How To: Popup Website A from Website B?

svd

Hi all,

First off, I'm developing in VB.NET 2003.

I would like to have a button on Company A's web page display Company B's
web page in a popup window. It needs to pass a serialzed class object to the
popup web page, which can be picked up in its pageload() hander. Further,
closing the popup should return a serialized class object. I'm fine with the
serialization part, just confused over the popup and passing data part.

I think this can only be accomlished using javascript and a hidden field on
each web page. I tried a number of examples, but could never get any of them
to run properly.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks,

Steve

I posted the skeleton of a solution to this at
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...61483629a4dca5

Let me know if that's any help to you. Alternatively, let me know if it
_isn't_. I was doing exactly the same thing: sending initialisation
objects to a child window, performing work from user input, then
sending js objects back to the parent.

Okay, an example with no fluff. The extra bits in the other example are
there to allow your two pages to vary independently of one another. I
had the situation where I had to open several windows from the first
page, and used different callback functions for those windows.

Company A:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var serializedObject = {Foo:"Foo", Bar:"Bar"};
var myChild;

function getInitializationObject(){ return serializedObject; }

function receiveObject(data) {alert("received :"+data);}

function openWindow(){myChild = window.open("companyB.htm");}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<input type="button" value="Talk to Company B" onclick="openWindow()"
/>
</body>
</html>

----------------

Company B:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

function sendValue()
{
var result = {result:
document.getElementById("senderBox1").value};
this.opener.receiveObject(result);
}

function Handshake()
{
var initObject = this.opener.getInitializationObject();
alert("received :"+initObject);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="Handshake()">

<input type="text" id="senderBox1" />
<input type="button" onclick="sendValue()" value="send value" />
</body>
</html>
