texte = MacOS 9.1, WebSTAR 4.4, WebCat 4.0.2rc1 patched First off, I suck at JavaScript. It's on the list of things to learn more about.That being said, I have a part of a site that shows local movie listings. Users can search by theater or by movie. They select a movie or a theater from a selection list and click on the submit button. If I just have it go another page in the same window, it works just fine --- the the variables get passed.BUT, if I try to do it via a new window created via a JavaScript function, the formvariables are NOT passed to the new window where they are needed for a search.Is there a way to pass select option values to a new window created with JavaScript? I searched the archives, but I couldn't find anything exactly on point or that I understood enough to modify to my needs. Below is the code for one of the forms:
[search db=admin/listing.db&eqFIELD1datarq=4&asFIELD3sort=1] [/search]
I'd just put the variable in the URL I'm passing to the JS function, but it depends on the selected option. I can't figure out how to get the value of the selected option and insert it into a JS function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Steven -- Steven Jarvis Web Developer sjarvis@nwaonline.net NWAonline.net ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
