    window.open

    Hi,
    if I opened a php-page using

    ... onclick=\"help= window.open('he lp.php', 'Help',
    'innerHeight=40 0,innerWidth=40 0,screenX=555,s creenY=250,depe ndent=Yes,bar=Y es');
    ....

    is there a way to send data to the invoked page (help.php)? Something
    like $_POST[....] if I would use a HTML form-submit?
    Setting cookies or store data in mysql are not so very elegant solutions.

    Can somebody give me hint?

      Just add a query string after help.php:

      ... onclick=\"help= window.open('he lp.php?a=10&b=2 0&c=40', 'Help',

      'innerHeight=40 0,innerWidth=40 0,screenX=555,s creenY=250,depe ndent=Yes,bar=Y e
      s');
      ...

      Hope it helps
      Henri

          window.open(... ) is a GET operation, you can not POST data to the page being opened.
          However, you can pass approximately 2Kb of data on the URL itself during the GET
          operation:

          window.open(
          'help.php?a=' + clientSideVaria ble,
          'Help',
          '...attributes. ..'
          );

          If you actually want to POST data, you're going to have to store it in a form and
          POST that form:

          <form name="myHiddenF orm" method="POST" action="help.ph p" target="Help">
          <input type="hidden" name="myHiddenV alue" value="">
          </form>
          <a href="noJS.html "
          onclick="submit Form('myHiddenF orm');return false;">Help</a>
          <script type="text/javascript">
          function submitForm(name ) {
          var f = document.forms[name];
          if (f) {
          window.newWindo wHtml = [
          '<html>',
          '<head>',
          '<title></title>',
          '</head>',
          '<body onload="',
          'var w;',
          'if ((w = window.opener) &&',
          '(w = w.document) &&',
          '(w = w.forms) &&',
          '(w = w[\'' + name + '\'])) {',
          'w.submit();',
          '}',
          'window.focus() ;',
          '">',
          '</body>',
          '</html>'
          ].join('\n');
          window.open(
          'javascript:ope ner.newWindowHt ml',
          f.target,
          '...attributes. ..'
          );
          }
          }
          </script>
