Is there a technique for this?
Take a standard order-entry. You have your "header" info with the PO number,
and Tax rate, etc. and then you have one to many item lines. Currently I do
it all on one screen, but this is a PITA when an order has a lot of items as
it results in a lot of server-trips as well as scroling.
Everything is written in PHP.
What I'd like to do is have the "add new line item" and the "edit line item"
buttons create a pop-up where the user can enter, say up to ten times per
screen (that part is easy). Then when they click the submit button, the pop
closes and the bottom screen (with the PO number and Tax rate, etc.) gets
updated with line items.
I'm an accomplished PHP coder but my html and my javascript are not at the
same level. Is there some "magic" out there that makes all of this easy? Is
there some javascript that will close the pop, close the under-window, and go
back to server where I can update a database and re-direct the user to a new
(i.e. updated) order-entry screen.
The only alternative I know of would be to instruct the user with a "Please
Press the Recalc Button On Main Screen After This Pop-Up Closes" message.
But that seems so lame.
Thanks for any ideas, links, examples, etc.

theres lots of javascript for stuff like this. just do a google search on
accessing and passing form variables betwen windows. example: on the child
popup, if you want to pass a value to a form on the parent, use
window.opener.d ocument.parentf ormname.formbox name.value = value;
value on the child window could be
document.childf ormname.another formboxname.val ue
if you want to do alot of these, have the newvalue form in the popup. on
clicking a button, or a simple text link with javascript funtion as the
link, use onclick to call a function that will pass the values in the form
as shown above. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

In the recent "transforming a list into a string" thread, we've been
discussing the fact that list.pop() is O(1), but list.pop(0) is O(n). I
decided to do a little timing experiment. To be sure, I did verify
experimentally the expected result, but along the way, I came upon an
interesting artifact that I'm at a loss to explain.
I used the following to generate some timing numbers for pop() on
various sized lists:

I would like to open an exit pop when a user leaves my site, but I

I'm using the onUnload attribute of the Body tag to do this. All
internal links set a variable of inSite to true on their onClick event

link.
Should the user hit the back button, the pop will be displayed. Is

Hi group,
I'm playing with a little generic linked list/stack library, and have a
little problem with the interface of the pop() function. If I used a
struct like this it would be simple:
struct node {
struct node *next;
void *data;
};

Howdy Folks,
I was just playing around in IDLE at the interactive prompt and typed
in dir({}) for the fun of it. I was quite surprised to see a pop
method defined there. I mean is that a misnomer or what? From the
literature, pop is supposed to be an operation defined for a stack
data structure. A stack is defined to be an "ordered" list data
structure. Dictionaries in Python have no order but are sequences.
Now, does anyone know...

With pop() you remove the last element of a list and return its value:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
