querystring exceeds size limit using window.open

Ben
Thanks in advance for any help. I am attempting to pass a large number
of ID's using window.open in javascript. The number of the ID's exceeds
the querystring length. Therefore, I would like to somehow use the POST
method to submit. (or another method without rewriting the ASP page!)
Please review the code below before submitting since this can be easily
done but I am not sure how using <body onload... >.

%>
<body onload="myFunc( '<%=request("wi d")%>')"></body>
<%

<script language=javasc ript>
function myFunc(w2)
{
var args = "&wono=" + w2;

window.open("te st_alert.asp?"+ args,
null,'width=600 ,height=550,scr ollbars=yes,res izable=yes,stat us=yes,top=10,l eft=50');

}
</script>

This is not really an ASP question, but...

<form method="post"
action="test_al ert.asp"
target="windowN ame"
onsubmit="windo w.open('','wind owName','width= 600,height=550. ..')">

Changing to POST method WILL require some changes to the page.

Since the data for the Test_alert.asp page is already on the server why not
store it somewhere and just send a tag for the data to the client.

The Test_alert can use the tag to retrieve the actual data.

Anthony.

Thanks, but this page is being posted back to itself so there are many
different ways to submit. You are right... more javascript than an ASP
post. Sorry about that.

I was trying to stay away from Session Variables but it looks like I
need to use them. Thanks.

I think you are missing the point. If you want to POST a form into a popup
window, use the TARGET attribute of the FORM element and ensure that target
is opened. I don't care how you implemented it -- my example was meant to
illustrate the use of TARGET.

Besides -- "posted back to itself" is inconsistent with passing "a large
number
of ID's using window.open". Are you saying that each successive instance of
the script will opsn another copy of itself into yet another popup window?

A session variable is one way of doing it but not the only way. You could
use a table in an DB as an alternative.

Thanks Dave... I appreciate your help. Maybe I should be getting away
from <body onload...
Anyway, below is my lastest attempt... opens the new window but no data
submitted to new window. Can you see the problem?

<form name="frmTemp" action="wor_ale rt.asp" method="POST"
target="newWin" >
<input type="hidden" name="wono"
value="<%=reque st("wono")%>">
</form>

<body onload="myFunc1 ();"></body>

function myFunc1() {
var newWin =
window.open("wo r_alert.asp","n ewWin","width=6 00,height=550,s crollbars=yes,r esizable=yes,st atus=yes,top=10 ,left=50");
newWin.document .frmTemp.submit ();
}

Yes: window.open("wo r_alert.asp","n ewWin","width=6 00...");


That should be:
window.open("", "newWin","width =600...");

VS.NET 2002/VB Is it possible to retrieve HTML form variables that are hidden input types using Request.QueryString() and/or Request.Form()? I have tried various ways of using those, but to no avail.

Hi, Lacking javascript knowledge, I just realized why my project has a bug. I am using ASP to loop through a set of records while it creates URLs with a querystring that has a single value pair. This URL needs to open in a floating window if clicked. (this is for an administrator and so opening a small floater gives them more efficient access to the data that will be displayed). I now understand that because the ASP executes first, that...
