Getting error on passing to new window

Tj_C

So I read thru some old threads, but couldn't quite find this situation.

I have a link in script1 that open's a pop up window and send's some info to that new script (we'll call it script2). I am also using onClick in the link to submit a form back to script1 so it will redraw a table.

I am able to pass the var to the new window just fine, but the window that contained the results of script one now just says [object]. Here is the line of code that I am using for the link.


print <<< HERE

<form name=wr action=script1.php4 method=post><input type=hidden name=cmd value=r>
</form>
<a href=javascript:newWin=window.open('script2.php4?it=$key',
'PopUp','width=550,height=650,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=1,left=1,screenX=1,screenY=1,status=no,target=_self'); onClick=document.forms.wr.submit(); newWin.focus(); )>

HERE;

Any idea's

Thanks is advance

this might be better

<script language='Javascript'>
function pop1(cKey)
{
var newWin=window.open("script2.php4?it=" + cKey, "PopUp","width=550,height=650,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=1,left=1,screenX=1,screenY=1,status=no");
document.forms.wr.submit(); 
newWin.focus(); 
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:pop1('{$key}');"> blah </a>

plus you can then move the function onto a separate javascript file and away from your PHP code so it doesn't have to be regenerated, just the <a> tag.

ps: javascript should be one word but shows here as 2

Thanks for you help, this worked out fine. I guess like ususall, any time you can functionalize the better.

This brings up another question...how can I pass more than one variable to the pop1 function and then to the new page.

I tried {$var,$var2} where you had {$key} and this just caused an error with php. Unfortuantley the isp that is hosting for me doesn't show the errors.

Thanks in advance for you help

oops figured it out. Just sending a string to the js function.

did some string manipulation and all is well.
