Hello.....
I am also facing another problem with a pop-up window.
I have the code where in........i have a web page....

(1) on-click on a button pop-ups a form.
(2) The popup form is through window.open()
(3) I am validating the form in JAVASCRIPT function and then in turn calling another JSP on proper validation.

My problem is that i need to use the ACTION attribute in form so as to send the form values.....apart from validating in JAVASCRIPT.

And if I do so, then there are two events.......onclick().....validation and onsubmit.....calling another JSP.

On validation, I print the textboxes in RED color to indicate error msg.

Since, the JSP is also called through submit() of the ACTION event in the form.....the page is getting refreshed.

CODE:

<script language="JavaScript">

function validate(form)
{
var flag=0;
var regexp=/[0-9]*/;

if(document.AddTasks.TaskName.value=="")
{
document.AddTasks.TaskName.style.backgroundColor='red';
flag=1;
}
</script>

CODE FOR THE FORM:

<form method="POST" name="AddTasks" action="AddTask.jsp">
.....................
....................
<input type="submit" value="Add Task" name="AddTask" onclick=validate(this);>

Here comes the problem.......onclick i am calling validate().....and since it is of type submit().........the form ACTION attribute also calls "Addtask.jsp".......and this call is a must since i need to send some values to another JSP where in i access them using REQUEST.GETPARAMTER().......i need to use the ACTION attribute call...to do so....

Please tell me a way to tackle this problem so that I can validate and show the errors and as well call a JSP on proper validation.

Hello.....

My last problem with pop-up windows is linked to the above scenario....

There is also a scenario where....the pop-up window calls a JSP and the JSP inturn REDIRECTS the result to the parent window.

IF THE POP-UP CHILD WINDOW IS OPEN.......THEN THE REDIRECTION IS BEING SENT TO THE POP-UP WINDOW(THE RESULT BEING DISPLAYED IN THE POP-UP WINDOW AND NOT THE PARENT WINDOW..THAT HAS POP-UP).

THE OTHER WAY ROUND...IF I CHOSE TO CLOSE TO CLOSE THE POP-UP WINDOW.....UPON AN EVENT.....THE PAGE(OF THE PARENT WINDOW) IS NOT GETTING REFRESHED AUTOMATICALLY)...EVENTHOUGH I CHOSE TO REDIRECT TO IT.

Please tell me a way so that I can close the pop-up window...and AUTOMATIC PAGE REFRESH is done to the parent window upon REDIRECTING TO IT.
