Hey all,

i need help with carrying hidden data from a page to a popup. Bascially i have a page with an item on it. This item has an item code, i want to put in an enquiry button on the page. so that when a customer clicks on it a pop up opens. The pop up will have a small enqury form on it with all the usually fields on. The problem i have is that i want the pop up to open with the item code already in a item code field. This will save the customer having to look wat the product number is of the product that they want an equiry about is.

Still with me....

Anyway. i figured i'd use a small form like the following:

Code: Select all: <form method='post' target="_blank" action"submit"> <input type='hidden' name=Itemcode value='001'> <input name="submit" type=submit class="style11" value='Equiry' /> </form>

But i don't want the target to be _blank i want to run some jsript off the button!...... is this possible? e.g. action='javascript:namehere()'

So can anyone help me

1)open a popup off a form button
2) carry the item code from the main page to a field on the popup

Thanks in advance

You can attach a submit handler to the form or to the submit button:

Code: Select all: <script> function doStuff() { // this function will be called when the user clicks Submit } </script> <form onsubmit="doStuff()"> <input type="submit"> </form>

i want the pop up to open with the item code already in a item code field.

The most straightforward way is to take the field value from the form data submitted from the original page. A form like

Code: Select all: <form action="processForm.html"> <input type="hidden" name="itemcode" value="001"> <input type="submit"> </form>

will load a URL like "processForm.html?itemcode=001" when submitted. processForm.html like this

Code: Select all: <html><head> <script> function processParameters() { var fieldPos = document.location.href.indexOf("?") // was the page was loaded with arguments encoded in the URL? if (fieldPos >= 0) { // isolate the arguments var parameters = document.location.href.substr(fieldPos+1) var valuePos = parameters.indexOf("=") // process a single argument of the form "id=value" document.getElementById(parameters.substr(0,valuePos)).value = unescape(parameters.substr(valuePos+1)) } } </script> </head><body onload="processParameters()"> <form> item code <input type="text" id="itemcode"> </form> </body></html>

would pre-load that value into its own form.

thanks for the reply, in the end i just added a enquiry form button on each product page. I just added a hidden input to the enuiry button, which was the item code i wanted to be carried across. Like below;

Code: Select all: <form action="EnquiryForm.php" target="_blank" method="post"> <input type='hidden' name=Itemcode value='itemcodehere'> <input type="submit" class="style11" value="Enquiry"> </form>

Then when EnquiryForm.php was opened i used a onLoad function to resize the window to a popup like size. Somthing like;

Code: Select all: <body onload="window.resizeTo(350,580);">

And then to place the hidden item code into the EnquryForm i just used php to move the hidden input field where i wanted it. With somthing along the lines of;

Code: Select all: <?php foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){ if ($key!="submit"){ $value=htmlentities(stripslashes(strip_tags($value))); echo "\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$key\" value=\"$value\">\n"; } } ?>

so now when a customer sends an enquiry about a product, who ever's reading the enquiry will know wat product the customer is equiring about.
