Passing values from one page to another

Hello all,

I’m trying to send some text from one page to another page that is already open. I found an example that does this but it opens up a new page every time.

///Main Page
<HTML>
<Head>
<Script Language=JavaScript>

xferWindow = “”;
tmpVal = 0;

function xferValue(){

xferWindow.document.getElementById(‘xferArea’).value = tmpVal;
}

function getValue(){

tmpVal = document.getElementById(‘origArea’).value;
xferWindow = window.open(‘TAWindow.html’);
xferWindow.opener = self;
}

</Script>
</Head>
<Body>
<center>
<h3></h3>
<form name=’nameInput’>
<form>
<textarea cols=”40″ rows=”4″ id=”origArea”>
</textarea>
</form>
<br>
<input type=’button’ value=’Show Text in New Window Text Area’ onClick=”getValue()”>
</center>
</body>
</html>

//Called Page
<HTML>
<Body>
<form>
<textarea cols=”40″ rows=”4″ id=”xferArea”>
</textarea>
</form>
<Script Language=JavaScript>
opener.xferValue();
</Script>
</Body>
</HTML>

@Mr_JAug 18.2004 — Please try the following in your main page



<Script Language=JavaScript>

xferWindow = null

tmpVal = 0;

function xferValue(){

if(xferWindow){

xferWindow.document.getElementById('xferArea').value = tmpVal;

}

}

function getValue(){

tmpVal = document.getElementById('origArea').value;

xferWindow = window.open('TAWindow.html');

}

</Script>

@vitopauthorAug 20.2004 — Put your code in but new pages continue to open each time I hit the submit button.

@javaNoobieAug 20.2004 — you will have to check if it is already opened. if it is not opened, open another window.
<i>
</i>if(xferWindow!=null &amp;&amp; xferWindow.close){
xferWindow = window.open('TAWindow.html');
}
