Pergunta

I have a working script that passes a value from a popup page to the parent page.

Process Flow is: ParentPage>ChildPage>ParentPage

I have had to change the process flow of my little application to have a 'category select' option on the child page. the process flow is now: ParentPage>ChildPage1>ChildPage2>ParentPage

My application now requires the user to select a value from a popup. the first popup will provide a category choice. once a category is chosen the category products are shown on the next page. the user then selects a product from the options and the value is passed to the original parent page.

I hope I have explained my problem accurately. How can I pass the selected value back to the original parent page. if my parents page is named parent.php, can I hard code the ID of page parent.php into my code:

window.opener.updateValue(parentId, value);

Any assistance is always appreciated.

My working code and proposed code is shown below:

WORKING CODE

parent.php

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>

<script type="text/javascript">  
function selectValue(id) 
{ 
    // open popup window and pass field id 
    window.open('child.php?id=' + encodeURIComponent(id),'popuppage', 
      'width=400,toolbar=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes,height=400,top=100,left=100'); 
} 

function updateValue(id, value) 
{ 
    // this gets called from the popup window and updates the field with a new value 
    document.getElementById(id).value = value; 
} 

</script> 
</head>

<body>

    </td>

<tr>

        <td>2222</td> 
        <td><input type=button value="Select" onClick="sendValue('2222')" /></td>

<?

$category=$_POST[category];

?>
 <form name="selectform"> 
 <table>
    <tr> 
    <tr> 
        <th>Pack Codes for Category <? echo $category; ?></th>

    <tr> 
        <td>1111</td>

        <td>3333</td> 
        <td><input type=button value="Select" onClick="sendValue('3333')" /></td>
    </tr>
    </table>

I know popup pages are not the desired option in this situation but this is where my application is at. Please advise on how I can alter the code on child 2 to point back to the parent.php page. My thinking is to change code below

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function sendValue(value) 
{ 
    var parentId = <?php echo json_encode($_GET['id']); ?>; 
    window.opener.updateValue(parentId, value); 
    window.close(); 
} 
</script>

to this code (hard code the parent ID in - what would this be for parent.php)

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function sendValue(value) 
{ 
    var parentId = <?php echo json_encode($_GET['id']); ?>; 
    window.opener.updateValue('parent.php', value); 
    window.close(); 
} 
</script>

Many Thanks, Ryan

Solução

Ok, here is a summary of my architecture proposition:

main:

var oChild = window.popup('child1.php');
oChild.openerr = window;

child1.php:

var oWin = window.popup('child2.php');
oWin.category = document.getElementById('category').value;
oWin.openerr = window;
//here use window.openerr to access the parent (main)

child2.php:

var g_oXhr = new xmlHttpRequest();
    g_oXhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (g_oXhr.readyState == 4 && (g_oXhr.status == 200)) {
            //use g_oXhr.responseText or g_oXhr.responseXML
        }
    }

    g_oXhr.open("POST", "mysql_query_elements_category.php", true);
    g_oXhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8");
    g_oXhr.send('0=' + encodeURIComponent(window.category));

    //here use window.openerr to access the parent (child1)

here we go :-)

Just answering brutally the question, yes you can do so:

window.opener.updateValue(parentId, value);

I personnally use this system: - main window MAIN - open a popup to pick up a category POPUP - selects a value from popup, setup the category field in MAIN this way: 

var oElem = window.opener.document.getElementById("myElementId");
oElem.value = '...';

Hope it helps!

ps: I didn't try window.opener.opener but I don't see why it wouldn't work...

edit: child2 is posted this: 

$category=$_POST[category];

You could simply open child2 like this: in child1:

wherever.onclick = function(e) {
var ochild2 = window.open('child2.php');
ochild2.category = document.getElementById('category').value;
}

and retrieve the value for category from child2 in javascript using window.category instead of getting it from php $category. Note that in child2.php you don't use the $category variable.

Hope it helps

instead of going through a form.
