How can you pass a value without submitting a form?

I mean, you should have button in the input form. Then you can modify the popup.htm as follows

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <form name="outputform1" >

<table><tr><td>Stitching Number

</td>

<td><%=request.form("txtasno")%>

</td>

<td>Remarks

</td>

<td><%=request.form("txtremarks")%>

</td>

<td>Sales Person

</td>

<td><%=request.form("txtsperson")%>

</td>

</tr></table>

</form>

This may help you.

Thanks and regards,
Vikas

You can pass values without submitting a form. The code you posted assumes the data was posted and just displays it using ASP. Since there are no input fields, there's no need for the form tag.

Also, don't forget to use code tags when posting code.

that is from parent to popup window

realin has posted code which you should be able to adapt to your requirements. Remember though that the popup window will not be available immediately, so you will need something to trigger the passing of value, e.g. a button.

Finally, the language attribute of the script tag is deprecated - use type="text/javascript" instead.

You can do that, but you will need to use a timeout to check for the existence of the window. When it's ready, you can pass the data. An alternative is to call the function in the parent from the popup body onload.

hiya,

well i guess u can call the send_data() function inside the other, ofcourse u can use setTimeout() so as to avoid any sorta problem. But if also integrated a check for the child window, meaning if the child window doesnt exist, it will alert the user and then it won't try to transfer data. Look at the modified code, nevertheless the childwindow code remains the same.

Hi Sheha, welcome to Bytes.

Use window.opener to refer to the parent from the child window.

To open the child window this is the code used in parent window

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<form method=post action='' name=f1>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=550> <tr>

<td ><font size=2 face='Verdana'>Your Name</font><input type=text name='p_name' size='8'> 

<a href="javascript:void(0);" NAME="My Window Name" title=" My title here "

onClick=window.open("child3.html","Ratting",

"width=550,height=170,left=150,top=200,toolbar=1,status=1,");>Click here to open the child window</a>
 
</td></tr> </table></form>

Inside the Child window code is here

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>
 
<script langauge="javascript">

function post_value(){

opener.document.f1.p_name.value = document.frm.c_name.value;

self.close();

}

</script>
 
<title>(Type a title for your page here)</title>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#800080" alink="#ff0000">
 
<form name="frm" method=post action=''>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=250>
 
<tr><td align="center"> Your name<input type="text" name="c_name" size=12 value=test> <input type=button value='Submit' onclick="post_value();">
