Passing values from child to parent form

[prriya pratheep]

Hi,

I want to return values from child to parent form.I want to return the value in a text box, name of text box is a dynamic one.

The below is the text box where value is goint to display.

out.println("<input size=\"7\" type=\"text\" 
name=\"zdist" + db.getLineItemNo() + "\" value=\"" + 
db.getZDIST_1() + "\"  onChange=\"calculateGP(this.form," + db.getLineItemNo() + 
");\">");

In child form

function exit (matnr1,lines)
{
     if (lines=='10')
	opener . document . name1 . zdist10. value = matnr1;
      if (lines=='20')
	opener . document . name1 . zdist20. value = matnr1;

	close ();
}

Here instead of zdist10 and zdist20 I want it should be dynamic like zdist plus lines.
for example lines is 10 then zdist10,if it 50 then zdist should zdist50..

Please help to do this.

Child form? Parent form? There is no such concept. What do you mean by this? Are you nesting forms?

Also, do not show servlet code in an HTML forum. Show only the generated HTML code.

Parent form and child form...what i mean is

JSP program A calls another JSP program B

In A I am calling B like this

{
  child = open
        (

                "ZSOR_zau_R.jsp?lineno="+line,
                "ZSOR_zau_R",
                "width=400,height=200,scrollbars,resizable"
        );


function keep_child_on_top ()
{
        if (child != null)
                if (child . closed)
                        child = null;
                else
                        child . focus ();
}

}

I am calling ZSOR_zau_R.jsp and in ZSOR_zau_R.jsp I am returning values to A like this

<script>
function exit (matnr1,lines)
{
      if (lines=='10')
	opener . document . name1 . zdist10. value = matnr1;
	if (lines=='20')
	opener . document . name1 . zdist20. value = matnr1;

	close ();
}
  </script>

Instead of hardcoding zdist10,zdist20 i want zdist+lines where lines is the parameter.

Thanks for quick reply

What is up with the weird spacing? lol

You should always use window, it is very bad practice to leavr it off.

window.open, window.opener

Use the form array and use a string:

document.forms["formName"].elements["elementName"].value = "foo";
