Hi,

I have 2 jsps exceptionsList.jsp and feecompute.jsp

on clicking a button in exceptionsList.jsp i call

var ret = window.showModalDialog(appRoot + "/exceptionHandling.do?actionType=displayExcDet&flg= "+taskname, "AdHoc Portal", "dialogWidth:700px;dialogHeight:670px;help:no;scro ll:yes;status:yes;resizable:yes;");
return;

 This opens up the feecompute.jsp.
 feecompute.jsp contains a struts form.
 On clicking the save button , I do

 var formToPost = "excHandlingActionForm";
               var str = formPOST(formToPost, url);
 alert(str);
 return;

The Action class returns some errors, now i want to display these errors to the user on the same jsp or the a new jsp.
My problem is that when i do the alert(ret), i can see the expected result in it.
but a new jsp does not opens up neither the current jsp refreshes.

The code for formPost is

function formPOST(frm, url) {
    var str = buildPOST(frm);
    var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    xmlhttp.open("POST", url, false);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send(str);
    return xmlhttp.ResponseText;
}

function buildPOST(formName) {
    var frm = document.forms[formName];
    var POSTdata = "";
    var type = "";
    var on = false;
    var value = "";
    for (var i = 0; i < frm.elements.length; i++) {
        var name = frm.elements[i].name;
        if (frm.elements[i].type) {
            type = frm.elements[i].type;
            type = type.toLowerCase();
            if (type == "checkbox") {
                on = frm.elements[i].checked;
                if (on==true){
                    value = escape(frm.elements[i].value);
                }
                else {
                    value = "";
                }
            }
            else {
                value = escape(frm.elements[i].value);
            }
        }
        else {
            value = escape(frm.elements[i].value);
        }
        if (name != "") {

            if (POSTdata == "") {
                POSTdata = name + "=" + value;
            }
            else {
                POSTdata += "&" + name + "=" + value;
            }
        }
    }
    alert(POSTdata);
    return POSTdata;
}


Now when i do something like below it works, but the window opened is not a modal one.


             //document.excHandlingActionForm.action = url;
             //document.excHandlingActionForm.submit();
             //window.close();



can anyone help me in getting a modal window in which the errors are displayed.
