My problem deals with working with window objects between
pages as follows:
My Introduction page contains a link to my Action page.
The onClick of that link creates a series of random numbers
that are appended to the end of the url of the Action page.
After initiating the link the URL of the Action page
looks like this:
http://Action.htm?61,65,24,22 etc x 16.
Now a user chooses two of those numbers, say 61 and 24,
from the Action page and they are sent to a Pop-Up page.
On the Pop-up page the user has to choose between
the two numbers, say he or she chooses 61.
**How do I get that number, 61, back to the Action page?**
The problem I am having is that I don't know how
to set the Action page as an object, because of adding
the random numbers on the end it makes it tuff.
Normally I would create an object like
var ActionPage = window.open("Action.htm", "Action"),
but that won't work because of the random Numbers.
I had to send them from the Introduction page, therefore
the Action page object I created on the Introduction page
is wiped out when the Action page JavaScript loads.
I also can't send anything back to the Action page's URL
because I need it to stay how it is for the random numbers.
Final Notes: I don't know CGI so I can't use it yet. Although
it is bad form, this page is completely dependent on JavaScript
otherwise I would have to write 4000 pages, which won't work.
