JavaScript - Need Popup Window To Add Text To Parent Window Text Field
Hey there everybody!
I'm learning javascript, and I am having trouble figuring out how to do this. Maybe you guys can help me out. What I need is for my main page to have a text field. Above the text field there should be a set of images for bold, italics, underline, etc; when you click on them it inserts the html code <b></b> at the cursor point. Next I want there to be a link, that when clicked will open a popup box with smileys. When you click on one of the smiley images it should insert the smiley code (example :smile: ) into the parent window text field. And would it be possible to make that work with pages of emotes? Or perhaps a second popup window? I hope I explained that without it sounding confusing. I would really appreciate any help. Here is my basic code, it does not include a popup code however. Code: <html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function insert(el,ins) {
window.lstText={};
if (el.setSelectionRange){
el.value = el.value.substring(0,el.selectionStart) + ins + el.value.substring(el.selectionStart,el.selectionEnd) + el.value.substring(el.selectionEnd,el.value.length);
}
else if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange) {
el.focus();
var range = document.selection.createRange();
range.text = ins + range.text;
}
}
</script>
<body>
<form>
<textarea rows="20" cols="100" name="txt1" onfocus="window.lstText=this;">
This is sample text, click anywhere in here then
choose on of the buttons above to see text inserted.
</textarea><br /><br />
<img src="http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/vwcorrado/Docs_smiley.jpg" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'hello')">
<input type="button" value="hi" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'hi')">
<br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Similar TutorialsHi all can someone guide me (total JS newbie) on this presumably pretty easy task? I have a "parent" page with some text inputs in it (a form). This is what I am after: -when the user clicks a link it pops open a new window via JS - "child" (this is working). -in the "child" window there are also some text inputs (another form) (done). -when the user changes the value for 'testChild_textInput_4' in the child window, then I want it to automatically set this same value, to effectively overwrite, what is currently in 'testParent_textInput_2' in the parent window. Presumably this involves an onChange event, but it is also OK with me if the needful (the text input's value in the parent window being overwritten) happens upon the child window's form submit. If anyone can show me either trick, I would be thrilled! I set up a test page to make this all easy to talk about: http://www.yellow-turtle.com/testDumpMe_parent.html Please let me know! Thanks! -John I wish to add a help icon to variousd parts of my pages that places an overlay text box for the help that that help icon relates to. maybe a call like help(datefield) or help(somethingelse) then the script that shows the help text shows the text that relates to the string passed. can someone please provide information on how i can do this. Hi I wanted to control parent page form popup.

Thanks I have a popup window which display a list of values in a tabular form. I have no problem to do the popup or display the table. The table has two columns; one is the "code" and the other is the "description". When a row is highlighted and the "SELECT" button in the popup window is clicked, I am supposed to pass the "code" of the highlighted row back to an input textfield in the parent window. And I am struggling with it. Would anybody kindly help? i have this code i need to close the parent.html window when the child window opened, i need the code for that working well in IE and Firefox Parent.html <HTML> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> function sendTo() { window.open('child.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+''); } </SCRIPT> <BODY > <form name="form"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails1"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails2"> </br> <input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="sendTo()"> </BODY> </HTML> child.html <html> <body> <form> <input type=text name="text5" value=""> <input type=submit name="submit"value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> Hi All, I need to show/focus the parent window which is in back when click a link from child window in Chrome.This problem is in Chrome browser only.

Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,311 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts Window is not defined. window is. JavaScript (and the DOM) is case sensitive. You must pay attention to upper/lower case spelling, carefully. By the way, you shouldn't need the blur() call. If you focus on some window (any window) then any other focus should be lost. I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code: Code: checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>")
After following the instructions from the answer below: http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/an...arent-document I was able to have the child window perform the function defined in the parent window. The function was to only have an alert window pop up as the child page was loading. I easily modified this to my intention which was to have a parent function performed when the child window was clicked. Using the body tag: Code: <body onclick="parent.FUNCTION NAME HERE()"> I first change the method in which the function would be triggered, all went well there. then I tried to change which function would be triggered. (Basically use the function I wanted to happen on click of the child window rather then the function from the test). Once I did this switch, nothing happens. The site this is being used on is: http://tylerpanesar.ca/ What I want is when the menu bar is open in the parent window, the user chooses a link and the menu closes and goes to that link in the child window. This already works. However if the user opens the menu bar and then changes there mind and continues with the page the are currently on (clicks any content in the child window), the menu stays open. Currently the menu "hides" only when you choose one of the menu items, but it does not "hide" when you CLICK on child document. If you could figure out how to get it to "hide" on a "mouse out" that would be the better option. I attempted this method however i could only get it to "toggle" the menu on "mouse out". This method does however create an annoying flicker when you hover over the menu items (as it is toggling the open menu command I guess). If I had it "hide" the menu on "mouse out" it would "hide" as soon as you moved off of the main button. The viewer doesn't even have a chance to click a link. or at least that is what happens when I did it. You may have a better method to achieve this. The script that tells it to hide on click is within a jQuery function: Code: menua
.click(
function(){
menu.hide();
the code I used for the mouseout toggle was: Code: menu
.mouseout(
function(){
menu.toggle();
Here is the script that I am currently using for the menu to open and the "click" hide feature. This menu feature comes from the following help: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1740-Bu...-FaceBook-.htm Code: <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function( $ ){
var menuRoot = $( "#menu-root" );
var menu = $( "#menu" );
var menua = $( "#menu a" );
// Hook up menu root click event.
menuRoot
.attr( "href", "javascript:void( 0 )" )
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.toggle();
// Blur the link to remove focus.
menuRoot.blur();
// Cancel event (and its bubbling).
return( false );
}
)
;
menua
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.hide();
}
)
;
// Hook up a click handler on the document so that
// we can hide the menu if it is not the target of
// the mouse click.
$( document ).click(
function( event ){
// Check to see if this came from the menu.
if (
menu.is( ":visible" ) &&
!$( event.target ).closest( "#menu" ).size()
){
// The click came outside the menu, so
// close the menu.
menu.hide();
}
}
);
});
</script>
I've tried adding the click to "hide" menu feature to the child document but there is now menu in that document for it to "hide". What I was trying to was have the child document execute a function from the parent document and have that function executed IN the parent document. I've tried the technique from the link in my very first post but I believe it only calls the function from the parent and executes it IN the child. Which does not work for me as the menu is not in the child. There should be a way to make the child execute a function FOR the parent. I apologize for this very wordy post, but I am extremely frustrated with this now as I have been trying to get this to work for a few weeks now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tyler I have the code below in my popup window which currently brings up a blank page in the background as the main window. Instead I want the popup to come up but the original page I left is in the background as the main window. Does anyone know how I can do that with the code I currently have. Code: <html>

For a parent window opened a child window, how can the parnet window be notified when the child window is closed or terminated? Thank you. Hi, I have parent page with 10 child window and i want to close all child window when click on close session button on parent but first i need to check whether any child window open or not after that action should be done for close the child window. Hi, I am creating a new child air window called "test.html" as follow. How can I call a javascript function in parent window from child window? function createMyWindow() { var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions(); options.type = air.NativeWindowType.LIGHTWEIGHT; options.systemChrome = air.NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE; options.transparent = true; mywindow = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, options, false); mywindow.load(new air.URLRequest("test.html")); .... } Thanks, ASM I am currently creating which will allow the user to upload their own pictures. For this I am opening a new pop up window where the user can select the file they wish and then upload it (similar to ebay's picture upload). The pop up works fine and so does the file upload however I am having trouble transferring any data from the pop up window back to the parent window. I have been investigating the opener method but cannot seem to get it to work. Below is some simple code that I've been trying to get to work... Thanks for any help! first page... Code: <form name="loadpic" id="loadpic" action="createPost.php" method="post">
<br />
<br />
Testing transfer between pages... <input type="button" value="open pop up" onclick="window.open('popup.php','pop up box','width=400,height=200')" />
<br />
<br />
<span name="myspan" id="myspan">text here</span>
</form>
pop up page... Code: <head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Pop Up</title>
<script language=javascript>
function transfer(){
opener.document.loadpic.myspan.innerHTML = "working";
window.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
This is the pop-up page!
