I need anyone's assistance in accomplishing this task. What I'am doing is trying to pass values from one form to another without any success. We have an apps that and is functional right now, but the users have to scroll down to look at the other fields in order to select the values. I thought it would be a great idea to have the drop down box to pop up and pass back the values to the main form Help!!!! jbond7 7.61, nt 7.61, nt Output: excel, pdf, html, | ||

When you post code you need to place [ code] (without the space) before your code and [/code] afterwards. Then your code will be displayed correctly without being interpretted as HTML and giving us a headache trying to help you. Go back and edit your posts by clicking on the middle icon below right of your posts and make the changes so that we can see them.

You can only pass form object values from one HTML file to another via cookies or JavaScript. You can pass the variable to a FOCEXEC that has HTML in it, which is the easiest method. TexasStringRay posted this a while back: which also works to use it you must have an form method of get or create the url with the parameters on the url (that is what GET does). In your javascript call the Request function passing the Name of the URL Parameter that you want to find the value of example: To get the val of the parameter called UserID in the Below url http://localhost/test.htm?UserID=ABC1234 var UserID = Request('UserID'); Hope this helps! ------------------- WF 5.33 (virtual server 7.17 / 7.64) Windows Server 2003 WF 7.6.10 /IIS 6/ JBoss Enterprise 4.3 Windows XP SP 2/Windows 2003 Server MVS 7.3.3 | |||

J, The method that JB is refering to here is passing from a child (or modal) HTML form back to the parent which is perfectly feasible. Take these two HTML files - <html>
<head>
<title>HTML Launch Page</title>
<script language=javascript>
function get_value() {
var url = "http://localhost/HTML_Form.htm?Rand="+Math.floor(Math.random()*100000);
var ReturnValue = showModalDialog(url,"","dialogWidth:140px; dialogHeight:225px; status:no; center:yes");
document.getElementById("textbox").value = ReturnValue
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="get_value();">
<form id=form1>
<input type=textbox value="Not set" id="textbox" name="textbox1">
</form>
</body>
</html><html>
<head>
<title>HTML Form 1</title>
<script language=javascript>
function pass_value() {
ctrlCol = document.getElementsByName("rbtn");
for (i=0;i<ctrlCol.length;i++) {
ctrlId = ctrlCol(i).id;
ctrlObj = document.getElementById(ctrlId);
if (ctrlObj.checked) {
returnValue = ctrlObj.value;
}
}
self.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id=form1>
<input type=radio checked value="Value 1" id="rbtn1" name="rbtn">Value 1<br />
<input type=radio value="Value 2" id="rbtn2" name="rbtn">Value 2<br /><br />
<input type=button onclick="pass_value();" value="Return Value">
</form>
</body>
</html>The first one is the launch page and on opening sets the second as a modal form. This means that you cannot access the underlying one until you have closed the modal form. When you make your choice on the modal form and close it, the original HTML page processes the returned value and populates the textbox with that value. The advantage of using this type of control over a standard JavaScript prompt function is that you can use combo boxes etc. T

I guess using code tags is a little too troublesome? Please make the effort and change your previous posts so that we can see what code you are using without jumping through hoops by viewing source and then untangling your pieces apart from the forum code.

Tony, will this work on multi-select values? 7.61, nt Output: excel, pdf, html, | |||

JB, Yes, because the modal form is an actual HTML page in its own right and can therefore contain any HTML form control you care to code. T p.s. well done for making this topic easier on the old eyes

I use it for checkboxes, radio buttons and a multi select box with contents built from the XML output of a fex. Works like a dream and so much better than prompting. The sample I gave above works independently of WF and does not use WF at all. The intent was to show how you can achieve it with HTML and JavaScript first before you migrate it to WF. T
