Niel out of curiosity.. is your child window modal? If so, the rules
are a little bit different. We've found that the only way to process the
action page nicely (meaning without a blank window opening for a moment),
is
to use a hidden IFRAME on the modal window, and set our form's target to
the
IFrame.
Before we did this (and having proved it again afterwards), we were
getting
some tough javascript problems to fix (unable to refresh the current page,
etc.).
Hope that helps.

That's what I have netscape for. That's the only thing I like about it,
is it's little javascript error log. It catches every javascript error,
unlike IE, which sometimes lets them fly on by without doing anything.

RE: Target back to parent.
Neil;
This might help, it might not. I don't have code handy for forms, but
here's how you do it with links. Perhaps you can adapt this to work with
forms and if you get it, post back to the list.
1. Spawn the new window with a link like this:
A HREF=Javascript:open_window('window.cfm');Open window/A
2. In window.cfm, use the following JS code in the HEAD block:
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript
function windowManager(url) {
window.parent.opener.location = url;
window.parent.close();
}
/SCRIPT
3. Also in the spawned window.cfm, put this code which will load
the value of the HREF in the original window and close the spawned
window:
A HREF=javascript:windowManager('newfile.cfm')New page in original
window, close this one./A

RE: Target back to parent.
Yes, the Form object has a Target attribute. (i.e. form action=mypage.cfm target=_top) If needed, I think you can set the target dynamically through JS document.forms[0].target=MainWindow; (I could be wrong on this though... couldn't find confirmation in my JS book.)

RE: Target back to parent.
Oh I see what you mean.
Hmmm, never tried that before. Something you might try is putting a
hidden form on the opener, then setting the values with javascript in
the child, and finally submit and close the child window.
This would be in the parent window:
form name=blah action=whatever.cfm method=post
input type=hidden name=foo value=
/form
Then in the child window, you would put:
function submitForm(){
opener.document.blah.foo.value = somevalue;
opener.document.blah.submit();
window.close()
}

RE: Target back to parent.
Hm good point. But, you should be able to do something like window.opener.name but check to make sure it's not null But now that I think of it, maybe the other method would be best assigning values from the child window to hidden form fields on the main. at least I can see how that would work properly, but it DOES take a bit more coding up front... Let me know what you come up with, I can see us needing something like that here right quick Shawn Grover -Original Message- From: Neil H.

RE: Target back to parent.
Don't know if the name property of a window is readonly or not, but if it isn't, then you could try something like this: script window.name = MainWindow; var subwin = open(.); /script and then set your target on the child window to the name you defined in the script.

That's what I have netscape for. That's the only thing I like about it, is it's little javascript error log. It catches every javascript error, unlike IE, which sometimes lets them fly on by without doing anything. _ steve oliver senior internet developer atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -Original Message- From: Neil H.

RE: Target back to parent.
Niel out of curiosity.. is your child window modal? If so, the rules are a little bit different. We've found that the only way to process the action page nicely (meaning without a blank window opening for a moment), is to use a hidden IFRAME on the modal window, and set our form's target to the IFrame. Before we did this (and having proved it again afterwards), we were getting some tough javascript problems to fix (unable to refresh the current page, etc.). Hope that helps.
