZY! It's about a popup with opener window.
I can't submit the data from the popup window to the opener window. In Mozilla works just fine but when i try on IE 7 the form won't submit. Here si the function!
function copyForm() {
window.opener.document.getElementById('form_name').submit();
//i've try also opener.document.getElementById('form_name').submit();
//and also window.opener.document.form_name.submit();
window.close();
return false;
}
What i must do to make this code work in IE???
