Re: How do i automatically submit a form, after returning from a nested pageflow popup window?

[Carlin Rogers]

Hey Scott,

One option might be to provide your own JavaScript function to be called
when the popup window closes (the onPopupDone attribute of the
netui:configurePopup tag). Your routine could get the fields from the map
passed to your routine and then do submit. And the other option would be to
design your nested flow for the popup to do the actual submit of the login
then the value returned to the original flow could be the status of the
login or the username to display.

Good luck with this.

i have a login.jsp which has a 'Login' link which pops a netui window via

nested pageflow.

the use case is almost the same as the popupWindows sample, but i would
like
to automatically
submit the form once the popup window values has been returned to
login.jsp.

currently, the user has to press the submit button in login.jsp.

does anyone have any suggestions for a way to achieve this?

many thanks,
