submit a form after confirmation through a customised window

[shiks1305]

Hi all,
I want to submit a form after confirmation through a customised window. I have 4 buttons in <af:form>, one of which is continue button that has to navigate the form to another page while executing the action:
--------------------------------------------------------

<af:commandButton id="continueBtn"
    onclick="return NewWindow()"
    action="#{CoverageMPB.process}" text="continue" />

----------------------------------------------------------------
javascript:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

function NewWindow(){
window.open("url","fg","height=250,width=700");
return false;
}
 
function check(){
if(document.forms[0].radios[0].checked){
self.close();
document.parent.getElementById("my_form").submit(); 
                  //my_form is the id of <af:form> that is the parent document's form.
}
else {
self.close();
}
}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
child window: (jsf file)
----------------------------------------------------------------

<af:form  id="form1" >
        <af:panelBorder id="boder1">
             <af:panelForm labelWidth="5%" id="form2">
                     <af:panelHorizontal>
                     <af:selectOneRadio id="radios" layout="horizontal"  value="" onclick="check()">
                      <af:selectItem label="Yes"   value="Yes"></af:selectItem>
                       <af:objectSpacer width="5"/>
                      <af:selectItem label="No"  value="No"></af:selectItem>
                     </af:selectOneRadio>
                   </af:panelHorizontal>
             </af:panelForm>    
        </af:panelBorder>
</af:form>

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

hi ...

change this:

document.parent.getElementById("my_form").submit();
 

to:

opener.document.getElementById("my_form").submit();

kind regards

Hi,
Thanks for replying. But I've tried putting even that statement. But its not working.

[gits]

try an alert before that statement ... may be you should close the window after! trying to submit?

kind regards

and try to trace whether your condition returns true!

yeah i have done that also. it does return true and it can even click another button in parent form when i replaced submit statement with getElementById( "button2id").cl ick();.
I mean condition is being satisfied for sure and it is able to access the parent form's elements. But doesn't submit the form

and try to trace whether your condition returns true!

kind regards

i'm confused now ... is it a popup window or a frame? please try to explain the related application-design very clear ... in case you have a frame ... then you have a parent ... in case you have a popupwindow or another window at all ... it should be the opener. please explain it in more detail ...

kind regards

ok. see, I have page1.jsf that has submit button. when i click on this button a pop up window should be opened that has a group of 2 radio buttons: "Yes" and "No". Upon selecting any radio button, pop up should be closed. further, if "yes" was selected, page should be submitted.

hi ...

in this case the following function should work:

function check() {
    if (document.forms[0].radios[0].checked) {
        opener.document.getElementById('my_form').submit();
    } 
 
    window.close();
}

try it and let me know whether you get any errors with that or not?

kind regards

[shiks1305]

HI, it was also not working. Then, I changed the logic. Instead of submitting, I am now, clicking that button again and based on a variable (hidden field), making it return true. Now, it's working fine. Anyways, thanks for responses.
