Response document via a pop up?

Is this possible? I want to create a web based system, where I fill out the main portion of a form, but need to add response documents but don’t want to navigate away from the form I’m on.

Is there a way to open up a popup window, fill in some information, auto create a response document and then populate the response document with the info in the popup window?

Subject: Response document via a pop up?

I’ve never tried that but as long as you save your parent doc first and pass a handle to it so the response doc knows who it belongs to, seems feasible to me.

I’ve used pop-up windows to create new docs, then when that window closes, focus is returned to the main window.

  1. My button on the main window has a call like this:

AddSavedSearch(form, parentType, searchQuery, dbPath);

  1. the function:

function AddSavedSearch(form, parentType, searchQuery, dbPath)

{

var pathName = ‘/’ + dbPath + ‘/SavedSearch?OpenForm&ParentType=’ + parentType + ‘&SrchQry=’ + searchQuery;

window.open(pathName,‘SavedSearch’,‘status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,screenX=100,screenY=100,width=700,height=500’);

}

  1. Your response doc window will need to have some code that will return to the main window. I put this in the OnUnLoad event & in my case my doc can also be opened in the main window so I need to distinguish if it’s in a pop-up or not:

if (window.opener) {

// extra stuff you won’t need removed …

window.close();

}
