    How to submit a form in a popup window?

    using Javascript, I am opening a web-based url in a popup window.

    MyWin1=Window.O pen(url, "mywindow")

    There is a form (form1) in the url in that popup window, I need to
    submit that form.

    How do I submit that form1 from the javascript from my current window?

    Thanks.

    ask my queries.

        OK so far.

        Submit it to where?
        If your popupwindow has a form, it can also submit it, just as all other
        pages.
        If you have something like the following code in your popup, you should
        be fine:

        <form action="somescr ipt.php" method="Post>
        Your name: <input type="text" name="firstname ">
        <input type="submit" value="Post me">
        </form>

        If you are asking: "How do I post my form to a webpage" the answer is
        simple: You don't.
        Forms are NOT send to a HTML document, but to a script on some server
        (named 'somescript.php ' in my above example) that is able to receive the
        forminformation .

        However, you CAN tranfer the information filled in to some other window
        (using JavaScript).

        Is THAT what you are after?

          Not from where I am sitting.

          And I don't know what the OP wants either.

            Should be at least:

            var myWin1 = window.open(url , "mywindow", "resizable,scro llbars");

            ECMAScript implementations are case-sensitive (unless you are mistaken that
            you are using "Javascript " in the first place), and the minimum features
            argument is necessary for meeting accessibility guidelines (and legislation).

            URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is but an address. You live in a house (or a
            tent, or a cave, or ... ;-)), not in an address, don't you?

            I will assume you mean the popups opener by "current window". Suppose then
            "form1" is the value of the `form' element's `name' or `id' attribute (the
            latter not as well supported by this):

            myWin1.document .forms["form1"].submit();

            (Easy and most obvious, isn't it?) However, users will not take kindly on
            content being submitted without them agreeing to it explicitly. What do you
            think you need this for anyway?
            could anyone recommend a newsgroup on javascript for newbies where I can
            ask my queries.
            If a newsgroup existed where only newbies were posting, it could obviously
            not be recommended here, because there you would inevitably receive the
            worst kind of help possible, making you to stay a newbie forever: blind
            leading the blind.

            So ISTM you are not asking for a newsgroup for newbies, but for lusers.
            Fortunately, AFAIK there is no such newsgroup in the Big 8. (From
            crossposts getting in here now and then, it would appear alt.ALL quite often
            provides the cuddly, self-deceived, incompetent, dangerous kind of help that
            you are asking for.)

            In fact, this newsgroup is for newbies as well, provided they take heed of
            the well-meaning recommendations in the FAQ and FAQ Notes, and do not play
            stupid like this.

              oops! I was trying it all in JavaScript shell that I am used to use for
              my greasemonkey script debugging, so I didn't pay attention to these
              differences.

              thanks for correcting in the first step itself.

              Not in the URL, but in the (HTML) document referred to by the URL. The
              URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is but an address. You live in a house (or a

              perfectly correct.

              There is a form (by the name form1) in the html that was opened from
              that url in the popup window by this javascript.

              I am doing some info aggregation from that page that I am opening in the
              popup window.

              That form actually is submitted by a "search" button. there are some
              fields in which various combinations of options are put (that I am doing
              by javascript) and then the search button is pressed (form is submitted).

              Each setting of options fetches different set of results from the
              website that get displayed on the next page. I am saving all such pages,
              agreegating their data into a single set, alongwith the option taht
              caused that set of data to show up.

              No way. There are so many "empty" ngs on net that I was not sure on
              picking up the right one. I had subbed to a few more and then unsubbed.
              This one was showing traffic but when my post didn't fetch a single
              reply in 8+ hours, I started having doubt that it might also be an
              "empty" ng, so I had asked.

                submit that to its net server where some script will take the other
                inputs supplied by the form1 and return data to the popup window.
                If your popupwindow has a form, it can also submit it, just as all other
                pages.
                If you have something like the following code in your popup, you should
                be fine:
                >
                <form action="somescr ipt.php" method="Post>

                </form>
                >
                If you are asking: "How do I post my form to a webpage" the answer is
                simple: You don't.
                no, no. that is a url opened in that popup page and its form is to be
                submitted to the mothership.
                Forms are NOT send to a HTML document, but to a script on some server
                (named 'somescript.php ' in my above example) that is able to receive the
                forminformation .
                yeah, that is what is happening.

                once I submit the form in the popup window and it returns with some
                data, I have to transfer that data to some other window or better to
                some disk file. dos copy command can combine several files in one go,
                that windows GUI just is not able to do.

                  Hi,

                  For clearity's sake, lets name all the objects. :-)

                  You have:
                  1) Your basic window, let call it 'mainwindow'.
                  It has some button or hyperlink that creates a new window.

