Variable not being sent using javascript window

[Gary_Kambic]

Hello,

This problem is not exactly php related but I'm so frustrated I thought someone might be able to help.

I basically want to open a new window when a submit button is clicked.

I have two POST statements after the script. The one that calls the javascript is not passing the variables. The one that calls the brochure.php page sends the variable "rating" fine.

Why is it passing the variable with brochure.php and not when I try to use the javascript resized popup window?

Any help would be appreciated,

thanks,

Gary

what are u trying to achieve?

if its the resizing of the popup window after the submit button is pressed why dont u put an onload='blah' handler in the new window? that will let u size it to what u want

im not sure the post vars get reflected across the creation of a window in javascript ... think about it ... thats client-side stuff and the form is meant to be posted to the server ... by setting the action to a client side script there is no server round-tripping except to call the reqd php file into the new window

i wouldnt put my life on it but i think thats ur problem
