SUBWindow for selection of values

[news.online.no]

Hi all,
Trying to figure out how to generate a subwindow with data based on field
values from a main window. The ASP application is mostly written in
VBSCRIPT. Wants to:

1. Create the subwindow, NOW accomplished by javascript connected with
search-button
2. Get the values from the fields in the main window to the subwindow, NOW
accomplished by javascript
3. Search (serverside) in a oracle database based on the field-values, and
display matches.
4. Based on user selection (link ?) return the values to the main window
fields, has NOW been able to do
this with "dummy" values using javascript.

The problems seems to be to communicate the prametervalues from the main
window to the subwindow.
An alternative may be to use QueryString to transmit it to the window, and
javascript to transmit it back to the main window. Suggestions and
source-exmples would be appreciated.

Thanks
Stein

This can be accomplished with client-side scripting.

Try here

and microsoft.public.scripting.jscript or one of the IE or HTML groups.

Thanks but the problem seems to be that I have to make database selections
to populate
the window, and this will ofcourse have to be done on the server side.
Simple client-side
scripting will in itself not be sufficent.

Keep 1-3

Add a function to the parent window that can be called to set the desired
values. Attach this function to the window (this.setvalue =
mysetvaluefunction;)

Make the links in the child window call javascript to call
window.opener.setvalue(...) to set the values (note: parent and child
scripts will need to be on the same site).

Have you tried Session Variables?