<input type="button" onclick="return transfer()" value="press me" />

Hi all, Thanks for reading. I'm having an issue trying to accomplish the following - I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right, so I'm wondering, would anyone be able to assist me to help me get that variable processing correctly? Code: <script language="javascript">
fields = 1;
function addMore() {
if (fields = 1) {
document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field2' size='25' /> <span>Field 2.</span>";
fields = 2;
} else if (fields = 2) {
document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field3' size='25' /> <span>Field 3.</span>";
fields = 3;
} else {
document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "Only 3 fields are allowed.";
document.form.add.disabled=true;
}
}
</script>
Here is the code in my HTML - Code: <input type="text" name="field1" size="25" /> <span>Field 1.</span> <div id="addedMore"></div> <p class="addMore"><form name="add"><a onclick="addMore()">Add another field.</a></form></p> Thank you very much. I guess this case applies to both popup windows opened by window.open() and by showModalWindow(). I have two buttons in popup window, "Cancel" and "Save". If the user clicks either button, there is a "process" at parent window before close() at popup being called. The problem now is, if the user click the "X" sign at top right corner of that popup window, how to trigger the "process"? I think I can do nothing in popup window since the closure is unexpected programmatically. Can I put some kind of listener in parent window to detect if popup is closed? Hi there, i have one script which is supposed to pop up a new win and after it does write a piece of text in it. This text comes from inside the HTML area: Code: (script)
function popupwin(whichOne) {
var width = 450;
var height = 490;
var left = parseInt((screen.availWidth/2) - (width/2));
var top = parseInt((screen.availHeight/2) - (height/2));
var windowFeatures = "width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",status=no,resizable=no,location=no,titlebar=no,left=" + left + ",top=" + top + "screenX=" + left + ",screenY=" + top;
newwin = window.open("spSelect.html","spSelect",windowFeatures);
spSelect.document.whichOne.value = whichOne;
}
(calling part in html)
<a href="javascript: popupwin(Souvlaki);"><img src="images/orderbutton.gif" width="100" height="20" border="0"></a>
(new win place where text is supposed to appear)
<input name="whichOne" readonly="readonly" type="text" class="textfield">
I'm writing a small browser-side Javascript that parses XML from a file and modifies it using E4X. I need to get the result to an xml text file without making the user go through a dozen hoops. Since making a JS client do file I/O is nearly impossible I gave up on that. My next idea was to make Firefox open a new window of contentType text/xml, with my serialized xml in it: Code: var xmlDoc = new XML(SourceXMLString); //SourceXMLString is read from an xml text file
output = window.open("");
output.document.open("text/xml");
output.document.write(xmlDoc.toXMLString());
output.document.close();
However any document.write instance seems to set the contentType to text/html and so all the tags are rendered wrong, naturally. From https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73409 it seems that document.open creates the right contentType, but document.write messes it up. Note: this is for a specific internal project, not the public internet. Therefore it only needs to work in Mozilla 3+, and also server-side is not an option. I'm totally open to other suggestions. What's the most streamlined/easiest way, for the code and the user, to get from that XML construct to an .xml file? I'm trying to accessing the Parent window fom a sub window previously opened using window.open I'm using firebug to t yand debug, and it shows that this DOM entry exists.. window.opener.location.href But trying to access it gives "window opener is null" error I've tried all these, and get the various errors tagged on the end... Code: <script language="JavaScript"> //alert(opener.location); // = opener is null //alert(opener.location.href); // = opener is null //alert(parent.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 //alert(parent.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.opener.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 //alert(parent.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.window.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.window.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(window.opener.location); // = window opener is null //alert(window.opener.location.href); // = window opener is null //alert(window.parent.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 </script> driving me crazy! Anyone have a solution? currently i have the script as below which open the link in new tab but also shifts the focus to it...how do i keep the focus on the parent window PHP Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function openlink(url) { window.open(url); return false; } </script> <div class="btn" onclick="openlink()">Open Link</div> Hi All How popup windows are made using Javascript? I am not talking about the popups cretaed using window.open. I am talking about the window which appears to display some advertisements in most of the sites. Charles |
