Passing variable between servers

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 28.2005

Hello,

I have a bit o a problem, maybe the forum can help me.

I have 2 servers, on the first server there is a page that as a form with a text box. In front of it i have a button that opens a popup window. This windows is located in another server, server 2. In this window I select a value in a listbox and on submit I do a “opener.form.listbox.value = …”

I know that if this were in the same server it would run nicely. The problem is that this is in two diferent servers. My question is that if it is possibel to do it.

PS. At this time it throws an “Access denied error”

You can pass an argument from the pop-up to a function in the opener.

example:
<i>
</i>opener.someFunction(myVariableFromThePopUp)

@phpnoviceApr 28.2005 — No, cross-domain scripting is verboten in the Internet environment. What would have to be done is to submit the value back to the other domain. This can be accomplished by having the main window name itself:
[code=html]
<body onload="top.name='mainWindow'; return true;">
[/code]
Then the popup window would have a FORM tag coded as follows:
[code=html]
<form action="http://otherdomain.com/page.asp" target="mainWindow">
[/code]

I don't think you've tried that. ?

It doesn't work cross-domain.

@UltimaterApr 28.2005 — I've done it with bookmarks before but instead it was:

javascript:void(opener.someFunction(myVariableFromThePopUp))

@UltimaterApr 28.2005 — hmm... I don't have two seperate domains to test it but I'll take your word for it.

So, this post represents your best solution -- I think:
