Hi,

the approach you are following looks right (prob not what you wanted to hear), can you post the actual code and the html used to drive the javascript so we can take a look and help you better..

You need some server-side scripting, javascript and HTML are client side.

when u create a form in HTML, the values are passed to another page.
[HTML]<form method="GET" action="page.ph p"></form>[/HTML]

method means how to send the data, GET u will see everything the address bar (mysite.com/page.php?someth ing=value&more= somethingelse) and POST wouldn't show up in the address bar (good for when u don't want passwords to be seen).
action means the page that it goes to.

the in the page.php
[PHP]
$val = $_GET["textboxnam e"];
$val = $_POST["textboxnam e"];
[/PHP]
are used depending on what method u used in the form.

this is my code sampel

I call second form from this line :

What i want to do, when i click on submit button from chiald page, and i should back to parents page with reload/refresh screen and parent form fields value should stay the same how i key them, but what ever i do, it's blank

[Purple]

Hi,

some questions -

the following while loop has $controlNumber counter outside the loop - is that correct ?

while ($testrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{
$controlFound=true;
} 
$controlNumber=$controlNumber+1;

the following code has two <?php statements - one of them needs terminating or removing

[PHP]<?php

<input type='button' align='right' value='Add New Test Requirement' class='fancyBut ton' style='width:20 0px' onClick='update Project("contro l")'>
</td>
</tr>

<?php[/PHP]

is this the problem - the html will be interpreted by the php processor - can you fix and run it cause I can't reproduce without the mysql db - also have you got errors turn on for php ?

[Purple]

Hi,

Also

[PHP]<input type='hidden' name='userNumbe r' value='<?php echo $POST_userNumbe r; ?>'>
<input type='hidden' name='projectNu mber' value='<?php echo $POST_projectNu mber; ?>'>[/PHP]

could do with being as follows:

[PHP]<input type='hidden' name='userNumbe r' value='<?php if (isset($POST['userNumber'])) echo $POST['userNumber']; else echo "";?>'>
<input type='hidden' name='projectNu mber' value='<?php if (isset(echo $POST['projectNumber']; echo $POST['projectNumber']; else echo ""; ?>'>[/PHP]

to prevent an error with undefined $_POST variables

This form has another table with detail, so this ControlNumber calculation for this table, it's nothing to do with this form.
THe second <php tag i just copy by mistake, it's not in real code

Project number and userNumber is everywhere like this, I am not touch this part, because i just modified this huge application, someone did this way before and i don't want to mess with this and it's look like nothing to do with passing document form value

[Motoma]

I tried catching up in this post, but I have become a little confused. Perhaps you could clarify for me what you are trying to do once more.

I understand you are trying to pass a value from one text field to another page, but are you doing it with a Javascript _parent child relationship or a form POST?

[dkate777]

i am doing this with Java script

<script type='text/javascript'>

document.newcon trolForm.todayD ate.text = document.contro lForm.todayDate .text
document.newcon trolForm.softde scription.value = document.contro lForm.softdescr iption.value
document.newcon trolForm.summar ydescription.va lue = document.contro lForm.summaryde scription.value
document.newcon trolForm.releas e.value = document.contro lForm.release.v alue
document.newcon trolForm.newrel ease.value = document.contro lForm.newreleas e.value
document.newcon trolForm.Schliv eDate.value = document.contro lForm.SchliveDa te.value
document.newcon trolForm.Actual liveDate.value = document.contro lForm.Actualliv eDate.value

</script>

POST it's not going to work for me. Because i have to fill parent form first, thant i have to click button on parents form and chiald form open.When i fill some information and submit data from chiald form shoul appear on parents form, but all parent field should stay the way how i key. The problem i have , that when i save and submit chiald screen and display information on parents screen, bouth screen reload and refresh, so the safe information from chiald screen there, but fields what was just key gone........... so i try to pass this fields that they stay there till i will submit information from parents screen.
Sorry, for complicated explonation, english it's not my primary language.

From what you have posted here, it seems like this is more of a Javascript related problem. I am going to forward this thread to the Javascript Forum with the hopes that the experts there will be able to give more insight into its solution.

Use window.opener to access the parent window, so, e.g.
[CODE=javascript]window.opener.d ocument.newcont rolForm.Actuall iveDate.value = document.contro lForm.Actualliv eDate.value[/CODE]
