i have a document that contains an approve button that has a javascript code below that assigns a value to a field “flag”. everytime i click on the approve button the value of the field flag does not changed to 2. what maybe the problem???
var form = document.forms[0]
form.flag.value=“2”;
form.submit();
self.close();

Try this…
Assign an ID to the field, say “flagID”.
Now, your button:
That should set the field value… but as for the closing of the window…
There’s another approach I tend to use, which is to create a page which has it’s content type set to “text/html”:
Now, I use this page as my destination post-submission of a given form (via the $$Return, for example, or posted from my agent, etc.) I then pass querystring parameters to this page:
success.html?open&header=val1&onload=val2…
Using the @UrlQueryString function, I can get the values from the querystring and now make the page above completely dynamic. For example, I might use something like this:
@If(@UrlQueryString(“onload”) = “close”; “onload="window.close();"”;“”)
My $$Return would return this post-submission:
page.html?open&onload=close
This would then, (if placed on my second from the above example, allow me to dynamically control the flow of my application using querystrings generated from the application logic.
I have a few examples of this on my site… if you’re interested, I’ll go into further detail.
