Hi bec.!
You can't avoid the alert box - it's a safety feature. Assuming you have
nothing untoward displayed from your Application.cfm or OnRequestEnd.cfm
pages, on the parent page write something like this:
<CFSETTING ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="Yes">
<CFSET Local.TemplateID="ID: /dbabbitt-test/parent.cfm, v1.0.0 10/14/2001
8:07:05 PM dbabbitt">
<CFOUTPUT><!--
#Local.TemplateID#
-->
</CFOUTPUT>
<!---
Description:
This template displays the link to the popup window.

<CFSET Variables.WindowURL="child.cfm">
<CFSET Variables.WindowWidthIs="340">
<CFSET Variables.WindowHeightIs="35">

var windowLeft = (screen.availWidth - windowWidth)/2;
var windowTop = (screen.availHeight - windowHeight)/2;
var newWindow = window.open(windowURL, "Link",
"toolbar=0, location=0,

if(newWindow.opener == null) {newWindow.opener =
window};
newWindow.focus();
}
</SCRIPT>

Subject: pop up windows
i have a template that i want to be able to have a link that you would click
on that would launch a popup window. the contents of that popup window when
changed will effect the template underneath. my problem is that the window
doesnt automatically close after i click on submit (an alert box asks me if
i really want to close the window) i click on yes, but it doesnt refresh
the template. how can i get the template to automatically refresh with the
new changes and the popup window to just close after the submit button is
clicked? i used window.close() but that still gives me that alert box.
thanks,
bec.
