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="JavaS cript">
function passValues()
{
// pass variable back to parent window
window.opener.d ocument.form1.i mageURL.value =
document.form2. selected.value;
}
top.window.clos e();
</SCRIPT>
It closes just fine, but imageURL on form1 never changes.
Anyone with ideas on how to make this work is encouraged to offer their
help!!

document.form2. selected.value;
The opener opened the frameset's top window, not the frame your statement
is in. So you want to use top.opener... instead of window.opener.. . here.
In addition, since the popup is not modal, you should avoid error
messages caused by an already closed opener window (or by having another
document in the opener already) by testing if the used properties and
objects are still available:
var oOpener, oOpenerForm, oOpenerElement;
if (
(oOpener = top.opener)
&& !oOpener.closed
&& (oOpenerForm = top.opener.docu ment.forms["form1"])
&& (oOpenerElement = oOpenerForm.ele ments["imageURL"])
) {
oOpenerElement. value
= document.forms["form2"].elements["selected"].value;
}
This looks a little laborious compared to waht you had, but it's
essential to avoid error messages.

Here's what I ended up going with and it works perfectly:
top.window.open er.document.for ms["form1"].elements["imageURL"].value =
"#Form.selected #";
Note: I am processing this script on a ColdFusion page, hence the use of
#Form.selected# .
Thanks again for the help. I wasn't sure how to reference the input back on
my original page.

First a basic outline of what I am trying to do:
I want to have a page spawn a pop-up when you click "submit" on its
form. On this pop-up page there will be another form. When you click
"submit" on the pop-up's form I want the pop-up to close & a new page
to load in the "parent" window/page. I have this working in IE but
cannot get it to work in Firefox. The parent window correctly loads
the new page after submitting from the pop-up,...

I have a page that opens a popup window and within the window, some databse
info is submitted and the window closes. It then refreshes the original
window using window.opener.location.reload(). The problem is that after the
reload, it brings you right to the top of the page. When I click 'refresh"
on the original page, it brings me back to the original viewing position.
Is there a way to duplicate this in from the popup window.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
