I have a form formABC that has a textbox plus a button. On clicking the
button, window.open() a popup window for user to select a value. The
value will then be passed back to formABC's textbox.

Now I want formABC to submit itself *AFTER* the textbox got a value. How
could I do it?

1 - Do you think "Javascript question"
is an informative subject line in a Javascript NG?

2 - show your code [the relevant working part, that is]

Sorry, it is not even a javascript NG, but the ASP NG.

3 - is this an ASP related question, and if so why?

Show your code!

There is no javascript newsgroup in msnews. so I guess ASP people could
answer the question.

Thank you first. The textbox:

<td><input type="text"
id="txtItem_no{$xx}"
name="txtItem_no{$xx}"
value="{$dtl_array.$ileft.item_no}"
size="10"
onchange="this.form.submit();" />
<a href="#"
onclick="window.open('cnst_141.php?varname=txtItem _no{$xx}',
'cnst_141','width=700,height=550,left=10,top=20'); "
class="button">?</a>

My current solution in the popup (cnst_141) window after the selected
value was clicked:

function returnitem(thevarname, thevalue) {
var parentform = window.opener.document;
var thevar = parentform.getElementById(thevarname);
if (thevar) {
thevar.value=thevalue;
thevar.form.submit();
}
window.close();
}

I am wondering whether there is a better way out...

The closest is m.p.scripting.jscript

You would have a better chance of an answer there, especially once you've
shown them your code.

however you will miss the wealth of info available on
the much more active NG:

comp.lang.javascript

[and it's FAQ.]

What about comp.lang.javascript? - maybe you ISP hosts this group? Or
Google Groups might.

I wish mine would. (It doesn't support any news groups.) I almost feel like
going back to iinet (which of course is a W.A. firm ). If you see my reply
to another post, I woudl like to access news groups other than MS groups
through OE6. And I don't trust Google - will it protect my email address
from spam?
