Question on using prototype

I am using the stripes framework and I''m stuck on a problem that
I''m
hoping prototype can resolve.

In a parent window I use javascript to open up a second window pop-up
that contains a textarea and a submit button.  When I click on the
submit button I execute a stripes actionBean that updates the database
and closes the pop-up window.

The parent window is still up and I am wondering how to get the parent
window that is already active updated.  Can Ajax.Updater help with
that?

I''ve tried a suggestion of having a floating div with a textarea but
have not been able to make that work.

Any suggestions or direction would be appreciated.

Re: Question on using prototype

You don''t need any library to do that. When your popup window
refreshes, send something like this :

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onload="doLoad();">
<script type="text/javascript">
  if ( window.opener ) {
    window.opener.refresh();
  }
  window.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>


That will refresh the parent window (if there''s one), then close
itself.

Re: Question on using prototype

Yanick,

Please forgive these questions but needing some javascript help as I am
no javascript expert, where is doLoad()?  Also, would not having doLoad
in the onload of the body close the pop-up window after the form is
loaded.

Can I put this script in a function and call it from an onsubmit within
the form tag?

Your help is appreciated.  Regards.

Re: Question on using prototype

Yeah, sorry about that :) I wrote that quite fast didn''t I ?

the code should have been :

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onload="doLoad();">
<script type="text/javascript">
  function doLoad() {
    if ( window.opener ) {
      window.opener.refresh();
    }
    window.close();
  }
</script>
</body>
</html>

TIP : you should only call functions directly inside HTML elements.
So, you should not do :

<body onload="alert(''loaded'');">

but instead

<body onload="doLoad();">           (or some other function)

and declare "doLoad" in a script tag.

Re: Question on using prototype

Gday Mel,

Maybe try adding an onsubmit function to the form in the popup that 
calls a function in the parent?

Something like:

<form
onsubmit="window.parent.updateSomething($F(''textAreaID''))">

and on the parent:

function updateSomething(newText) {
    Element.update(''divToUpdate'', newText);
}

I dont know what the stripes framework is, but this might point you in 
the right direction.

Goodluck,

Keith
