Question re. js. I have opened a new window (to display report) and it has a 'close' link which worked like a sweetie in some browsers (usual story). Anyhow at the mo I have some javascript which is based around the good ol' window.close() method, this sort of works, the only prob is that it still submits, i.e. it executes the bit of html in the template that goes off to the method in Facility (which then throws a null pointer). How do I stop this from happening? Cheers, Naomi. |

How do I stop this from happening? When you say "executes the bit of HTML" what do you mean? Do you mean your popup window contains a form and when the user clicks on the close link the form gets submitted? Do you have the HTML somewhere so we could have a look at it? -- Matthew Buckett |

Nope, it's not a form. After I hit the 'close' link, it still goes
to Facility and tries to execute the getReport method defined in the
<call>, and I want to stop it from doing this.

All I need it to do is close when the user hits the close link (in all browsers), at the moment it just goes off to Facility anyhow and I'm trying to stop it doing that. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'll have to do it another way. It worked fine in Safari if you just used href=".", but not in FF or IE, so I'm trying to find a solution that works for all.

Can't you just stick this on the pop-up page? Or have I missed the point
here?:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write('<form><div align="center"><input type="button"
value="Close" name="js_close_window" tabindex="1"
onClick="window.close()" class="js_close_window"></div></form>');
// -->
</script>
<noscript>Use the browser to close this window. This will not save any data
entered on the <strong>current</strong> page.</noscript>

I'm not really following what you need the template to do Naomi, but is there a way you can achieve what you want to another way, that possibly doesn't involve JavaScript? Maybe use some conditional logic in the template to call different methods in the Facility class you're using? Colin Matthew Buckett wrote: > Naomi Miles wrote: >> Nope, it's not a form.
