I have a problem,

I have a window that has a button in it, when you click it, it opens a pop-up window with a form in it, you fill in the information an press sumbit and another pop-up window opens with the appropriate response in it, that's fine but in the first pop-up window, when submit is pressed, in the same window it loads the original window. How can I stop this from happening?

It it's not clear what I mean tell me and I'll upload the files that will hopefully explain what I mean.

Sounds like a window name is being used more than once.

i can't find anything like that, get the attachment to see what I mean, or you can jujst look at the source:



<html>
<head>

<script language="javascript">

function Popup(){

Popup = window.open("","PopUp","height=300, width=400, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, status=yes");
Popup.document.writeln("<html><head><script language=\"javascript\">");
Popup.document.writeln();
Popup.document.writeln("function Addup(){");
Popup.document.writeln();
Popup.document.writeln("a=addup.a.value;");
Popup.document.writeln("b=addup.b.value;");
Popup.document.writeln();
Popup.document.writeln(" Addup = window.open('','AddUp','height=300, width=400, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, status=yes');");
Popup.document.writeln(" Addup.document.writeln('<html><head><title>Add Up</title></head><body onload=\\'create(this.form)\\'>');");
Popup.document.writeln(" Addup.document.writeln('<p align=\\'center\\'><font face=\\'verdana\\' size=\\'4\\'><b>Add Up</b></font></p>');");
Popup.document.writeln();

Thanks it's now working but i don't understand why, all you seem to have done is delete all of the tab's that I used in my source.

and the onload=\"create(this.form)\" in the body but that has no real effect, I don't know why it was there in the first place

wait no I found it, it was something to do with return true, whatever that does, I don't know what it means but I've seen it in lots of places before but what does it do?

needed to stop the submission of the form - return false.
David Harrison

why would I want to STOP the submission of the form?

Because you are using javascript to create the window with the answer. The page doesn't really exist since your script is creating it, therefore a form action is useless as there is no where for it to go. Hope this helps.
