Form data to Thickbox?

[rjoseph]

Hi guys

I am using a jquery thickbox script (http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ - iframed content example) to display information in a popup(modal) in the middle of my page. To do this I simply use the following hyperlink in my main page:

<a href="mypage.as p?name=thickbox &keepThis=true& TB_if rame=true&heigh t=550&width=750 " title="More info" class="thickbox ">Open window for more info</a>

This will open a window in the middle of my page with the dimensions of 550x750 and within it load a page called (mypage.asp". This works just fine.

However, I now want to do the same thing but instead of using a simple hyperlink I want to post form data from my main page into my thickbox modal window. It's a very basic form and looks like this:

<form name=myform method=post action=mypage.asp>
<input type="text" name="fullname" size="20">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress" size="20">
<input type="submit">
<input type="hidden" name="key" value="234fdw8">
</form>

Is it possible to submit the form data from my main page into the thickbox modal window? If so, how would this be done? Any help would be fully appreciated

You could build the url sent to the thickbox using javascript (client-side) that contains the data the thickbox page needs).

Good in principle but...

Hi Gaz

Thank you so much for your reply.

Sounds good in principle but have no idea how this is done. Any help would be fully appreciated.

If I get time a bit later I may write a function for you, but you may get a quicker response if you post in the Javascript forum.

Maybe a moderator can move the post?

Hi Gaz

Thanks for your reply.

If you could look into this for me then that would be great!

In the meantime, I will add this post into the javascript section like you suggested.

moved for you. that was the solution I would have suggested as well, and the javascript isn't that bad either.
