[Javascript] How can I include form values in a javascript w indow.open?

[Scott.Wiseman]

how about assigning a value from javascript to the query line of the new
window
and using asp to recall that when the new window opens?
 
openBrWindow('dummy.htm?ID=window.document.id.value','CARDS','scrollbars=yes
,resizable= 

yes,width=640,height=600')

How about 



<FORM name="main" METHOD="GET" 

onSubmit="MM_openBrWindow('dummy.htm','CARDS','scrollbars=yes,resizable= 

yes,width=640,height=600')" ACTION="inputuserdetails.cgi" TARGET="CARDS"> 


You may need to pay around with the dummy.htm url - which if used should
represent a 

real placeholding file, and preferably a small one already in browser cache,
since 

there is a danger of contention for the window which can crash some
browsers. 


You might try a button in the form, with this form tag at the top 


<FORM name="main" METHOD="GET" ACTION="inputuserdetails.cgi" TARGET="CARDS">



<input type="button" value="Submit" 

onClick="MM_openBrWindow('dummy.htm','CARDS','scrollbars=yes,resizable= 

yes,width=640,height=600');setTimeout('window.document.main.submit()',2000)"
> 


This gives the window 2 seconds to open and get dummy.htm (which may be a
completely 

blank bodied file) before any submission.

Thanks a lot for that, it works very well except that the browser window
still has the address toolbar on it, the old one did'nt, even though the
code did not specify either way. Bit strange that, anyway the principle
works, and no reliability problems! 


Cheers
