Hi,

Is there a way to return a value from a control inside a popup and assign it
to a control inside the parent form?

Thanks,

A page opened with a window.open call gets a reference to the page that
opened it in window.opener property. You can call a javascript function as

window.opener.s etPopupResults ("ok");

where setPopupResults is a javascript function you can write for accepting
string values from the popup. Depending on your requirements, this function
can set the control value on client side or pass the value on to the server
to finish the job there.

Hey, I am trying to figure this out. The hyperlinks on my page open up a small popup window. I have no reason to refresh the parent page or what have you. I was living in a very happy world, with no problems or disturbances. However, a problem has since arisen: The search engines have indexed these popup pages. So, you load them, but there are no links on them, and there is no parent page. Many people would not check out the url and...

I need to popup a window, allow the user to select an image, update the parent window with this new value (requires a refresh) and then close the child window. Are there any examples of something similar to this? Thanks, Joe

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
