I have a line of javascript code that works from a query builder I have adopted from a colleague. Basically, the query is built in php in a popup window. THis is then added to a form element on the popup window, and the submit button is pressed.
Upon the submit button being pressed, the sql code in the text box, is sent to a text box on the opener form and the popup window is closed.
This works okay using the following javascript code
Code: Select all
function copyForm() {
opener.document.hiddenForm.myTextField.value = document.popupForm.myTextField.value;
window.close();
return false;
}What I am struggling to do now is to get the value of the text box on my original form into a variable. Im guessing that I need to submit the main page form containing the text box.
I could add a submit button, but would like to automate this by having the opener page refresh and submit the new form variable using
$qryValue = $HTTP_POST_VARS['myTextField'];
Does anybody have any idea how I can achieve this, or is there a possible workaround, by sending the query to the caller page as a URL value.
Please go easy Im a newbie.
Many Thanks
Jamie
