Hey guys (and girls),
I'm having trouble accessing data from an old window in a new window.
Let me re-phrase this...
The user of my site needs to click an 'open' button on the page to open a data record. The button opens the record in a new window. This is where the problem is, I need to get the information off of the initial page and use it in the new window.
I've tried cookies, and that is not working.. here is what i did when i tried using cookies, maybe it's something simple that i'm not doing right (i'm new to this whole web programming thing)...
This is when i set the cookie...Code: Select all
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="log.php">
<p><h2>Notes</h2>
<select name="notes" size="5" id="notes">
<?php fill_notes($id); ?>
</select><br />
<input name="add_note" type="submit" id="add_note" value="Add" />
<textarea rows="2" name="add_note_text" cols="50"></textarea>
<br />
<input name="edit_note" type="submit" id="edit_note" value="Edit" />
<textarea rows="2" name="edit_note_text" cols="50"></textarea>
<br />
<input name="delete_note" type="submit" id="delete_note" value="Delete" />
<br />
<input name="open_note" type="button" id="open_note" value="Open" onclick=
<?php setcookie("message", $_POST["notes"], time() + 86400); ?>"open_notes()" />
</p>Code: Select all
<head>
<title>Note-Taker</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Function: open_notes()
// Parameters: none
// Returns: none
// Description: opens a note in the user's list in a full popup window
function open_notes()
{
//Get the message
var message = document.getElementById("notes").value;
//Open the note in a new simple popup window
window.open("message.php", "winlink", "height=400, width=800");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
Code: Select all
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Message Viewer</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_COOKIE["message"]))
{
$message = $_COOKIE["message"];
echo '$message';
}
else
{
print("Sorry, an error has occured..."); //THIS ALWAYS PRINTS...
}
?>
</body>
</html>If you need more background info, just let me know..
Thanks again!
