pass data to new window

[bindu]

I want to open a new window when a user enters some data and clicks a button on the current window. I used the window.open() in the onclick event of the button to open the new window. I already used session variables to store and pass the data that the user entered, but the problem is it works fine for the first time. Later on when I tried by entering a different value, it still shows the old value in the new window. Actually i have written code to change the value of the sessionvariable, when a user enters a new value and i gets the correct result (new value of the session variable) in the old window. From that page only i clicks a button to open the new window still it shows the old value.

Can we see the code you're using? Sounds like you're not updating the variable being passed to the popup window...

here is the code.
<%
if session("OcsReferId") <> "" then
Session("OcsReferId") = ""
end if


If Request.form("ocsreferal") <> "" then
Session("OcsReferId") = Request.Form("ocsreferal")

else
Response.Redirect("case-dump.asp")
end if
%>

is that the code for the new window?
can you also post the code for the parent window?

Yes, it sounds like you aren't updating the client-side javascript with the correct server-side parameters before you send them to the client...

Let's see the page (and the code on it) that opens the window.

no, it's the code in the parent window which i used to overwrite the previous session value and it works fine in the parent window.from that page only i clicks a button to open the new window (that too after rewriting the session value) still it was showing the previous value.

can you post the important codes for the parent and popup windows?