                  2) Your popupwindow. Lets name it 'popupwin'.
                  This popupwin has a form we call 'form1'.
                  Lets say form1 has the action-attribute action="process form1.php"

                  once I submit the form in the popup window and it returns with some
                  data, I have to transfer that data to some other window or better to
                  some disk file. dos copy command can combine several files in one go,
                  that windows GUI just is not able to do.
                  Erm......
                  Dos?
                  Filesystem and files?
                  These things are NOT accessible by JavaScript under normal circumstances.
                  Suppose you are browsing the internet and you come across a webpage that
                  starts modifying your filesystem?
                  Or starts calling DOS commands?
                  That is why JavaScript lives in a box in your webbrowser, and cannot
                  reach futher (unless you run older IE versions).

                  If you ask how you can let the server give back a webpage that tells
                  something via Javascript to mainwin (after posting form1 from popupwin),
                  that is easy.

                  1) After the server receives the form1 information (via the abovedefined
                  script processform1.ph p), it responds with:
                  [example in PHP code]

                  ... doctype html.. body.. etc
                  <script type="text/javascript">
                  var serverresponse = "<?php echo "Hi, this is the serverresponse" ; ?>";
                  // You can add more of course.
                  // Now you have a variable in javascript named serverresponse that
                  // holds something.

                  // Tell the mainwin about it:
                  var myMainWin = window.opener;
                  myMainWin.setRe sponse(serverre sponse);

                  // Optionally close the popup with:
                  window.close();
                  </script>

                  In your mainwin you must have a JavaScriptfunct ion defined setResponse,
                  for example:

                  function setResponse(som eResponse){
                  alert ("This is mainwindow talking. I received from
                  popup:"+someres ponse);
                  }

                  Hope that helps.

                    Hmm, not enough for a newbie, I guess.

                    There are 13 full pages of data (say, with 100 records each) that would
                    be given back by the server in response to the submit form1.

                    It would be listed as 1,2,...,12,13 links (to each of the 13 pages), and
                    only such 3-4 links would be displayed on any page, but other nearby
                    pages' links will be there.

                    I have to pick those 13 pages and merge those data and save in a dos file.

                    It is just not convenient to transfer such volume of received data back
                    to mainwindow for saving, can't

                    Can't I just save each page on the disk, in the popup window itself? or
                    fetch the link of the 13 pages each time and transfer that link back to
                    mainwindow, for saving either just the 13 links or fetching and saving
                    the 13 files from those links?

                    At least, then, I can run some other command, like launch an excel file
                    with a VBA macro that would then process those 13 files.

                    A javascript should be able to save files/ data on the disk. After all,
                    we do save, files in browser.

                      There are 13 full pages of data (say, with 100 records each) that would
                      be given back by the server in response to the submit form1.

                      It would be listed as 1,2,...,12,13 links (to each of the 13 pages), and

                      pages' links will be there.

                      It is just not convenient to transfer such volume of received data back

                      Can't I just save each page on the disk, in the popup window itself? or
                      fetch the link of the 13 pages each time and transfer that link back to
                      mainwindow, for saving either just the 13 links or fetching and saving
                      the 13 files from those links?
                      If you develop a webapplication, you must design it rigth (duh).
                      In this case, you designed it in a way where you didn't give it any
                      thought WHERE the data actually goes.
                      That is the problem.

                      I think it is best for you to solve this issue SERVERSIDE. No need for
                      JavaScript, only maybe to open a window or give focus to the right
                      formelements.

                      I saw you posting in comp.lang.php (without googlegroups, good!).
                      PHP is a great language to script you on the server.

                      So learn PHP (if you hadn't already) and let PHP do the merging of the data.

                      At least, then, I can run some other command, like launch an excel file
                      with a VBA macro that would then process those 13 files.

                      A javascript should be able to save files/ data on the disk. After all,
                      we do save, files in browser.
                      Well, you cannot save files with JavaScript. Period.
                      You can safe some info in a cookie, but that is really messy, and not
                      suited for many pages filled with data. (Most browsers accept only a few
                      KiloBytes for a cookie).

                      Go serverside. There lies your solution.

                      Good luck!

                        No way. There are so many "empty" ngs on net that I was not sure on
                        picking up the right one. I had subbed to a few more and then unsubbed.
                        This one was showing traffic but when my post didn't fetch a single
                        reply in 8+ hours, I started having doubt that it might also be an
                        "empty" ng, so I had asked.
                        The news server your picked for posting (aioe.org) is not exactly a good
                        one, which would appear to apply not only to its reputation (as mainly being
                        the source of troll and spam postings due to its "everything allowed, for
                        free, no authentication" policy) but also to its news feed.

                        Between your OP at 2008-08-07T01:01+0200 and your followup at
                        2008-08-07T09:14+0200, 6 postings have arrived here (which is quite good
                        considering that many knowledgeable regulars would rather be working, going
                        out or be asleep at that time), and e.g. Google Groups shows that this is
                        quite an active newsgroup. In addition, your question was worded badly; I
                        just happened to guess your meaning correctly. See also
