Popup Window from JSP

[Snehal Kamble]

I have a JSP i.e. parent window with a hyperlink . On click of the hyperlink i call a javascript to call popup window .
window.open("login.do","PopUp");
The login.do struts path on success calls Popup.jsp. There is a text field on Popup.jsp the value of the text field i want on parent window in some hidden field.
How do i do that ?
I tried using opener.document.<form name>.<text field>.value
but it doesn't work.
The form on parent window is undefined.

Can you pass the value of the textbox as a request parameter ?
window.open("login.do?text=value","PopUp");

Hey Satou,actually he needs values from child window (popup) to the parent window - not the opposite one.

right .. i require values from popup window to parent window .
if i do alert(window.opener) on Popup.jsp it is shown as undefined.
Hence javascript in Popup.jsp
function setValue(val)
{
window.opener.document.PARENT_FORM.parentfield.value=val;
window.close();
}
doesn't work..

Did you try with self.opener ?

[Snehal Kamble]

tried with self.opener also but doesn't help

As this has clearly become about HTML and Javascript. moved to that forum.

you need to return false on the onclick of the hyperlink

onclick="functionName();return false;"

When you do that, it should work.
