Hi, I have a popup window that loads a filter aspx page where a string is entered to filter a dataset to be displayed in a datagrid of the main page that opens the popup. I have a radiobuttonlist and textbox that passes the value of the column name and querystring respectively to be used to filter the rows. How do i obtain these values and pass them back to the main form using javascript.

Any help appreciated.


If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you!
Skydiving anybody?

Pass them via query string dynamically.

something like this:

string sJavaScript;

sJavaScript = "<script langauge=javascript>";
sJavaScript += "window.opener.location.href='./somepage.aspx?value1=" & somevalue & "&value2=" & somevalue & "';";
sJavaScript += "window.close();"
sJavaScript += "</scr" & "ipt>";

Response.Write(sJavaScript);

Handle the query string values on the original page and also notice the last line of sJavaScript how the closing script tag is split up, keep it like that or you will get a JavaScript error if you try to just appened "</script>" to the string.

"The one language all programmers understand is profanity."

Thankyou for that, works like a charm. I am curious though as to why the closing tag needs to be split up. Seems to me like it would be a major headache for many people. I put it in as a single string and its working fine, but Im also using C#. Im not sure if that matters though. Or is it a browser capable thing?
